For the month of May, I didn’t make my goal of taking a trip a month; it just turned out to be too busy with something scheduled almost every night and every weekend. So, instead, I decided I’d take a little trip down memory lane to hold me over until my scheduled June trip. In … Continue reading »

2012 Trip a Month–April–Coachella Day 3
Day 3 was the last day of Coachella, and to maximize my vacation I started the day off at the pool. There were no acts I wanted to see until the evening, so I took advantage and had a lazy start to the day. P.S. I give props to Coachella campers, I don’t know how … Continue reading »
2012 Trip a Month–April–Coachella Day 2
We started off day 2 with brunch for Austin’s birthday. Eggs, bacon, potatoes, tortillas, guac and salsa, mimosas, birthday cake and birthday hats! That I’m willing to show this picture on the internet signifies that I was having a good time and wanted to share the memory enough that I don’t care how I looked! The … Continue reading »
2012 Trip a Month–April–Coachella Day 1

2012 Trip a Month–March – Apache Trail
For the month of March I invoked my clause that a trip would count even if it was a day trip somewhere. After all, realistically I know a full-fledged trip may not be possible each month, and while I had hiked the Superstitions before, I had never made the full drive down the Apache Trail. … Continue reading »
2012 Trip a Month–February–New York City Day 3
So, I gave a little sneak peek into my Sunday in New York City when I wrote about brunch at Maze and Sunday Funday at the Boathouse in Central Park. Of course we did much more than that though. Sunday was essentially my last day in New York because I had a morning flight back … Continue reading »
2012 Trip a Month–February–New York City Day 2
On Saturday we got the party started with burgers in Greenwich Village and then moved on to shopping and sight-seeing. Apparently I’ve lived in Arizona for too long because I did not pack enough warm clothing. Luckily I found the most adorable wool coat at a little shop in the Village for only $50! I … Continue reading »
2012 Trip a Month – February – New York City Day 1
I can’t believe it has been three months since I was in NYC! Apparently, timely blogger is not something I can list on my resume. I’ve sat down to write this post numerous times, but with all of the pictures and moments from the trip I wanted to capture I never knew where to start. … Continue reading »
Brunch and Sunday Funday in NYC
As I lie in bed thinking about what I want for breakfast or lunch, my thoughts drift back to New York City and the delicious Sunday brunch I had while I was there. Maze by Gordon Ramsay at the London hotel was the site for our late morning/early afternoon indulgence. The lovely atmosphere combined with the mouth-watering meals … Continue reading »
2012 Trip a Month – January – Chicago
January in Chicago, was I crazy? Bring it! I grew up with the cold, so I can handle anything. Chicago O’Hare International Airport I was hoping to see the fam for the holidays, but alas, flights were outrageously expensive. Waiting another month allowed me to see my family for my first trip a month in … Continue reading »
