Fav Destination: Petoskey in the Summer

January 6, 2019

For Michiganders, lakes = life, particularly in the summer, and with good reason! For two summers in a row now, and certainly with the hopes of making this an annual tradition, I’ve visited the tiny lakeside Northern Michigan town of Petoskey with a couple dear friends. It’s a perfect place for a 3 night vacation, … More Fav Destination: Petoskey in the Summer

Wild Goose Island on St. Mary's Lake in Glacier National Park. This was taken from a roadside pulloff along the Going-to-the-Sun road, so anyone can enjoy this view - no hike required!

Fav Destination: Glacier National Park

June 28, 2018

My husband is a big fan of the national parks, which I have barely visited. Most of my travels are out of the country, so I am woefully under-traveled in the US. And when I do travel in the US, it is typically for work or to visit friends. So this year we decided to  … More Fav Destination: Glacier National Park

Most photographed spot in Bruges: the canals, restaurants, and the Belfort light up in a perfect dusk sky.

Fav Destination: Bruges

November 12, 2017

This Fall, my husband and I visited Belgium for the first time. It was also the first time we went somewhere based exclusively on the price of the tickets – Belgium had never been on our lists, but when we found it was cheaper to go there than Chicago, we were quick to buy.  Upon … More Fav Destination: Bruges

The San Antonio Riverwalk, or, Paseo del Rio.

Fav Destination: San Antonio, Texas

July 6, 2017

San Antonio has had a special place in my heart ever since I decided to spend my 4 glorious years of undergrad there at Trinity University. So although I haven’t spent much time there in the last several years (don’t make me count how long it’s been since undergrad – I feel old enough as … More Fav Destination: San Antonio, Texas

The view from one tower to another in the Chateau de Foix.

Fav Destinations: Foix, France

May 31, 2017

My husband and I just celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary, so I’ve been reminiscing about our honeymoon in Northern Spain, Andorra, and Southern France. We planned a grand adventure, which was perhaps ill-advised for me given that the wedding was a grand adventure that consumed all of my planning skills. Which meant that when we … More Fav Destinations: Foix, France

Fav Destination: Nafplio, Greece

May 17, 2017

We rang the New Year in with an ouzo toast in the coastal town of Nafplio, a couple hours outside of Athens. My sister-in-law was living in Greece at the time, and she had scouted out this town for my family, and she sure chose a winner. We only spent a few days there, but … More Fav Destination: Nafplio, Greece

Fav Destinations: Hanoi

May 14, 2017

A couple years ago, my family and I went to Hanoi for 10 days. It was our first time in Asia, but certainly won’t be our last. I’m not a city person, and Hanoi is a busy, jam-packed city unlike any I’d ever seen, but has enough charm and character to woo me back someday… The … More Fav Destinations: Hanoi

Fav Destinations: Azores

May 12, 2017

As the first in my series of Fav Destinations, I’m going to highlight my current obsession: The Azores. First, a few facts. Then, the photos. The Facts: These 9 islands in the Atlantic are an Autonomous Region of Portugal, and the biggest island is São Miguel, which is where we went. They are volcanic, sub-tropical, … More Fav Destinations: Azores
