One of the main things we wanted to do when we drove from DC to California was stop and visit the Grand Canyon. Toby had never seen it, and I was in fourth grade the last time I saw it. But our moving truck arrived earlier than planned, so while we did get to drive […]
Labor Day weekend is just a few days away, and I hope you all have fun plans! AAA is predicting that nearly 35 million Americans will travel more than 50 miles from their house for the holiday — the most for Labor Day weekend since 2008. I know a ton of people hit the beach for […]
Jen’s note: Fab Fave Friday is a recurring feature in which I highlight some of my favorite things — in all sorts of categories. Today’s category is San Diego tourist attractions. In addition to being classy (obviously), San Diego is a major tourist destination. The weather here is basically perfect year-round, the beaches are gorgeous, and […]
Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that Toby and I went to Disneyland last weekend. We’re a little obsessed. We had been wanting to go for a weekend since I got back from Afghanistan, but rain […]
I didn’t really take any “outfit photos” in Afghanistan, because, well… that would have been kinda weird. I also didn’t bring any actual cute outfits. But, because this is at least partially a fashion blog, I thought I should show you at least a little of what I wore. I got some not-too-tight jeans at […]
What do you wear when you’re going on an overnight flight from warm San Diego to not-so-warm London? -> I decided to go with cashmere, black jeans and trainers (as the Brits call them). And, of course, a giant bag to carry all my stuff! I brought several books with me (I’m halfway through […]
Lest you think all we did in San Francisco was shop and drink tea (sounds like my normal day…), I wanted to share some of our other photos and activities from our trip. The first night in town, we ate dinner at Wayfare Tavern — Tyler Florence’s restaurant. We started with deviled eggs, then I […]
As I mentioned, we went to Kentucky this past weekend for Toby’s homecoming. It was actually the first time I’ve seen his alma mater — we’ve been wanting to go, but hadn’t been able to until this year, when one of his good friends was being inducted into Centre’s athletic hall of fame. I was […]
You may recall that I was in Texas for work for a good chunk of August, and I shared some of the great places I visited during my first weekend in Austin not too long ago. Although I enjoyed all the food and shopping that first weekend, I was not too excited to hang around […]
One nice thing about being in Texas for so long was that I got to visit Austin for the first time. I didn’t get to try, taste and visit everything, but I did manage to eat quite a bit of delicious food and do some fun stuff. My first stop? Round Rock Donuts. You can […]
