Ah, Boston in January. Here’s a quick snapshot that I captured recently while on a snowy walk home. Doesn’t the Back Bay look beautiful and serene in the snow? Now, if only I actually enjoyed the wintery weather!
As the famous Ferris Bueller’s Day Off movie quote goes, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Despite always being on the go, I think I did a pretty good job carving out time for amazing food, time with friends, plus other adventures and experiences in 2012. From playing tourist in my hometown, to channeling my inner Martha Stewart, to personal and professional travels, here are 12 photos which celebrate 2012 and a little background behind them.
After whirlwind trips to Paris and London, I came home to properly celebrate my 30th birthday. A 30th birthday comes but once in a lifetime and I couldn’t have been happier to celebrate with friends and family. And, in the true spirit of such an occasion, the celebrating actually started over Thanksgiving and continued on until December 17, my actual birthday. From champagne, to cake, s’mores, thoughtful presents and cards, I’m grateful for all of the amazing people I have in my life. Here are a few snapshots from the occasion.
Paris may have festive lights and markets, but London also offers plenty of holiday cheer for travelers during Christmastime. From Christmas trees in most of the major attractions, to outdoor skating rinks and floors dedicated to holiday decor at prominent shops, I was thrilled to celebrate this time in London. Read on to see snapshots from my visit.
