Photographing Girlfriends in Travel

For the past 6 days I have traveled in a road vehicle (RV) with 5 other women for Whiskey Sister and in search of women’s in history along the Southwest.

One of the things that people have started asking us is whether we are ready to kill each other. The answer is no, though none of us will deny that there have been moments here and there where getting out of the RV and putting a little distance between us, as well as stretching our legs and getting fresh air, hasn’t been a welcome break.

We are all getting along really well and have shared a lot of our personal stories, as women who become close often do. Some of us are mothers, some of us are not. Some of us are married, some of us are not. We come from different places and have different experiences, but in the end we are female travelers taking on the road and learning together. In general, this trip has been a great reminder of how important and how wonderful girlfriend travel is.

While on the road I have tried to get writing done, but with so much travel under my belt over the past few days it is hard to find the energy and the focus to get it all done. But my creative self still craves for an outlet even in midst of sleepy haze.

So, I decided to focus on the women that I am traveling with – my girlfriends – as a way to share how I see them with you and as I way to express how close I feel to them after our many days together.

You can follow our journey on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter with hashtag #WhiskeySister. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this more intimate glimpse and check out the sites of the women (by clicking on their names) who have been my girlfriends in travel this week.

I think back to a time when this country life woul I think back to a time when this country life would have never been a consideration. But here I am fully immersed in my beanie-and-flannel-wearing-pumpkin-picking-country-bliss lifestyle in the Finger Lakes. Sure, I gotta a lot of Brooklyn sass and attitude still, but damn, this is such a vibe too! 🥰🎃

This beautiful day was at @thepumpkinstand in Ovid, NY.

After working through the weekend, we needed a lit After working through the weekend, we needed a little rest in nature…but with some comfort amenities.

A stay at @firelightcamps in Ithaca was the perfect spot.

Our glamping tent was cozy, even with no heater or electricity and it was serene waking up surrounded by colorful trees and warm coffee (that hubby got from the main tent where they also serve a complimentary Continental breakfast).

You can explore the nearby Buttermilk Falls or venture easily into Downtown Ithaca.

But we were happy to just enjoy our deck and the calmness of it all before getting back to work.

They are booked often and quickly, so if thinking of a visit, plan early!

Today, my David turns 25. What I have loved about Today, my David turns 25. What I have loved about being a mom is how much we have all grown TOGETHER. Seriously, any parent that feeds you this nonsense of having it all together is lying to you. We are all figuring it out as we go along, and nothing we do can predict if our kids will be great adults...you hope, you might get a glimpse, but "hard tellin, not knowin", as Travis says (LOLZ...Americanisms, amirite?)

David though is pretty amazing. We laugh so much together and his love for his family is something we feel every day, no matter where he may be in the world - as he has continued on the love for travel we instilled in him.

In this series of photos, I am sharing a few funnies we have exchanged as a family (thanks to Carla, his sweet GF), a real insight into how joyful he makes our days.

Motherhood can be such a PITA, but I look at this man David has become, and I am grateful for two things: 1) I didn't f*ck it up, and 2) of what a wonderful gift he is to the world.

Happy Birthday, David. We love you so much.
