I went to Blithewold thinking it would be a quick stop. I stayed way longer than planned. This keeps happening to me and I am starting to think it is not a coincidence.

This was our second Labor Day weekend in Charlevoix and the weather gave us the exact same moody, rainy Saturday as the year before. At this point I think it is just part of the tradition.

I did not plan to spend as much time at Bass Hole Boardwalk as I did. That happens a lot with the spots I like best. Here's what I found on a moody July day in Yarmouth Port.

Whale watching off the Massachusetts coast is one of those New England experiences that hits all the right notes: peaceful, exciting, and awe-inducing. It’s equal parts boat ride and brush with the wild. The ocean doesn’t disappoint.

Growing up near Brownsville, the Port Isabel Lighthouse was just there. Part of the landscape. Something you passed on the way to South Padre Island without really stopping. It took moving to Boston to make me actually go inside.

Some places just have you. South Padre Island has had me since I was a kid. I got married there. Returning in June 2024 with a camera felt like coming home all over again.

I booked the Save the Bay Seal Watch Tour thinking it would be a fun afternoon. I did not expect it to end up being one of my favorite things I have done in Rhode Island.

Most people drive right past Flume Cascade without realizing it is there. That is exactly what makes it worth stopping for.

The weather was not cooperating. Cloudy, foggy, light drizzle coming and going. I got out of the car anyway. Silver Cascade in Harts Location, NH is worth it every time.
