Two ladies walk onto a train. One says, “This is going to be fun!” The other says, “Yes, but I’m a bit nervous.” By the end of the trip, the two ladies walk off the train. One says, “Let’s do this again.” The other says, “Yes, but not by the f*#king train.” Amsterdam, rich in […]

San Diego High-Fives Part Uno
I wrote that last post so quickly that I didn’t detail review some great places I visited and ones that you should consider as well. Little Italy Farmer’s Market: Every Saturday from 0800-1400, you can find a lovely quaint venue, filled with farm fresh produce, fresh baked breads and pastries, flowers, plants, soaps, and so […]
Sun Diego
I grew up in a city where desert meets the sea. Where hills stretch out into mountains and cliffs crash into oceans. Beautiful Sun… I mean… San Diego! The weather is always great and the scenery is always momentous. Nowadays, it’s much more populated with people wanting to enjoy it’s pleasures. Water sports to hiking […]
New York City
I flew into Newark, NJ to meet my husband, brother, and my husband’s family for a long weekend in NYC. It was a much more productive trip than our last visit last December when it rained seventy five percent of the time. The first day, my brother and I rambled from midtown to Central Park. […]
Hawaii
In August, I traveled to the island of Oahu, Hawaii visiting my best friend in the countryside of Wailua. Spending four days on the Tin Roof Ranch Farm was lovely and just what a hard working woman needed to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. Just five minutes down […]

Here you can find several trails that loop around the estate. Several historic buildings remain on the land and are being restored for public tours. A mill pond has been […]
Mott Lake
One of our favorite past times with our pups is taking them to Mott Lake. Located on Fort Bragg with public access via Plank Road, this lake has become increasingly popular since we arrived in 2015. However, a recent tragedy may discourage avid goers from future visits. We often head out to Plank Road for […]
Lumber River State Park Chaulk
One thing is for sure, North Carolina does not fail to impress for the outdoors nature enthusiast! While we are trying to get out more and explore our surrounding area and state parks, only a twenty minute drive inland from Raeford, North Carolina is the Lumber River State Park Chaulk. As you drive up to […]
247 Craven
We celebrated our anniversary with dinner at 247 Craven, New Bern, North Carolina. This is a true story. The old city smelled of sea with it’s humid air weighing on the evening. As we walked to the restaurant, not far from our hotel, there was a nostalgia of remnant brick buildings, a tall clock tower […]
