Simply put, it is awesome. The top 5 reasons you should consider visiting this beautiful park, sans-children: 1. It’s beautiful. No, really it is. Growing up [...]

Richmond, VA: 48 Hours in the Southern Capital

By on July 17, 2012 in Destinations, U.S.A.

It was ridiculous. We had lived in the D.C. area for over eight years, yet we had never visited the Southern Capital just to our south (more on why in a minute). A long holiday weekend, coupled with a good hotel deal, created the perfect excuse to escape D.C. & finally learn more about our neighbors to [...]

Hotel Review: Lansdowne Resort; Leesburg, Virginia

By on February 14, 2012 in Destinations, Hotel Review, U.S.A.

Last year, I wrote about this little (random) golf resort in Leesburg, Virginia (just past Dulles Airport), but neglected to take any photos. Good thing we went back this year! Thanks to a LivingSocial deal, we spent last weekend enjoying a pre-Valentine’s Day weekend at the resort, getting massages & hunkering down from the random [...]

Washington, D.C.: fancy pants dining in Old Town Alexandria

By on January 26, 2012 in Destinations, Restaurant Review, U.S.A.

One of my favorite things about living in the Old Town area of Alexandria (located about nine miles south of D.C. in Virginia) is the great number of restaurants. Fancy places. Less fancy places. Not fancy at all places. Today, I thought I’d share with you some of our favorite fine dining places. The kind [...]

Richmond, VA: Hollywood Cemetery

By on August 2, 2011 in Destinations, U.S.A.

At best, I normally skim through the tourist information guides which are found in most hotel rooms. However, without anything else to read during our trip to Richmond, I actually read the guide a bit more closely, & boy am I glad I did. Somehow, in all my research to plan our trip, I had [...]

Richmond, VA: Cathedral of the Scared Heart

By on July 28, 2011 in Destinations, U.S.A.

When traveling, my husband loves to make me walk long distances to visit Cathedrals. Not to attend Mass,  but merely to stick our heads in & say “nice.” Example: the time he made me walk across a highway overpass & up several large hills in Seattle to get to their not-at-all-centrally-located-but-extremely-gorgeous-Cathedral. While I might complain [...]
