Road trips and the good stuff they are made of

We went on another road trip this weekend. To Colonial Williamsburg, VA. In this post, I just wanted to talk about the road trip itself. Not necessarily about this particular road trip, just about the whole road trip idea and why you should do it. I remember not r[...]

Exploring Family-Friendly Side of New Orleans, LA

Just Like Home at Residence Inn Biltmore, Asheville, NC

Asheville was the last stop on our 2010 Summer road trip and by this time we had pretty much spent our "extravagant restaurant experiences" budget. We could have stressed out a little wondering where all the inexpensive places to eat were in this new town we've nev[...]

Meats and Other Eats in Austin, TX

Aside from all the hanging around and napping we did in our recent trip to Austin, TX we did a lot of eating. A lot. So much eating in fact, that it pretty much set us straight for the rest of the trip...well, almost. But good food is definitely one of those thing[...]

Living it up in Austin, TX Family Style

Ok, well, maybe by "living it up" I don't mean taking part in the awesome music scene in Austin, or going to any of the many great bars, or even shopping. But, if you are like me, an adventurer with kids, than you will manage to live it up the best way you know how[...]

Summer isn’t complete without a visit to @spotte Summer isn’t complete without a visit to @spotted_duck_flx in Penn Yan, NY. 

Here you can get frozen custard made from duck eggs, and they also have some dairy free options which are lovely as well. 

It can get busy, especially since being named the best ice cream in New York State, so expect long lines during high tourist seasons. But you can also get lucky, as we did, and experience a mellow visit surrounded by cute ducks and chickens and the serenity of farm country living. 

Worth the visit either way.

Almost 4 years since we moved to the Finger Lakes and I still can’t believe this is my lucky life. ❤️
