Ah, and we’re back to the not-so-regularly scheduled updates! I can’t believe I still have Homestead pictures to put up, but you know how it goes. We participated in a few extracurricular activities during our stay. Joe took me on an early-evening snowmobile ride after the ski slopes closed, and also on a surprisingly terrifying […]
Recap
The Homestead Spa and Resort in Bath County, Virginia: Entryway and Presidential Lounge
No comments are needed for this installment of our Homestead recap–yes, this place has a presidential lounge. The entrance hallway is the kind of place where you want to get really drunk and curl up with a good book until an angry uncle makes you leave. And this is the presidential lounge (aka has presidents’ […]
The Homestead Spa and Resort in Bath County, Virginia: The Lounges
The Homestead is a rather sprawling building, which has more lounges than M*A*S*H had seasons (both things are definitely for an older crowd, see what I did there?). The lounges are absolutely beautiful, but I must say that Joe and I never ended up… lounging in any of them. It was just a little overwhelming […]
The Homestead Spa and Resort in Bath County, Virginia: The Building
So… this post is about something that happened over six months ago. At the time, I posted about it very briefly, and never went back to edit the pictures and fully recap our 4th anniversary trip to The Homestead Spa and Resort in Bath County, VA. The next few posts will catch everyone up, I […]
Million Dollar Food Baby
Talk about euthanasia (does that count as a movie spoiler?) — I stopped by American Eats (Dale Mabry Highway, Tampa, FL) on the way home from work today and randomly decided to take on their burger challenge, just cuz I’m like that. 4 patties, 2 lbs of Angus beef, buns, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mayo, […]
Bienvenidos a Miami (y Tampa), Cabrones!
So I’m in Tampa for work and I’ve been hanging out with some very cool Air Force guys. Cool meaning, well, twisted. Like Anna and me! It’s funny when you break through the veneer of formality and turn into casually swearing 5-year-olds. Besides that, I’ve eaten a bunch of Cuban sandwiches, run along Bayshore Boulevard […]
Seattle
Less than a week after Santa Monica, I flew to Seattle to meet up with my dad while he was at an Amazon conference. I also almost missed my flight there. Ugh. Anyways, in love with Washington’s forests and mountains. Reminds me of Finland. So gorgeous.
Santa Monica
I’m incredibly lucky that Joe loves travel as much as I do. For my birthday this year, he decided that we should go see Craig Ferguson’s live tapings in LA, so we flew over to Santa Monica for a quick three-ish day visit. And yes, this was that one time slept through our flight there. […]
