We ordered our save the dates from Vistaprint because they were cheap, they had a pretty design that matched our colors and they let us add a photo to personalize them. The picture of us is from 1998, when we both volunteered at Camp Arrowhead.

winter olympics

Friday, February 12th, 2010

When I was in elementary school I had a friend who did gymnastics. I was a figure skater. We believed our talents complemented each other so we made a promise that we would one day support each other in our respective Olympic games – her the summer and me the winter. The promise was amid [...]

i measure money in plane tickets

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

This weekend Mike and I played the part of a couple of suburban yuppies, wandering back and forth between Crate & Barrel and Macy’s in search for the perfect set of china to add to our wedding registry. It is difficult to build a home that does not exist. Matching the colors and styles of [...]

boston’s first travel tweetup

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Despite the fact that the essence of blogging seems to be sitting behind a computer in solitude, the essence of blogging – the thing that keeps us going – is meeting others like us. It’s in talking and relating to the people [...]

things to do in boston

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

Next weekend my friends and I will be hosting our friend Caitlin, from New York, for a local spin on our regular girls’ weekends. Despite the fact that we aren’t going to a new city, I thought it would be fun to step back and take a look at Boston from a tourist’s perspective to [...]

resolve to travel

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Maybe it’s because too much time has passed since my first post, or that I am insecure that I haven’t quite found my niche, but whenever I am asked why I decided to start a travel blog I get nervous, stutter a bit and then offer a long winded answer that mostly pertains to what I [...]
