Thursday: Head in the Clouds

Today I can't keep my mind off of traveling. Although this is a very common theme with me, today it is particularly strong. My friend, Kati and I are brainstorming about the idea of taking a trip to Greece and Turkey this fall and I can already feel that urge for adventure running through my veins. I have been looking at flights, and browsing sites online about hotels and restaurants. I have heard amazing things about both countries. Have any of you ever been to either of these countries? Any good advice? My head is in the clouds today when I really should be focusing on the here and now. Help!:)

Weekend get away: Carolina on my mind

A few weeks ago I went to visit my sister, Betsy, and her family in Asheville, North Carolina. It was the perfect weekend get away! The Autumn colors were at their peek and the weather couldn't not have been better. We hiked, carved pumpkins, went out for dinner and drinks in Asheville, and played with twins. While we were out and about in downtown we stopped by a  cozy dessert/coffee shop called 

The French Broad Chocolate Lounge.  

I could not say enough good things about this charming spot.  From the cakes in the display case, to the carefully decorated truffles, it was all amazing! The drink options were impressive as well. Any place to grace a coffee drink with the name "The Jitterbug" has got something good going on. They had so many delectable treats on display it was difficult to just pick one. Here are a few pictures below. Enjoy!

Travel Wish: Maine

A few months ago I had the opportunity to travel to Maine. One word: amazing! If you haven't had the chance to venture that far up North, I highly recommend you begin browsing for flights. I visited in the later part of the Summer and the weather was perfect. 

The temperature never went above 73 degrees. The landscape was lush and green and the water off the coast was calm and peaceful. In the evenings I slept with the windows open and awoke to a refreshing breeze every morning. The architecture, food (I'm now obsessed with Lobster stew), people and scenery were all wonderful. Below are a few shots from my travels. Enjoy!
