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…

Hi friends, welcome back to the final installment of our time in the Catskills. On our last full day we had an early wakeup call to ride the Rail Explorers. I was very excited for this activity because I’d always wanted to try them. It looked like a fun and relaxing time, but I didn’t…
