Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the Jefferson Memorial at sunrise in Washington DC. I completely underestimated the National Mall. From Google Maps it looked pretty small and easily walkable in a matter of minutes– boy, was I wrong! I must’ve walked 10 miles back and […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of cherry blossoms at Tidal Basin, Washington DC. My trip to DC was kind of a last minute decision, and I wasn’t sure if I’d even make it to see the cherry blossoms in bloom. Luckily, I picked the right […]
Living in Chicago, Indiana is literally just a short drive away. Like really, a 15-20 minute drive, and Indianapolis– only two hours. Despite this, I had never been. I honestly never gave that much thought to Indianapolis, I mean, why would I when Chicago is our country’s third largest city? I thought we had everything I […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Indianapolis. Did you know that Indianapolis devotes more of it’s space than any other U.S. city to honoring our nation’s fallen? Yeah, we didn’t either. The city is second only to Washington, DC in the […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the Canal Walk in Indianapolis. The Indiana Central Canal was dug in the early 1800s, in an effort to facilitate interstate commerce. It was supposed to extend almost 300 miles to the Ohio River, but until fortunately the project didn’t last […]
Sure, Indy’s hip new indie persona is luring in plenty of millennials that now call Indy home. I mean, with an epic food and craft brewery scene like that, what do you expect? But that doesn’t mean Indy is no place for families! We were surprised to find that Indianapolis really does have the best of both worlds and […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the the Circle City at Night. For a small Midwestern city, the one thing we noticed most about Indianapolis was how proud the residents are. Proud of their country, their state, and most importantly, their city, the Circle City. During […]
Growing up with one of the world’s top art museums basically in our backyard, I guess I got pretty spoiled. I assumed all art museums were of a similar quality to the one here in Chicago, but later in life found out just how wrong that assumption was. I was excited to pay the Indianapolis […]
Tomorrow begins the Year of the Sheep (or today for all of my friends and family back in Hong Kong)! Of course, we’ll be celebrating Chinese New Year in Chicago, but the truth is, the celebrations have actually already begun. Last weekend we had the privilege of joining the Chinese-American Museum of Chicago in their celebration of the […]
Thursday marks the beginning of Chinese New Year, so like usual, we’re busy preparing to welcome the Year of the Sheep even though we’re back in the US! This will be the first year that I’ll be celebrating Chinese New Year outside of China. After spending my past two CNY’s in Hong Kong, a city known for its extravagant celebrations, […]
