Just as another Boston snowstorm rolled in, I was lucky enough to escape to Miami, Florida. Although it was rainy and I was inside for meetings most of the trip, I was fortunate to savor this moment. After the rain stopped, the clouds parted and the sun came out with a surprise – this rainbow! Palm trees, warm weather, a great water view AND a rainbow? Not sure I’m ready to go back to the frozen tundra that is Boston!

Readers of this blog know just how much I adore traveling. I’m a big believer that travel is about the people, the places discovered and small moments enjoyed, so one can imagine just how many of those we had over the span of ten days from Reno, Nevada, to Tiburon, Mill Valley, San Francisco and wine country. Here I’ll share a few bits from Reno, Tiburon and Mill Valley. More on the rest of those in upcoming blog entries!
It’s rare to be in London during a proper heat wave, but that is exactly where I found myself this past July. Mid-way through the busiest summer of my life, I snuck off to London for a little R&R. From admiring the roses in Regent’s Park, to meals with friends and a little shopping, this was exactly the mid-summer break I needed. Take a look at my favorite photos from the oh-so-lovely Regent’s Park.
I love all things Keep Calm and Carry On, so you can imagine my delight upon discovering the perfect card case to carry my Charlie Card (Boston), Metro Card (NYC), or Oyster Card (London). At two pounds, I swept up this cheerfully red card case during a trip to London at a little shop in the Baker Street tube station. Wouldn’t you agree that it’s especially important to Keep Calm and Carry on while on public transit? 🙂
And, for the record, my personal Keep Calm collection also extends to a magnet and reusable sigg bottle. I also have a Keep Calm and Drink Coffee magnet for my desk at work, plus a Keep Calm and Have a Cupcake notebook for my never-ending to-do lists (thanks G & S!).
Want one too? I found my little Keep Calm and Carry On
While browsing through old photos, I stumbled upon one of my favorite snapshots of Regent’s Park in London. Snapped in May 2004 during my semester abroad in London, Regent’s Park was my favorite place to stroll, study and enjoy. It’s no surprise that it still holds a special place in my heart and is usually one of the first places I flock to during my visits back to London. Now that spring is in full bloom in Boston, I can’t help but think of my favorite park and hope a return visit is in store soon.
