The energy on the West Coast is something I have never experienced before. And I have to say–I really liked it. It was late at night and I’d just gotten picked up by a friend of mine. As exhausted as I was, I also was wide awake, so she took me to see...

Author note: I can’t write a post about this park honestly without including my entire experience at Crabtree Falls, but I also don’t want to lure you to a post about the beauty of nature and blindside you with death. So I’m going to be as delicate...

The night was perfect–the air crisp, the sky clear. Conditions aligned beautifully for the unveiling of the Perseid meteor shower. At 11 PM, my husband and I packed our chairs in the truck bed and took off down the road to find a dark place to watch the show....

Locals call it Spo-can. Everyone else calls it Spo-kane. Why not drop the E at the end if it’s intended to be Can instead of Kane? Well, I’m pleased to tell you that, with that question, you’ve entered into a nation-wide debate about English...

Last Sunday, I had clear skies and warm weather (90 degrees) so I decided to drive the hour from Harrisonburg to Natural Bridge. I looked on the website briefly and saw there were hiking trails and a hotel. Seemed like there was lots to do so I packed up the dogs and...

I wasn’t sure what all one does when visiting New England besides go to the coast and eat seafood, but there was one place I definitely needed to visit. And that was where this fabulous country all started when the settlers landed in Plymouth. I can imagine the...
