Why on earth would you ever go to DELAWARE during your tour of the northeast US? Well kids, it wasn’t necessarily by choice. Due to our extreme travel schedule we had missed out on several important dates back home - mainly Shaun’s parents coming to visit. We had let too many years slip by since… Continue reading Dela-WHERE?
...and it was over just like that. Three months in Europe, gone in a flash. It is crazy how time flies when you’re having fun. As we looked up from our books on the Megabus, we found ourselves surrounded by Washington DC. I’m baaaaaaaack. ...with Shaun in tow as a DC virgin. What this means… Continue reading Washington DC: The SECOND Time Around
*standing applause* That is for you guys. Thank you for making 2012 an epic year for us. Without your cheering and lovely comments, we couldn't have accomplished what we have been able to accomplish. We wanted to make sure to give credit where the credit's due. YOU. *raises glass* Thank you for helping us keep… Continue reading Happy New Year 2012!
It is weird to think that we left on our life changing trip 627 days ago. We are quickly approaching 2 years of a cubicle free life and I couldn't be happier. Our year in review is INTENSE. 2012 has been crazy for us as we globetrotted at a breakneck speed. If you would have… Continue reading 2012: Our Year in Review
It started on a whim. We were invited to head out to Santa Con (also known as Santa Rampage) with our dearest friends J&J a few years ago. They are probably some of the only people I know that I would consider more random, more spontaneous, and more whimsical than we are. I think that… Continue reading Santa Con 2012
We were already spoiled with how the concierge set up all of our activities in New York. Adding to the fact that they also can set up reservations (and offer suggestions!) for some of the most popular places to eat in New York, you really get an all inclusive package there. Hilton HHonors was kicking… Continue reading New York Eats with Hilton HHonors
It is only once on every other blue moon when the stars align and your crazy aunt decides to do a raindance that we get the opportunity to take trips that focus on our relationship. Sure, we are a travel couple, but the last time we took a romance based trip was on our honeymoon...… Continue reading FINALLY, A Romantic Getaway! Christmas in New York with Hilton HHonors
What do you do when you find yourself in New York for just a few hours? We arrived to a pull out bed at our friend Steve’s house at 10:30pm after a long flight from Anchorage, Alaska (and a delay) starting at 4am. I look down at my phone and groan. “It is only 6:30… Continue reading Faster than a New York Minute
If you're planning on taking a small road trip along the Seward Highway from Anchorage, Alaska, make sure to make the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center a highlight of your trip. Shaun and I are normally zoo people (don’t hate) but as of lately we’ve been a little worried about the state of the animals and… Continue reading Hidden Gem: Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
Oh Anchorage Alaska! You are so cute, so quaint, and so incredibly cliche. Everything I ever imagined about Alaska you have decorating the sides of your street. And while I would love to have money coming out my hoohah to afford nice furs, I was perfectly content starting into your windows, drooling. You even opened… Continue reading Discovering Anchorage Alaska
*CRUNCH CRUNCH* I awkwardly make my way across the ice. There is a reason that I never made it as a professional ballerina. Besides the fact that I would have despised the tutu, I just can’t hack it in the grace department. Regardless - I had made it to our first glacier. What was supposed… Continue reading The World’s Largest Snowcone: The Matanuska Glacier
We arrived to Anchorage, Alaska a bit tired and and a bit confused about how it could only be 12:30am. I forget that traveling into the past gives you a new type of jet lag - we are always going East. A super quick check in by the friendly clerk at the counter led us… Continue reading Saturday Review: The Hilton Garden Inn – Anchorage, Alaska
I rubbed my eyes and squeed an annoying amount of times. This can't be real, right? I mean, Alaska was just kinda plopped into my lap. One of those destinations that come alive in your dreams. One of those that you're not really sure you will get to experience. I mean, I had already flapped… Continue reading Road Trip Through Alaska, the Last Frontier
Just a little bit of awesomeness to get you through this Friday and into the weekend. There is nothing like a good ol' big of Chicago in HDR.
Couldn't help myself and took out my camera to take pictures of gleeful kids excitedly splashing around during the summer in Chicago.
