Tuesday Takes: Gingerbread Houses on MV

March 30, 2021 by Patti 3 Comments

The gingerbread houses of Martha’s Vineyard are iconic. Each time we visit we take a relaxing stroll through the cluster of 300+ utterly charming and individually unique houses. We always discover something new.

Norooz, The Persian New Year

March 21, 2021 by Patti 10 Comments

 UPDATE:  March 20, 2021

In March of 2015 we were in Iran celebrating Norooz, the Persian New Year, with our BIG extended family. It was my first trip to Iran and it was quite the exciting experience to see the whole country come together in celebration of spring and the new year. It is the #1 celebration in the lives of the Persian people.  In honor of the new year, we are dusting off this post and sharing it in celebration.  Norooz Mobaarak – 1400!

Washington, DC: National Monuments & Memorials

March 15, 2021 by Patti 2 Comments

There are 129 national monuments and it may come as a surprise that many of them are not in Washington, DC. Some are places or landscapes, in other parts of the country, rather than constructed monuments. Wouldn’t that be the ultimate treasure hunt to find all 129 national monuments?

I Have a Thing About Taking Pictures of Signs

February 19, 2021 by Patti 7 Comments

I have a thing about taking pictures of signs. Signs such as the classic neon you’ll find along Route 66, to directional signs, to funny signs and everything in between.

Tuesday Takes: Putting the Fun in Funicular

February 2, 2021 by Patti 8 Comments

Putting the fun in funicular. The word fun is embedded in the word funicular for a reason, I like to think. I don’t know who coined the term funicular but I like to believe it was a play on words. Funiculars are indeed fun and the opportunity to ride in one should never be missed. At least we think so.

Great Falls National Park: Virginia -vs- Maryland

January 25, 2021 by Patti 4 Comments

Virginia -vs- Maryland. I don’t really know how often one can stand on either side of a river and be in a different state, but that’s the story of Great Falls National Park and the Potomac River.

Maryland Roads: C&O Canal & Billy Goat Trail

December 12, 2020 by Patti 2 Comments

It was a day to go outside. The C&O Canal in the Carderock Recreation Area was the destination. Turns out, we also discovered the Billy Goat Trail along the Potomac River. As much as I love winter and long for a beautiful peaceful snowfall, we embraced the warm December day and headed out on the backroads of Maryland.

Dancing Fountains & The Music of the Beatles

October 14, 2020 by Patti 6 Comments

There are a few places in this life that beckon us back again and again. Longwood Gardens is one of those places. And, when the fountains are dancing to the music of the Beatles, I’m not sure it gets any better.

Our Favorite Good Eats in Porto

October 2, 2020 by Patti 6 Comments

Before we talk about Good Eats in Porto, let’s talk about how this year known as 2020, a.k.a. the year from hell, has kept the world sheltering in place. And, while so many countries are now breaking out and starting to move again, the US, is still tied down. Actually, we can travel to Portugal because we maintain our Portuguese residency, but neither one of us has the inclination to take on an international flight.

Travel Shaming: Is it a Thing?

September 9, 2020 by Patti 10 Comments

Travel shaming, is it a thing? Is it a natural emotion born out of … out of what? Envy, economics, frustrations, illness, sadness, manipulations, where did it come from?
