Romantic Aruba Escape

Around this time of year, after my husband and I have spent months planning and organizing family get-together and outings, I start to long for a little escape for just us two. My husband's preference for warmer climate tends to draw us to the beach and few are a[...]

I’ve passed through Penn Station more times than I’ve passed through Penn Station more times than I can count, usually with the same mindset: get in, get out, get going. But this time I wandered into the newer Moynihan Train Hall, and for a moment the city actually felt…generous. Sunlight spills through the skylights, the space breathes in a way old Penn never did, and then you look up - like really look - and there they are: vibrant stained-glass break dancers floating overhead, created by Kehinde Wiley. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the brilliant artist behind President Obama’s official portrait. Here, though, it’s not about presidents or formality. It’s about movement, street culture, and the energy that makes New York what it is. A reminder that art belongs everywhere, even above a busy train platform. If you find yourself here, give yourself the gift of a slow minute to look up above the rush. #NYCArt #KehindeWiley #MoynihanTrainHall #slowtravel

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.
