Travels & Photos
Information on our trips and photographs I love to take
Wordless Wednesday – Baby Orca
Corny, I know…. but for Halloween…Bubba was a Baby Orca… just because he is sort of a baby whale (he can definitely feel like one when he’s sleeping on me at night)!! He does look kinda amused with me, right? I definitely doctored up his fin in photoshop in case you’re wondering. It was actually […] Read more…
Virginia City – Ghost Town #2
Because it’s my favorite month – I’d like to write about another ghost town we visited on our last road trip. After stopping in Bodie, California we made our way to Virginia City, Nevada. Virginia City sits at an elevation of 6,220 and, like Bodie, is also an old mining town. In addition to gold […] Read more…

Cathedral Rock in Sedona Arizona
Pops and I are still out and about on our latest road trip. Though I’ll have a bigger post on Sedona coming, I wanted to share this photo of Cathedral Rock. The colors in Sedona are unlike any I’ve seen anywhere else. The reds in the rocks are so bright especially against the bright blue […] Read more…
Bodie – Wild West Ghost Town
After our recent trip to Yosemite, and on our way up to visit friends in Reno, Pops and I stopped in the ghost town Bodie. I have wanted to visit Bodie for years. Not just because it’s said to be a ghost town, but also because I saw some amazing photographs of the town taken […] Read more…
Wordless Wednesday – Club Boys
This past weekend, before Fall finally hit here, we took Hunter & Westly for a end of summer swim at our club. Here are my precious boys taking an “animal cracker” snack break. Read more…
Monkeying Around
As I was browsing through Westly photos the other day, when writing his birthday post, I came across this photo I took at the San Francisco Zoo. We went there for the day just a little bit after Westly was born. This guy really put on a show for everyone – he was definitely the […] Read more…
The Great Reno Balloon Race
During our last road trip, Pops and I stopped in Reno to visit our friends Dwight & Erika. We lucked out because while we were there The Great Reno Balloon Race was happening. This is the largest free hot air ballooning event in the Nation. It lasts for 3 days in early September. The event […] Read more…
Morning Ranch Hike
The scenery at the Ranch is just beautiful so, I wanted to share some photos from our last trip down there. Here’s some pics form the morning hike I took with Pops and Bubba(loooooo) up one of the canyons. Hope you enjoyed the pretty scenery and that your morning and day are going just as […] Read more…
Visiting the Tufas at Mono Lake
On our road trip last week, after Yosemite, one of our stops was Mono Lake. This lake was believed to have formed at least 760,000 years ago. To me, one of the best parts of visiting Mono Lake was seeing the Tufas (calcium-carbonate spires and knobs formed by interaction of freshwater springs and alkaline lake […] Read more…
Yosemite – September 2010
As always, Yosemite is gorgeous right now. I’m pretty sure this is always a stunning place to visit. I’ve been lucky enough to visit three times in the last year. I could never get tired of going. You really feel connected with nature in the park. Everywhere you look, you’re constantly reminded of the beauty […] Read more…
We Are Dreamgirls!
The other night I went with my friends, Leilani and Christine, to see the “Dreamgirls” musical in San Francisco. I’m going to admit, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the movie. Don’t get me wrong, the singing was fabulous and Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce were AMAZING, but my two friends, well, they were IN to […] Read more…
Bloggy Boot Camp San Francisco
I’m so very excited to be going to Bloggy Boot Camp in San Francisco this Saturday!! It’s my first ever blogging convention – yahoo!!! It’s going to be at the Westin St. Francis which is such a beautiful hotel. Here’s a little pic of the dining room: I lived in SF a long time ago […] Read more…
Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL)
Summertime Fun! Recently, I wrote a post about how baseball is my favorite sport to watch on television and in person. This post explains why the topic even entered my silly little brain. This summer, during my trip back to Massachusetts (for my cousin Kim’s wedding) my mom, nephew Ty and myself went out to […] Read more…
Heading to Southbridge
This week, actually tomorrow, I’m flying from SFO to Boston to head back to the town I lived in from ages 1 to 13. Southbridge, Massachusetts It’s the town where both my parents, their parents and most of my first cousins were born – and raised for that matter. I’m heading back for the wedding […] Read more…
Day at the Ranch
No, this isn’t the type of “Ranch” you’re thinking of. Though this one is a working ranch with cattle, etc. it’s also a wonderful beach getaway spot. It’s located along the central coast of California. When you arrive, the gorgeous scenery makes you feel like you’re going back in time. We’re fortunate to have friends […] Read more…
Cannes Photos
I finally got a pretty good group of photos up for all of you who have been waiting. I wasn’t sure what was the best way to display them and of course my mac proved to have the answer for me. Click here to be taken to the main gallery page from which you can […] Read more…
Cannes Re-Hash
I actually am not completely recovered yet from the trip and all the days traveling. In case you’ve had trouble finding out how our trip went, here are some links to re-hash what I’ve posted so far. I have many, many more photos to post and tons of stories to share as soon as I […] Read more…
Cannes Day 6
We thought yesterday was going to be a “museum” day in Nice as it was raining in the morning. We all headed to the train station, bought our tickets and proceeded to tour a castle and gardens near the station while we waited for our train. The garden was amazing and as we roamed through […] Read more…
Cannes Day 5
Yesterday was a more “normal” vacation day – as normal as you can be on the French Riviera. Sam and Nia had midday business in Cannes and then a cocktail party to go to. The rest of us decided we were ready to see more of this beautiful area instead of heading back into Cannes. […] Read more…
Cannes – Day 4
Today was our first semi-relaxing day. It was so nice as we’re all pretty exhausted. Sam and Nia had to go In to town this afternoon to do a couple of hours of press. We met them there when they were finished so we could walk around and visit the castle. Unfortunately, the castle and […] Read more…
Cannes – Day 3
Am I dreaming? If I am, don’t wake me. Yesterday, we headed to the yacht for lunch and a relaxing afternoon. The yacht is owned by the man who financed Sam’s movie, Bill Price. Bill couldn’t be here because his wife is about to have a baby, so he sent his yacht for us to […] Read more…
Beloved Free Baba Jimi in Cannes
The last 2 days, I’ve seen opulence I barely knew existed. Each afternoon, as we were picked up by our yacht tender, which takes us out to our yacht worth $7 million with a maintenance budget of $700,000 yearly, I saw much bigger yachts worth a lot more. Some of the owners were paying $50,000 […] Read more…
