  • Viva Las Vegas 2025

    Viva Las Vegas 2025

    So I went to Las Vegas again. For the third time in 2 years. “Kate, you must really love Las Vegas!” Truly, I do not, but one of my dear friends was celebrating her 40th birthday and I’m always in for an adventure. So, I packed my bags and headed to the desert. On this…

  • Sweet St. Lucia

    Sweet St. Lucia

    Y’all, I just turned 40. To soften the blow, I decided to spend my birthday on the beautiful island of St. Lucia. For some reason, St. Lucia has been calling to me for years. And conveniently for those of us with birthdays during hurricane season, it is rarely seriously affected by storms, thanks to its…

    F* Me Up, Florida

    For our anniversary this year, Husband and I decided to go down to Florida for some sun and Spring Training (can you guess which one of us wants the sun and which wants the baseball??). Honestly though, as long as I get a ballpark hotdog, I’m happy to go to a baseball game. Team Relish…

  • 36 Hours in Annapolis, Maryland

    Situated on several large tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay, Annapolis is the capital of Maryland. There is water, water everywhere, and, fortunately, also lots to drink. But I’ll get to that in a bit. Annapolis is a quaint, historic city with lots of heart and personality, perfect for a long weekend with the family, a…

    Triumphant Return to New York City

    Hi, hello, I’d like to tell you about the long weekend I had in New York over President’s Day. I used to go up to the city at least once a year pre- pandemmy, but life got busy and I hadn’t been back in probably 5 years. When a friend’s sister offered to host a…

    So big news. I’m sure it shocks you all (as readers of my travel blog) to know that I am an avid traveler, travel planner, and travel daydreamer. For years, I’ve had friends, family, and co-workers coming to me asking for recommendations and help planning trips. Recently, I learned about the opportunity to become a…

  • You Betcha We Loved Minneapolis

    You Betcha We Loved Minneapolis

    This past weekend, Husband and I took a little jaunt out to the Midwest. Ostensibly, we were there to watch the Orioles play the Twins in the last series of the season. But I love a good adventure (and an opportunity to scratch a new state off of my scratch map), so I was on…

    A Big Easy Anniversary: New Orleans

    A few weeks ago, Husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary. Husband decided many months ago that he wanted to plan a trip for us to a surprise (to me) destination. He booked the plane tickets, hotel, and some activities before revealing our destination in a Google Slides presentation. Ladies, if he wants to,…
