Until he met me, my husband had never been to a Disney Park, and honestly had little interest in ever visiting. THE HORROR!!! It became my personal mission to show him how fun Disney could be for grownups (we don’t have children.) We recently visited Walt Disney World in Florida, and this was our magical day! […]
Exploration Oahu: Part Two
If you read my post about our first day in Oahu, you know our adventure was off to a great start! The second day brought lots of rain, but we didn’t let that put a damper on our fun. Day Two Tropical storms had been hitting Oahu the week before our visit, which had made […]
Exploration Oahu: Part One
Aloha! A week in Oahu? Where to go, what to see, where to eat? I tried my best to forego my beloved “type-A traveler” itinerary, and “let Hawaii happen.” My husband and I spent a week in Oahu, in September of 2015. We spent the first five nights on the south western part of the island, […]

Prior to relocating to Las Vegas, I would pack a cooler and usually a friend or two, and we would make the 2ish […]

A few months ago, I was asked to be part of a panel discussion for my local triathlon club, representing beginners to the sport. I had done one tri in 2013, and after the panel event, I felt pretty motivated to add another triathlon to my race schedule for this year. I found the Esprit […]
Long Weekend in the Shenandoah Valley
Over the past two months, I doubled my “auntie status” with the birth of 2 adorable little nephews. Last week we traveled to Virginia to visit one of them. The foliage had just started to turn as we were leaving, but we still took advantage of fall in the gorgeous Shenandoah Valley. When we were […]
