This travel post is part of a host agreement. A couple of weekends ago I headed out to join a group of fellow bloggers to give New Jersey beaches a shout out. Weather-wise it wasn't the best weekend. We've been experiencing lots of rain lately, and though I was h[...]
"Why are you going to Richmond?" I got asked this question so many more times than I care to remember before taking the hour and a half flight from Newark into Virginia's capital. Why. Mainly because I have learned that often times some of the best experiences c[...]
I spent a long weekend eating my way through a portion of Richmond, VA. I say "a portion" because I left with a sense that I had only really touched the surface of all that there is to taste. I will go into more detail of every single one of the places I feasted in[...]
Oh, how I enjoy Napa. Just like there is a wine for each palate, so is there a winery for each personality. On my first visit, I got to check out some pretty incredible wineries, but going back made me realize I didn't even begin to cover the tip of it all. And tru[...]

I haven't been to Philadelphia in years, and my husband - who is from Wisconsin - has always wanted to check it out. Because we had such a great 4th of July in Washington, DC a couple of years back, we thought it would be fun to celebrate the 4th in yet another ver[...]
The first time I heard about the Finger Lakes in upstate New York was while sipping on one of their delicious red wines and laughing it up with one of their lovely tourism representatives - the ladies are indeed lovely, but the wine definitely helped bring on the[...]
Last weekend the family and I packed up the car and headed 7 hours South to Virginia to visit the Williamsburg area. Now, we've been to Williamsburg, VA in the past when we visited Bush Gardens in our last Summer road trip. But this time we were going for a new exp[...]
