Champagne and tennis is my favorite new combo, although not at the same time. While many places are safely reopening, there are still some limitations that make us rethink how we travel. With that in mind, I discovered quite a few tennis focused resorts and hotels within the US. My travel backlog is now full... Continue Reading →
We are gravitating towards the mountains these days. Our recent experience at the Inn at Little Washington was the first hotel experience and only the third inside dining experience since the start of COVID-19, but it was a positive one that inspired us to head a little further south and west from the DC area....

This one night mini vacation took us 75 minutes outside of the Washington, D.C. area to a tiny town of less than 200 hundred people and an extraordinary dining experience usually found in New York City or the San Francisco Bay Area.

This past week I traveled to Bentonville, Arkansas on a business trip. When I first learned that I would be traveling to Arkansas I immediately went in search of my state and country tracker. Everyone has one, right? I have not been to Arkansas before so this was an opportunity to put a pin in... Continue Reading →
Iceland is a popular destination at the moment and has been for a few years. Iceland has been that trip that has been half-planned for two years. I started talking about Iceland at the end of 2015 and even received a travel book and map of Iceland as a Christmas gift that year. We first... Continue Reading →
I first visited Stockholm many years ago when a friend and I planned a post-college graduation European trip. We visited 15 countries in 42 days (more on that in a future blog post) but the very first place we landed was Sweden. We stayed with a Swedish college friend of mine and between the two...

I don't know about you but I was obsessed with the Royal Wedding over the weekend and couldn't get enough of the pictures and A-list celebrity Instagram posts for a sneak peak into what it was like being a guest at such a grand affair!
