I have wanderlust on a typical day, but being stuck inside and not really knowing when we can travel again has intensified it. I’m hoping (fingers crossed) for a fall vacation to Boston and up the coast to Maine this year, but kind of playing that by ear and waiting to see how the virus spread goes before hopping on a flight. But since I’m over here dreaming about the day I can start checking […]

Literary Themed Spots You NEED to Visit in Indianapolis

Well, I’m here to tell you that Indianapolis has got it going on when it comes to literary spots you should check out. Here […]

The city has seen a boom in recent years of tourism, bachelorette parties and people moving in. It’s also seen a ton of murals going up all over […]
Redwoods, Crater Lake & the Oregon Coast
For the final leg of our trip, we left San Francisco and headed up the 101 until cutting over to make a stop at Ft. Bragg. I had planned to swing by Point Reyes National Seashore, but the GPS wasn’t working very well and it didn’t seem like we were headed to the right place, so instead of getting lost and getting stuck somewhere remote like we did last time we were in California, I […]
Exploring San Francisco
With as much traveling as I’ve done, you’d think I would have already visited San Francisco! But it was one major U.S. city that had escaped me over the years, so when planning our Highway 1 trip, I made sure to include a couple days for exploring this beautiful northern California city. For our two night stay in the Bay Area, I booked a super cool vintage airstream! The couple that owns it lives on […]
