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 […]
Spring is here! This is always my favorite season. The cherry blossoms have already begun to bloom across Japan and soon they’ll be opening in the US as well. To celebrate, April’s recipe of the month is sakura mochi– a traditional Japanese sweet often enjoyed during hanami. This dessert is perfect for spring because it’s made with a […]

It was supposed to extend almost 300 miles to the Ohio River, but until fortunately the project didn’t last […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica at sunset. Located in the north of Costa Rica in La Fortuna sits Arenal Volcano. Arguably the country’s most impressive volcano, it’s still quite an active one. Having never seen an active volcano up close […]

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 […]
Costa Rica is known for its wildlife and incredible nature. Of course my plans there involved mainly relaxing by the beach and practicing yoga, but when the opportunity to release baby sea turtles came up, I wasn’t about to miss that.
