Escape!
I recouperated from all of the events (and rested for those to come!) with a waterside weekend in Snead’s Ferry, North Carolina. I didn’t check my phone; I didn’t pull out my camera; and no, I didn’t catch any fish, either.
Travel
Martha’s Vineyard
I’ve finally been to the Vineyard, and it was everything I thought it would be. Preppy polos, lobster salads and beach novels abound! No, they are not really my usual vices, but yes – I enjoyed the weekend considerably. We stayed at the Hob Knob… Read More
Lost in the Bermuda Triangle
While google’ing my name gets you more “Kate,Michael” references from Lost (the television series) than I care to admit, I wouldn’t have minded getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle last weekend. A short weekend on the beautiful Bermuda beaches just was not enough! I’ve wanted… Read More
Chicago!
To quickly recap my first trip to Chicago, I’ll just say that the weather wasn’t as disappointing as I expected, and there was certainly enough to do to fill the days! While I didn’t check off my primary objective, a Chicago deep dish stuffed pizza,… Read More
Chase’s Birthday/Mother’s Day Trip to Georgia!
A break between the old and new job gave me the perfect opportunity to steal away to Georgia for a few days of ‘home time’. How lucky was I? I was in time for my nephew’s 4th birthday. He’s the one that’s always so awesomely… Read More
Sunny San Jaun
I know I was spoiled. I had only to look out my window each morning and see THIS to know it. And while I might have pinched myself, the sunburn set in after only Day 1 of poolside tanning 🙂 After last year (The Inn… Read More
Antietam
I stopped here on my way back to DC from the pageant (I love being a History Dork! Plus, it fits in with the New Years’ resolution to see new sites!). My favorite new knowledge… six generals died here, three on each side. How’s that… Read More
Miss Berkeley County/Miss North Eastern
While I was in Berkeley County, West Virginia this weekend, two major competitions were going on. One was the national tap water tastings… where Los Angeles surprisingly won the title for Tastiest Tap. The other was the annual Miss Berkeley County/Miss North Eastern pageant, which… Read More
Annapolis!
While almost everyone I know was saluting Ted’s documentary in Park City, I took a little adventure trip of my own – to Annapolis. I had only visited the site of our nation’s temporary Capital (post Treaty of Paris in 1783) once before, and as… Read More
Relaxation and Resolutions
Sunshine, warmth, water… and watching a whole lot of great sports – that was my New Years vacation in Key West, Florida. As all vacations are, it was too short, but as relaxing as it was, we packed everything in! The pool, the beach, biking,… Read More
