Here is a little peek into how we plan our trips. There are many different ways this occurs, and it is always changing based on the type of trip we are planning. The Hook Sometimes it is a bucket-list item (like Peru and Machu Picchu ) or a romantic getaway (like an all-inclusive resort ), and other times it is for a specific event that we build a trip around. Such was the case in our most recent trip to NYC. Spencer is a very talented pianist , and his current favorite is an

The beautiful Inner Harbor in Baltimore. I think Baltimore is my favorite place I have ever lived. There is always something amazing going on. We recently stayed home for a full week (we normally travel during Spencer's off weeks) so I packed it full of fun, local activities. Date One Such a wonderful museum. We didn't plan enough time to see all of the treasures, we will be back. First up we went to the Baltimore Museum of Art . We were fortunate to get tickets to see Amy Sh

But those early Disney impressions remain indelible. So I was especially happy and exci

Caesar in the AC When we lived in Arizona, we would visit Las Vegas 2-3 times per year. It is a bit far from Baltimore to do that, so we are looking for another venue to scratch our fancy food/gambling/fun itches. On the boardwalk We went in December. It was cold, cold, cold! There weren't many people and many of the shops and restaurants were closed. We still enjoyed holding hands and taking in the sights. We enjoyed lots of beautiful Christmas decorations. This was the most

Statue of Liberty New York City is one of those places. Everyone in the world knows it. Everyone who visits can make it their own. For a twelve-year-old boy, NYC could do no wrong. I was fortunate to have a mother and uncle who adored the theater, appreciated the museums and loved the big city vibe. They brought me along, almost every springtime, for several years into adulthood. What better way to learn about culture and the world at large? How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
