Dream a little family travel dream

When I’m not traveling, I like nothing better than to think about places I’ve been or places I’d like to go. And sometimes I like to share stories of my travels that don't include specific tips but are just tales of my family's (or my own) adventures. You'll find my family travel dreams here. Use the drop-down menu to choose a specific story or just browse below.

    I wish I could share the heady scent of my Korean spice viburnum. One thing that this pandemic has done is brought me back to my much neglected garden.  #coronadiary

    It seemed like a good idea to stop using cloth napkins for the time being, so I have pulled out all of the paper napkins in our house. When the (15–year-old) birthday boy saw these from birthday parties past, he asked me to save a couple “for old time’s sake” and I realized that we have crossed a line in our collective lives and there will now and forevermore be a before and after.  #coronadiary

    I ran in a stinging, cold May drizzle. I couldn’t outrun my rage. I couldn’t outrun my heartbreak. I asked Jesus to run beside while I prayed his name. I ran inches too far while I said it to myself. Ahmaud Arbery. I prayed for his parents. I ran.  #runwithmaud

    “When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment.” -Georgia O’Keeffe. I’m spending a lot of time doing yard work right now and there are entire moments when the world feels utterly sane and normal, because of course, to the flowers it is.  #coronadiary
