While I had some time waiting for Ariana’s Girl Scout Meeting to finish, I decided to go over to the Town Beach and film some of the sights and waves as I walked along the shore. I was so excited because I thought I had a great quality video to upload, but when I got home found out the ‘super steady’ setting downscales the resolution a lot, so the video doesn’t look that great. Now that I know, I might go back another day and film this again, or just try filming some of the other local beaches. You can…

When we visited Pisa in Italy we made it just in time for an on and off rainstorm. We had to take shelter in a cute little cafe, but we were able to walk around the buildings for a little while first and get some great shots of the stormy sky.

A few years ago I was in D.C. on vacation with my mother and sister, and even though it was a warm early fall evening, they still had twinkle lights up on some of the trees. It was so lovely to see this whimsical touch against the weighty and important stone buildings and monuments – even politicians must love the contrast.

Rustic, old country barn, a little eerie, during an evening walk on a cool summer evening. What little kid could resist sneaking a peek into one of those dark windows, secretly hoping and fearing something ghoulish and exciting might be lurking inside… (He wasn’t snatched by ghosts, we had a leisurely walk back to his great-grandmother’s house)

An exotic and beautiful vista to eat an open-air breakfast from during my stay in Phuket, Thailand. This villa was situated in the hills that encircle Patong Beach, which you can see far below.

Here’s a new twist on Thursday Travels – I’m actually in the picture doing the travelling. This was in Mexico during my first ever cruise vacation, and it was amazing! I loved everything about the trip, but Tulum was my ultimate favorite destination, and probably the most beautiful beach destination, ever. The Mayan Riviera is extremely gorgeous, but in all my beach stops I’d have to say Tulum had the most beautiful, amazing water I have ever seen. I wanted to run down the cliffs and jump in SO badly, I have never wanted to swim anywhere so much! Alas,…

I was reading through the Fotbalfrue’s recap of her year and this one picture just sent me off to dreamland. I am recreating this moment over the summer – delicious cold salads, fresh seafood, tapas, a glass of Moscato and a poolside looking out over the ocean. Followed of course by running around on the beach, going for a swim, sunbathing, and more delicious food and wine again later. Aside from the fact that I can’t indulge in any of that while I’m pregnant, I would love to just go now when it’s freezing here. So instead why not go…

Sunset over Aphrodite’s Rock on a warm Cyprus evening. Legend has it that this is the first place Aphrodite set foot on the earth and stepped into the world.

My sister rifles through her pack while a wild cat waits hopefully for a snack, at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. The Greek temple is now in ruins, but the views from the former mountain sanctuary of the Oracles are still breathtaking and inspiring.

It seems in Phuket, Thailand every single afternoon was warm and sunny, perfect for dipping in the pool and then washing off in this outdoor garden shower after.
