Hi friends, welcome back to the finale of my Nantucket series! Our final full day on the island came way too quickly. I suppose that’s the sign of a great vacation. Jon and I didn’t have any big plans other than our usual coffee, sandwich, shopping, strolling, and dinner at Nautilus. We woke up to…

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! Spring came early at the New York Botanical Garden. The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory was transformed into a colorful oasis for the twenty first annual Orchid Show and I was excited to attend. The theme this year is Florals in Fashion and it’s on display until April 21st Tuesday through Sunday…
Hi friends, welcome back and happy first day of spring! I always love the fresh start of a new season, even if spring in NYC is pretty sporadic. We usually have a few teaser spring days before more cold, and then two real spring weeks before it gets too hot. After the holidays the city…
Hi friends, welcome back! One of my goals this year was to go outside more and I’ve got into a good habit of it. I know that probably seems silly, but some days it takes a lot of will power to walk out the door and take the elevator downstairs. The NYC air isn’t always…
Hi friends, welcome back to my Switzerland series! All too quickly our time in the mountains was coming to an end and we wanted to make the most of our last full day in Wengen. Our plan included one last hike along the Eiger Trail, lunch at a mountain hut, and enjoying the cable cars…
