Monday my sister Morgan flew into Greenville and had to be picked up. So my mom and I went on an adventure. First stop. The Enchanted Forest. When we still owned our cabin in the area, we called this hike the Enchanted Forest. It is actually known as Glen Falls but if you have been … More Day 225: The Enchanted Forest
Ford every stream Follow every rainbow Till you find your dream… Oh Sound of Music. You speak to my soul. Remember that time I went to Salzburg and did the Sound of Music tour? Yeah that was pretty fantastic. Well I had another epic mountain adventure on Sunday. This time I was all by myself. … More Day 224: Climb Every Mountain… Twice
Severe exhaustion has crept in. Safe to say that my (not so) little Florida body is not used to hiking up trails four days straight. But it is a welcome feeling of accomplishment and freedom. I have never felt so alive. The hiking extravaganza started bright and early Saturday morning with the one and only … More Day 223: Friends in High Places
So I can barely walk. But I can totally hike. It’s a gift. But really my legs are so sore. It hurts. All the time. That’s what 3 days of hiking up a mountain will do to ya. But once my feet hit the trail, my legs feel light and they propel me up and … More Day 222: A little more country than club
It’s done. It’s over. Kaput. The search is over. I found the best sandwich in the world. Not even kidding. At Yellow Dog Eats Cafe in Windermere, Florida. They are genius I tell you. Meet the Holy Crap Sandwich: Source Honey mesquite turkey with avocado, bacon, goat cheese, red onions and basil mayo on toasted … More Day 217: The Search Is Over
Orlando is such a strange city. Actually most Florida towns/cities/whatever you want to call them are a little strange. And by that I mean they are extremely contradictory. A bright and shiny wonderland for kids (and adults for sure) plopped down on a humid and wild land. The landscape screams country between the ever-expanding housing … More Day 216: Ticky Tacky Mansions and Heat Exhaustion
Happy Monday!! Hopefully everybody had a fantastic weekend and are ready to take on the week! I had a great weekend in Orlando with one of my best friends despite my initial reservations about traveling for such a short amount of time. In the end, I was able to get my stuff together and just … More Day 215: To Orlando With Love
Two weekends ago I was with my family in Boston for Taylor’s graduation. It was a gloriously exhausting vacation as graduations tend to be. There is a lot of walking, a lot of sitting, and a whole lot of family time. Family vacations are tough. Everybody is tired and cranky, emotions run high, and nobody … More Boston: JFK Museum and a Reunion
Why stare at your feet when you can look up to the sky? Like any earth-bound creature I wish I could fly. Soar above the rooftops like a bird. Boundless. Preferably headed to China.
College graduation. A time of celebration and reflection. A time to remember the past and embrace the future. A time to gather and reward your accomplishments while anticipating greatness to come. Attending my sister’s graduation was hard. It reminded me of my own college graduation two years ago. My life was drastically different. But I … More Day 141: A Sea of Black, Gold, and Maroon
