We went on a road trip, and now we're back! It's spring break 2015. As an "adult," I found it a little troubling to use the term "spring break" but then I though -- why not? Even adults need something to break up the monotony that exists between winter holidays and inevitable summer vacations/staycations. It … Continue reading Bing-Lex-Burg 2015!

Burnt Orange Rose Cocktails
Germany, 2013. On our way to Berlin It's been a while. It's not that I haven't been inspired by food, it's that I haven't been inspired to write about food. But now...I am.

Coconut Ginger Soup + Camping + Relay Rides + Woodland Valley Campsite
Our humble abode So I'll admit it. I had my first experience camping. Sure I went when I was younger once with the girl scouts, but as an adult--never.

Sight Seeing in Paris + Travel Tips 4&5

For example, we were walking to get a falafel today … Continue reading Sight Seeing in Paris + Travel Tips 4&5
Mita vs. the Parisian kitchen

The apartment in Paris is tiny, the shower is such that I have to you have to literally turn and slide to get in, and the kitchen makes the galley … Continue reading Mita vs. the Parisian kitchen

International Travel: Paris Edition
Since we drove into Boston, things have been pretty crazy. We had to unpack our overloaded VW, sell said VW, find an apartment, acquire said apartment, and put the finishing touches on time in Paris. We finally had a few moments to breathe, and I thought it might be nice to document our little excursion. … Continue reading International Travel: Paris Edition
Two Years
These are some of my thoughts that I've collected for the past few days, just what came out of my head: School ended for me on June 6th. It is now June 15th. We spent the past 9 days packing up our house in San Antonio, moving across the country, finding an apartment in Boston, … Continue reading Two Years

March 12th - March 16th, Spring Break 2012. Now, you may think this will be another post about a week on the beach in Galveston...but you'd only be partially correct!
