Travel Tidbit #5
How do you celebrate spring? To me, March is all things maple so I recently paid a visit to Uihlein Sugar Maple Field Station in Lake Placid, NY to see how this year’s North Country sugaring season is going. Very well, according to Adam, our knowledgeable and...

Travel Tidbit #4
Mid-March means mud, wind, and wintery mixes. If you’re like me and craving signs of spring, check out your local botanical garden. Lamberton Conservatory, located in Highland Park, aka home of the Lilac Festival, is mine. Established in 1911, it’s a place I’ve...

Travel Tidbit #3
Women’s History Month is the perfect time to visit Seneca Falls, NY. There’s a lot of history to get in touch with there so wear comfortable shoes and bring your camera! The 2023 National Women’s History theme is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories”, so I’d...

Travel Tidbit #2
The Finger Lakes region is ideal for all levels of cyclists; Speedo-encased racers, families, or leisurely pedaling people. Given my propensity to enjoy the journey as much as arriving at a destination (eventually!) I’m a huge fan of rail trails, the wide public paths...

Sipping, Shopping, and Soaking in Saratoga Springs
To me, nothing signifies the holiday season like a girls’ getaway weekend in this scenic upstate town only a short drive New York City, Boston, and Montreal. For years, armed with posse of girlfriends, a wallet full of credit cards, and a cooler of our favorite...

Rambling Around Roanoke
The Conventional Towering 1,045 feet above the city, at night the Roanoke Star can be seen from sixty miles away, a welcoming beacon to us road-weary travelers. Early the next morning we headed over to Mill Mountain to check out this symbol of Roanoke’s progressive...

A Few of My Favorite Things
Happy Thanksgiving all! Once we’ve eaten our turkey, expressed our gratitude, and watched football or played board games, it will be time to think about the final round of 2022 celebrations. Honestly? I have no idea what the December holidays will be like this year....

Roundup: More New Mexico Fun!
E-bike tour First time on an E-bike and believe me, I was grateful for that booster lever when I saw some of the hills! The tour company, Heritage Inspirations Tours, was easy to book my tour with and the other couple, Nick and Jane from Houston, Texas were lots of...
