While I may spend a fair amount of time in NYC, most of it is centered around Broadway plays, shopping on 5th Avenue, seeing a special exhibit at a museum, or attending lectures at the 92 Street Y. I rarely spend more than a day in the city. But that is starting to change after my recent 2 days in Tribeca. We have lived in…

After all, there really are only so many cathedrals and European capital cities you can see before you wonder what else is out there. If this describes you, you’re not alone and it may be time to think of cool ways to learn…

Washington, DC happens to be one of my favorite cities in the world. I love that there is something new to explore in town every time I visit, like cherry blossoms. With many people probably visiting to see the trees in full bloom, I though I’d share an idea I had on a recent trip. Since I spent most of my time exploring art galleries,…

We are so fortunate to live in the New York City area. The only problem is when you have to go down 5 days a week for work, like my husband did, the last thing you want to do is go back down on the weekend. Hence, the spouse doesn’t spend as much time in NYC as they’d like. But all that changed when he retired…

Sitka Alaska is a fabulous town. But I have to confess, we were not expecting much. Like most people who visit, we were there to get on a cruise. Yes, we were one of those people waiting to board a cruise. But our boat was a bit different. We were boarding the Mist Cove with the Boat Company, a twelve cabin ship. We were not on…

If you are headed to Boulder Colorado and looking for a luxury hotel, there really aren’t a lot of options especially if you want to stay downtown. The two choices are Hotel Boulderado and St. Julien Hotel and Spa. We chose the St. Julien Hotel and Spa for a recent stay based on friend’s recommendation and overall, we were quite pleased.

I’ve always wanted to go to Boulder Colorado, but it took my husband doing an Ironman race for me to get there. We stayed right downtown just a block from the famous Pearl Street Mall. That meant it was easy walking to shops and restaurants and there are many. That said, it’s also an easy town to get around in driving wise. We happened upon…

Everywhere we travel as a triathlon family means we must have three things… A bike to ride. A pool for laps or open water. A long distance treadmill or safe area to run outside. Now these items, of course, are for the triathlete. But what about the family? Isn’t the most important point of a vacation the happiness of the whole family? Traveling with a…

It was my first visit to Raleigh, but it was immediately obvious what a young, vibrant city it is. So many neighborhoods have or are currently undoing gentrification. As a result, there are restaurants everywhere. One street, Glenwood Avenue, was literally blocks of one restaurant after another. That said, we do have a few favorites worth sharing. If you are visiting from out of town,…

Well, what a pleasant surprise to find a clean, young, and vibrant city filled with gentrified areas, tons of restaurants, and culture to spare. And I also found there was no…
