I’ve been on some fantastic trips these past two months. In between Virginia and New York City (more on that soon), I had a beautiful visit to the Delaware Beaches. It was my first time in the state and I think staying in Rehoboth Beach […]
On my MATPRA adventure, I was so excited to see Virginia for the first time. I flew into Charlotte and hopped in my rental car to head towards Roanoke. My route enabled me to see some of the stunning Virginia Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s been […]
I’ve been in this online writing “world” for over a decade. Despite that, it had been a while since I’d attended a conference. I was selected to attend MATPRA, the Mid-Atlantic Travel Public Relations Alliance’s annual conference for travel media professionals. Gathering this year in […]
It’s already the middle of August. The temperatures continue to rise here in SoCal but that isn’t stopping the parade of pumpkin spice and harvest decor coming in. This has been an exceptionally good summer of activities and enjoying precious days with my Mabel. We’ve […]
Who knew there was a scavenger hunt in the Getty Center? Thanks to Urban Adventure Quest, we got to experience one of our favorite museums in a new way. We just had fun celebrating Mike’s birthday. I wanted Mabel and I to give him a […]
Since I grew up in Pasadena, the San Gabriel Valley is always close to my heart. I spend a lot of time in the area and nearby Inland Empire. A lesser-known gem is Pomona Valley where Claremont lies. I’ve been going to Claremont since I […]
I’ve been fortunate to have a special “place” that Mike and I have visited since we met. I was going on two years of writing on this website when I was invited on my first press trip. Mike and I had been together for merely […]
Memphis is a city I want to see more of. I’ve been twice now and although the visits have been brief, they leave me wanting more. On our last trip, I was fortunate to see some new sights and an old favorite. Memphis Museum of Science History […]
After our eclipse chasing in Arkansas, we headed back to Tennessee. I’m fortunate that Mike has dear friends who have become family through the years that live there. We always stay with them. It was my third trek there to visit and we know how much I […]
Along Comes Mary just had its twelfth anniversary. Since my tagline has always been that “you never know where I’ll show up,” I think I did well to celebrate the occasion. After much debate for nine months followed by a rather swift decision, we traveled […]
I’m no stranger to San Diego. Each time I return I never fail to discover a new neighborhood. On my latest excursion, I realized that’s one of my favorite things about visiting. I have my beloved spots but always manage to add in somewhere new. […]
I don’t know about you, but it’s been a week for me. I’m tired. Car troubles. Happy toddler moments. Sad toddler moments. Tantrums. Breakdowns. And we even threw in Daylight Savings Time. Almost every day this week I’ve been saying by dinnertime, “I need a […]
