Crazy fun area in the park at the base of the Space Needle!
photo friday: hike inn
I’ve posted a few photos (sunrise at hike inn and foggy woods) from my trip to the Hike Inn but here a few more. A five-mile hike up, possible but a bit strenuous at times. A simple room and simple meals. A gorgeous sunrise. My time there was far too short.

I don’t know when I’ll get back to Arabia. Now that the summer is here, I can’t imagine going outside for more time than is absolutely necessary. Perhaps in September it will be cool enough once again….
home away from home.
On our latest trip to NYC, Camille and I stayed in a nice brownstone apartment in Brooklyn. Staying in an apartment when we travel always makes us feel at home. We find our bagel place, our grocery store, our metro stop, and other local “favorites”. After only one day, we are “home”. We adjust to

Thoroghfares, back alleys. Trolley lines and train tracks. Public art. Everywhere we looked, there was something interesting to see in Memphis!
sunrise at hike inn.
Hard as it might be to get up early the day after a strenuous hike, missing the sunrise at Hike Inn is not an option. Even with the clouds, the sky is magical.
photo friday: graceland
How can you not go to Graceland while in Memphis? I’m not really a fan of Elvis, but Graceland seems like a place everyone should visit at least once in their lives. A house frozen in time. Wacky and Wild. Unfortunately, the Rock & Roll Cafe was sold out of the toasted peanut butter and
summer travels.
Summer. The time for our big family trips. We’ve made some memories on our travels – camping in Evie on the Out West trip. Living in Galway for three weeks on the Irish summer. Turkey, Japan, St. John, Cape Cod, and more. Unless by some miracle the stars align next summer and we finally get
photo friday: bass pro shop in memphis
As I prepared for my weekend trip to Memphis, I quickly looked up the top attractions. While I don’t generally like the “top attractions”, I often will look them up while learning about a new city. Quite a surprise to find that the Bass Pro Shop in Memphis is on all the lists! Is Memphis
photo friday: beale street
While in Memphis, Beale Street is an obvious place to visit. We arrived just as police were closing the street, which made for some nice photo opportunities….
photo friday: carolina colleges
Back in February, Camille and I continued her college search by visiting four schools in North Carolina and South Carolina. The trip was rife with challenges from the start, and the snow and ice didn’t help. Snowed out of this. Snowed out of that. Delays and cancellations. Ice covered roads. Slips and falls. But we
happiness project monthly breakdown: travels (oct)
October is the “Travels” month in my Happiness Project. In 2014 and 2015, I worked on updating my 101 things list which mostly revolves around travel ideas. While we have had some fun trips over the past couple of years, I really want to get out more, even if it is solo trips that I
arabia again.
A cool morning. Ahead at work. A holiday in France. Time to not only go to Arabia, but explore a new trail without worrying about how long we’d be out. Phelix and I managed to make wrong turns a few times and lost the trail, but we backtracked and found it again. The problem with
photo friday: coney island
If I can make it happen, I try to get out to Coney Island on every trip to the city. A nice train ride down to the beach. Unfortunately, our past two trips have been in November and January — not a great time to go to the beach! Our next trip will be in
around atlanta: phelix’s glade
With a break in the hot weather, Phelix and I were able to get back to Arabia for two more hikes before summer hits back again. Phelix loves his glade; he splashes in the water and chases sticks and is in his happy place.
photo friday: snow in the city
I love fresh snow in the city! So magical….
photo friday: the high line
Back in 2012, Camille and I explored the High Line for the first time. Since that time, the walk has been extended, and I have been eager to get back. Finally I was able to explore it on our trip in January. I always enjoy a good walk!

We went for a walk in Memphis.
photo friday: florida beaches
While in Florida over Christmas break, the girls and I had the chance to visit two beaches, Casey Key and Casperson Beach. I much preferred Casey Key! But either way, we got to go to the beach!
photo friday: canal saint-martin
Thereโs nothing that I love to do more when in Paris than walk, especially if I am there on my own. I could walk and walk. Sometimes I enjoy visiting a museum or a monument, but mostly I prefer to just walk. The sights, the sounds, the smells. The people watching. I woke early, but
