The lunching hour was upon us as we made our way through Rhode Island. Looking for an interesting casual spot, Budare Grille [716 Dexter St, Central Falls, RI] caught my eye. I had never tried Venezuelan cuisine before, so I was quite excited. The staff is friendly and the place […]
Savannah National Wildlife Refuge [694 Beech Hill Ln, Hardeeville, SC 29927] isn’t in Savannah, Georgia! You are still in South Carolina, but it is close enough to the Georgia border that the city of Savannah is just over ten minutes away. By the time we had made it to the […]
The only time I have ever heard the word Gullah was from a childhood show, Gullah Gullah Island. I didn’t realize it as much when I was a kid because it was just fun to watch, but the show was exposing me to a unique culture of the barrier islands […]
Birding bonanza and gators galore! A visit to Pinckney National Wildlife Refuge [1/2 miles west of Hilton Head Island off of U.S. Highway 278] is a nature lovers dream come true. Just outside of Hilton Head it is a must visit if you are in the area, and was a […]
The right music can turn your road trip from a bore to so much more! On our way from Charleston to Savannah we decided to make a stop at a really quirky roadside attraction. As we were driving there I almost thought we made a wrong turn, we were entering […]
March is probably my least favorite month in New York. Cold and snow are expected in December, January, February. By March, we’re over the hump of winter and you let your guard down when you get a few warm spring days, which are a total tease. Just when you think […]
What’s a boardwalk without an arcade? Asbury Park is home to a prized gem of an arcade that overlooks the beach, a slice of my kinda heaven in New Jersey. The Silverball Museum Arcade [1000 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, NJ 07712] is blinking bright and a little noisy, I couldn’t […]
I found myself in a dream world and just thinking about that day makes me giddy. Sculpture parks are one of my favorite places to be because I love art, especially modern art, and being able to run around like a pony in large open fields with fresh air. It’s […]
Philly is full of surprises. My mom and I went for an early morning hike, despite drizzly conditions it was remarkably warm on and pleasant at the end of December. Our destination was John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge [8601 Lindbergh Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19153] America’s first urban refuge and another […]
After traversing through the dense city center of Philadelphia I was more than happy to have stop number three be a densely treed space. Driving to the outer limits of the city showed me another side of Philadelphia, gorgeous mansions with room in between them and yards. It was hard […]
WARNING: If you have any sort of bug phobia, arachnophobia, or a distain for all things reptilian…turn back now. We are going forward, even past the point of comfort for ordinary folk. This winter my mom and I went on an overnight road trip to Philadelphia and back passing through […]
Pratt Falls County Park, Central New York Waterfalls are always worth a stop. On our way to Syracuse we pulled off to visit Pratt Falls County Park [7671 Pratt’s Falls Rd, Manlius, NY]. As you’re driving in make sure you obey the speed limit! View the trail map. There is a well […]
A stunning gem with mighty views, Chittenango Falls State Park [2300 Rathbun Rd, Cazenovia, NY 13035] was a highlight on our road trip through Central New York. This park has the highest rate of return for the smallest amount of effort! Check out the trail map, just .36 miles on the […]
