My family and I love the Bronx Zoo and we took advantage of the Memorial Day weekend to venture for a warm day at the zoo. I decided to share our day, and the fun we had there through photography.  Enjoy!

    I just love reading about your NYC adventures. I use to go to NYC twice a year for fall and spring shopping about a 100 years ago (it seems) before I fell in love and had my two great babies. I want to take my family back and introduce them to NYC and you make me want to even more. I will get them there. Maybe in another year. My son is 8yo and daughter is 7yo. They are going to have to get their walking legs before we go.

    Thank you for sharing.

    Gorgeous pics! And so great to see your sweetheart and kids! It's so funny not to have met everyone's family. We should plan some kind of big tweet-up, picnic thing this summer!

Resting after a day of road tripping. We’ve arri Resting after a day of road tripping. We’ve arrived to Vermont, our first getaway since the pandemic started. We’ve brought all our own groceries and look forward to long hikes and dips in the lake. Much of what we can do closer to home, but sometimes a change in scenery is what a travel-loving spirit needs. Are you road tripping this summer? If so, where? . . . #summertravel #roadtrip #Vermont #greenmountains #travel
One of the things that I have learned living here One of the things that I have learned living here is how put off some people can easily be about driving more than 30 minutes anywhere. This is interesting because everything, for us in @theflxcottage, is at least 25 mins away - except the breweries and wineries, the lake and some farm stands. But otherwise, we’re driving. So, going into Ithaca (an hour drive) for a BLM protest and a meal, is really nothing and thank goodness because there are so many good places to eat here! They are slowly reopening, and their popular Aurora St. is open this summer for outdoor dining (see @visitithaca for more). We ventured a block away to finally eat at @moosewood_restaurant. Loved it. Want more. Bought one of the cookbooks. It is now on the top of my list along with @thompsonandbleeckerpizza as well as @mercato_kitchen. I haven’t even scratched the surface of all that’s good (what other places should I try?), and the added bonus is how beautiful the drive is. So, for my friends planning to visit, now you know: plan on driving because all the cool spots are worth it. . . . #roadtrip2020 #fingerlakes #ithacany #ithacaisgorges #ithacafood #flxsummer #besteateries
The longer we’re here the more little gems we fi The longer we’re here the more little gems we find that are seemingly just our own. I am more a lover of the sea, as I spent most of my life surrounded by it, but lakes have grown on me too and if I ever get too scared to jump in, I can always trust on my brave puppy to protect me. . . . #myflx #flxsummers #fingerlakes #upstateny #summervibes #lakelife

Every so often I find myself getting into the old Every so often I find myself getting into the old habits of working too long. I might close my computer, but then I’m on my phone. Or I think of something and start tinkering at it right away instead of jotting it down for tomorrow. But this place makes that a little harder because of all there is to see and do. Like how work turned into an afternoon in Ithaca, walking through the Commons, sipping on an ice latte and taking in the cool city vibes. And while this city inspires creativity and stories and so much I want to write, it’s also laid back and easy to enjoy at a less hectic pace than my brain runs on. If you haven’t been, this summer might be your time. And if you’re a creative soul in need of a break, this just might be your city. . . . #ithacany #ithacaisgorges #ithaca #smallcityvibes #upstateny #fingerlakes #iloveny
Sunset hour in #Hammondsport. What a day! My agen Sunset hour in #Hammondsport. What a day! My agency launched its very first, and free, professional development series, The Future Landscape of Travel and Media, where we covered everything from working with public relations pros, to learning how DMOs are managing marketing through a pandemic, to finding the right mentor to grow your career in entrepreneurship. I’ve been wanting this conversation in this space for a long time and am so incredibly proud to have finally done it. But it was by no means alone and was made possible because of the kindness of some incredible people. It was an industry led series, led by professionals in the industry whom I have met and worked with over the years, and some who are even my clients, all of whom did not hesitate to be a part of this project. This whole experience was the perfect example of the value of relationship building, of being someone people can trust, of working on your craft and building a reputation through hard work, of friendships and beautiful collaborations. Thank you to my team at @BraveWorldMedia for the hours spent planning, designing, promoting, practicing, and talking me off the ledge. And to @montanatia of Lighting Bug PR, @bexshapiro of @intrepidtravel, Nancy Kirby (my business mentor) of @IncubatorWorks, @deidreworldwide of @wanderstayhouston, @406_nicole of @VisitMontana, @spencerspellman of @Sonomacounty, and @christinaflx of @flxwinecountry for their time, insight, advice, guidance, and just overall awesomeness. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I hope we left the space a little more empowered, inspired, and informed. We will share the recap soon. Follow the #FLTM20 for highlights.
