Growing up in Westchester, New York, Connecticut was always only a hop, skip and a jump away. We could easily venture on a quick drive or short Metro North train ride to Greenwich to go to dinner or a boutique. I even interned at a media agency in Stamford for two summers in college, and … Continue reading State 17: Connecticut | Mystic
This state really is wild and wonderful. For over a year I've wanted to go to Harper's Ferry and either the weather wasn't cooperating or we always had other plans. A couple weeks ago in early March we finally decided to go. I visited West Virginia for the first time back in 2012 when I … Continue reading State 16: West Virginia | Harper’s Ferry
For my fiancé’s thirtieth birthday, I gifted him a trip to Boston. I had been a few times before when I was young, but not in my adult life.

I'm going back some years ago to document this trip. All photos were taken on my iPhone 4 so they are not of the best quality. After we graduated college, a good friend took a job in Baton Rouge. That following February, several friends and I decided to go visit him the weekend before Mardi … Continue reading State 11: Louisiana | Baton Rouge and New Orleans
Charleston was the first installment of my now yearly trips with my college roommate. The city has become such a popular destination, so we wanted to check it out. While we had an amazing time, it wasn't my favorite city I have visited, contrary to popular opinion. I like to find those "hidden gem" cities … Continue reading State 10: South Carolina | Charleston
What’s one of the best ways to catch up with friends who live in different cities? Travel together!

We stayed in Midtown, which … Continue reading State 5: Georgia | Atlanta
There was so much to do in the buckeye state that we couldn’t even fit everything in when my mom and I visited Columbus for three nights this spring.
