Nantucket, MA

A few weekends ago I took a short trip to Nantucket with some friends – it was a super quick trip, but a super fun one!

Charleston, SC

Next stop on my road trip was beautiful Charleston, SC. It was even more stunning than I could have imagined and the rain didn’t follow me there, so that was a plus too!

First stop was of course the pineapple fountain – yes they have a pineapple fountain!! It’s along the Charleston Waterfront Park, which is a beautiful place for a walk. Actually the whole town was – the trees, the houses, the streets – just gorgeous!

Charlotte, NC

Hi everybody! I recently returned from a wonderful road trip with mostly just me, myself, and I. It was honestly an awesome experience and it was great to see so many friends/family along the way as well! If you have never traveled by yourself, I definitely recommend – it was a very enlightening experience.

I can’t wait to share this trip with you, so without further ado here is the first stop:  Charlotte, NC.

Touring Italy: the Sorrentine Coast

Hello fellow foodies! So, my family and I took a trip to Italy last night. Not literally, although I wish we would have, but the food was just as good. We went to Caputo Brothers Creamery for one of their “Touring Italy” dinners. It was our first time going, but we will definitely be back – delicious food, great wine, and even better company – what more could you want!

Downtown Market – Grand Rapids, MI

Happy Sunday everybody 🙂 This post is a little late…but better late than never right?!?! Earlier this month, I checked another 50 by 50 state off of my bucket list – Michigan. We went to the Grand Rapids Downtown Market. I have been there a few times before over the years and I have to say it just gets bigger and better every time. The location and layout are just perfect!

Broad Street Market – Harrisburg

Happy Saturday everybody and more importantly – happy Small Business Saturday! I spent the morning shopping at some of my favorite small businesses in the Harrisburg area, including one of my absolute favorite places and my PA stop on my “50 by 50” tour, the Broad Street Market. And it has just gotten bigger and better in recent years 🙂 Check them out on Instagram to follow all of their happenings!

InsaneInflatable 5K

Tried something this weekend that I never have before…the InsaneInflatable 5K! It was an absolute blast and I am so glad that I signed up. It was actually a lot harder than I thought that it was going to be, climbing and sliding all over the place! haha

Italian Farmer’s Market – Cortona

This weekend I went to my favorite market in Harrisburg and as I was strolling around I was thinking about my time in Italy and one of my absolute favorite days there! Of course all of my Italy days were some of my most favorite ever, but this one particular day is definitely up there in the books!

Todi – Perugia – Arezzo – Siena

Hello everyone! So, I was on a foodie bus trip to NYC last weekend (yes it was just as amazing as it sounds!) and as I was walking around Eataly I realized that I really needed to catch up on my Italy posts for you guys! So, here you go:  “Italian cities blog tour part II!”

Italy – Titignano

Happy Labor Day everyone (I just love days off, don’t you?!?). I am excited to share with you the first part of my Italian getaway:  Titignano! It is a beautiful castle near Orvieto with gorgeous views that of course include vineyards!
