Happy Birthday, America!

Happy 4th of July! I want to celebrate America’s birthday by sharing a few of my favorite photos I’ve snapped across the country this year. Enjoy!

Six sinless activities in the mythical city of Las Vegas

Rarely do I come across a place that I simply do not understand but I have to admit, Las Vegas is one of those places.  Earlier this month I spent an ENTIRE week in *Las Vegas (I can’t recommend staying there for more than four days); my first visit...

A helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon

Part of me feels like a terrible American because I had never visited the Grand Canyon before last week.  It’s not like I hadn’t tried!  The last time I was in Arizona, a freak snowstorm caused the south rim of the Canyon to close and seemingly dash my hopes of...

Birthday fun at The Jefferson Hotel – Washington, DC

Happy Memorial Day!  On this national holiday intended to honor our troops, I thought it might be night for me to highlight a hotel here in our nation’s capital.  Last week I celebrated my birthday by doing the two things I love most – eating and exploring hotels!

Inn at Perry Cabin – St. Michaels, Maryland

Every once in a while my travels take me to a hotel that checks off all of my “LOVE” boxes: strong sense of place, excellent service, incredible dining and loads of amenities.  When I find these hotel gems, I can’t help but sing its praises to everyone I know. ...

Food Friday: Eating my way through North Carolina

What you are about to see is embarrassing.  Only for the simple fact that I’m about to disclose to you the unbelievable…yet necessary (haha, lies) amount of food I’ve eaten in the past five days.

Hi friends! If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram (if you don’t follow me, what are you waiting for?), you know that I’m currently on a southern road trip.  For the past five days I’ve been eating my way through North Carolina before heading down to South Carolina and...

Food Saturday: Kent Island and Kent Manor Inn

Well unfortunately yesterday’s Food Friday post didn’t publish for some reason, so here it is under the guise of Food Saturday!  I’m going to be up front and say that there won’t be a TON of food in this post but I’m sure you’ll be ok.  Let’s continue with...

Historic Annapolis

I’m a complete sucker for historic towns, harbor towns and towns with a central Main street.  Annapolis has all three which pretty much made it love at first sight.  I don’t know why I haven’t spent more time in Annapolis since it’s about 25 minutes from my house but I will...

I’m hitting the road!

Woohoo it’s road trip time!  I’m busting out of DC this weekend to check out a few towns on the eastern shore of Maryland and I could not be more excited.  One sentiment that I’ve always tried to express on this blog is that the idea that travel does not...
