Hi friends, welcome back to my Nantucket series! On our second full day on the island, we decided to explore Sconset on the eastern side. It’s about eight miles from town so not walkable.

Hi friends, welcome back to my Miami series! I hope you aren’t hungry because today’s post includes everything we ate on our trip. Our first stop after dropping off our bags in Miami was at La Sandwicherie, the most famous sandwich spot in Miami. Jon and I went to the North Beach location on our…
