City girl. Traveling soul. Always hungry.
It’s been an extraordinarily long time since I’ve posted a blog, and I feel a bit of a void because of it. I am sitting here 8 ½ months pregnant, and you’d think that was the main reason for my dry spell. We traveled a lot this year – Quebec City over New Year’s Eve,... Continue Reading →
My wife is a huge fan of the Sound of Music. You may have guessed where this is heading. If you’re familiar with the movie, you’ll know that it’s based out of Salzburg and much of the filming took place there.

But a lot of terrible things have transpired since I stepped off the airplane and arrived home, and... Continue Reading →
The next day, we chose to take a day trip with my family to a little town called Winchester, which is about an hour from London by train.
