Vacationing in Madison, WI

Ah, Madison.  Honestly, before I met my husband, I didn't know much about Madison, or Wisconsin, except that it was known for its cheese and farms, and if I thought about it that much it was never. But some years ago, I met the love of my life, my "cowboy" I used[...]

Sights and Fun on the Staten Island Ferry Ride

New York City is starting to show signs of Spring. There are moments when it still gets cold and the wind can be chilly, but lately there are more days when the sun shines so brightly, so warm, and when the temperatures are high and the air smells like a new season[...]

Hubby and I recently had a lovely brunch experienc Hubby and I recently had a lovely brunch experience near our beautiful home in Finger Lakes Wine Country. We headed to @burntrosewinebar, on Main St. in Penn Yan NY. I absolutely love the aesthetics and vibes of this restaurant, owned by Rose Curry, a sommelier, and her husband, Chet Thompson, a classically-trained chef. Their field-to-table, seasonal menu is elevated, eclectic, sophisticated, but also approachable and delicious. It celebrates the cultural flavors of Rose’s Mexican roots and features Chet’s culinary talent beautifully. If on the menu, you absolutely must try their Mole dusted burrata topped with toasted pepitas & pumpkin seed oil, and Chef’s Jammy Egg, which is a cured egg served sun-dried tomato and their house-made basil pesto. They have a wine list featuring the best of the Finger Lakes, though my absolute obsession is their spiced apple and caramel Mimosa! The entire experience is addicting…and if you can’t get enough, they also co-own the @the18thamendment.py right next door on Main St., another example of the growing food scene in the Finger Lakes! Reservations are highly recommended. #fingerlakes #pennysnny #flxfoodie #flxeats #upstateny
Hubby took this photo of me, and I kinda love it, Hubby took this photo of me, and I kinda love it, though photos or videos of me are not really my favorite. I like that it shows me genuinely happy in this moment. I like that it shows how far I’ve come in life….in years. And thinking of what I have already accomplished, in the years I have lived so far, makes whatever were wasted moments feel smaller over time. And that feels lucky. I spend so much time capturing the joy of others and feel loved to have someone capture a moment in joy of me. Thanks, @travisjcain, for seeing me with so much love.
Let’s be real: Halloween Season comes and goes t Let’s be real: Halloween Season comes and goes too fast, so if you missed it, I wanted to share this fun Halloween experience to add to your bucket list for next year: the @Naumkeag Pumpkin Show, in the Berkshires’ Stockbridge, MA. 🎃 Book your tix and time slot online (later times are the most popular). 🎃 Park at a designated spot in Downtown Stockbridge and take a short bus ride to Naumkeag, a 44-room Gilded Age “cottage” with 8 acres of awe-inspiring natural beauty, including public gardens. 🎃 Tour the gardens, and through some indoor space to view over 1500 mums, carved displays, and more! 🎃 This is a family-friendly experience, and accessibility is limited, including for strollers and wheelchairs. 🎃 On non-events occasions and depending on weather, the property is available for pre-booked tours. 🎃 Missed Halloween? Book a tour of their Winter Lights holiday displays which kicks off end of November! #berkshiresma #naumkeagpumpkinshow #stockbridgema @visittheberkshires #halloween

Is a day enough to really experience Massachusetts Is a day enough to really experience Massachusetts’ Berkshire County? Not even close. But if you needed a quick little fix of mountain air, a day trip will do. Here were my stops on this 24 hour jaunt to the Berkshires: 📍Coffee and a morning bite at @wanderberkshires in Pittsfield, MA 📍@themountlenox author Edith Wharton’s home, for forest strolling, sculpture and flower garden admiring, and summer cottage touring - and for a light lunch in Lenox, MA. 📍Mount Greylock for a drive up to Massachusetts’ highest point (at 3,489 feet) and some epic views. 📍Dinner and drinks at @touristswelcome in North Adams. 📍Sunset views from Pontoosuc Lake near Pittsfield, MA. #bershirecountrymasschusetts #theberkshires #daytrip #roadtrip #intheberkshires @visittheberkshires
