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 […]
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. […]
There are 48 towns in the USA named Greenville. I was lucky enough to visit South Carolina’s and overwhelmed with how fun this city is. One of Greenville’s highlights? The friendly array of gluten-free options throughout their incredible food scene. Downtown Greenville alone has over […]
When was the last time you immersed yourself in Chinatown? I have memories of walking through San Francisco as a child. With its bright, vibrant red lights, lanterns, and loads of shop windows filled with souvenirs. Just last year I enjoyed a family stroll through […]
Growing up I idolized Cher. Although she’s rather a peculiar choice for a child, I didn’t care. I adored her and all of her work. From her films to music and fashion my world was all about her. My biggest dream in life was to […]

One of my favorite elements when traveling is making wishes come true. However small or silly they may seem. A good example is when I was in San Francisco a few years ago. Growing up, baby Mary dreamed of getting her picture in front of […]
It was a happy Friday in the Quad Cities. I didn’t sleep as well as I would have liked but did wake up hungry. It was a good thing since I was excited about breakfast today. We began Tuesday in Iowa’s Bettendorf for dinner at […]
Day three in the Quad Cities has just wrapped. Are you still with me? I hope because I have much more to share about this wonderful group of cities in Iowa and Illinois. The morning focused on the art in Davenport, Iowa. Davenport is another […]
It was a hot and humid afternoon in Georgia. Atlanta, to be exact. By humid, I mean it. I was a sweaty mess as I walked to the botanical gardens and wondered, how the heck do the Georgia locals deal with this? I also wondered why I […]
Earlier this past spring I visited Flagstaff for the first time. Although the journey was brief, the Arizona mountain city left a lasting impression on me. Much like New Mexico, the Grand Canyon State has very powerful energy as you walk its parts. Think content, […]
