A great blend in Charleston, South Carolina

Hello HITW friends, Earlier this summer we had a great opportunity to trip over to Charleston, South Carolina, and I was completely taken with the variety of experiences, enjoying the people-watching (so to speak) and the fabulous food amongst other things!  From the natural elements of the city to the mix of Revolutionary War era architecture, […]

Trekking Across the Great State of…Alaska! Really?

One of our favorite states to visit was far and away, Alaska! The people were tremendously friendly, very congenial to be around, and were willing to share the fun little factoids about their state. We did some things right on that trip, and we did some things wrong though. We’d love to go back soon […]

Feed me DC, in a new way? Yes Please!

One of my favorite cities to visit under normal circumstances is Washington D.C.. Between the historical aspects, family pieces, outdoor opportunities, major sports, I have struggled with finding something not to like about the northern Virginia, Beltway, Maryland area as a place to visit…and great food to boot!  I think it’s really easy to fall into a […]
