boston.

I love this city. Plain and simple. Another perk of traveling to Vermont for Paul and Cody’s Wedding, was getting to fly into Logan Airport in Boston for a quick overnight stay in the beautiful city on the water. And it was seemingly meant to be, that D and I were on the last remaining…

the vermont wedding.

D and I spent our long weekend in Vermont for an amazing wedding weekend. Paul and Cody chose TheTrapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont for their wedding. I had never considered Vermont to be on my list of places to travel, so I was overly surprised by the beauty and seclusion of the state and the…

sneak peek– wedding weekend.

Here’s a quick sneak peek from the wedding weekend in Vermont. Paul, Cody and their family and friends were a joy to be around. You really could feel the love! Check back later this week for the rest of the images!  And, if you missed it last week, here’s how Paul and I met. Love!

meet pablo.

It’s officially wedding week! I’m pumped. But before I go into detail about our upcoming trip, I’d like you to meet Pablo, better known to most of the world as Paul. I don’t have an adolescent memory that doesn’t include Paul. The details as to how we became great friends routinely escape my memory, but…

Little did I know I would be transported into the world of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. Three books and 10 days later, I am finally catching up on all…

barnett vineyards.

One of the ways I am able to find great places when traveling is by word of mouth. The last time we went to Napa Valley, we made friends with a guy at Fisher Vineyards. Scotti, a fellow Texan, suggested we try Barnett Vineyards on our next trip for a special experience. Barnett is an…

solage calistoga.

There are those properties that you feel fortunate to have found– the Solage Resort in Calistoga, California is one for me. If you are unfamiliar with Calistoga, it is a quaint little town in the northern Napa Valley. An easy hour and a half drive (in good traffic) from the San Francisco airport, Solage is a much…

napa valley flowers.

I am so behind on my posts but wanted to share with you a glimpse of the beautiful flowers in the Napa Valley this weekend. While the grapes weren’t yet on the vine, and bud break has just begun, the flowers were in full bloom and overly impressive. These are wild flowers, flower beds, succulents… basically…
