Azalea Festival in Wilmington, NC

25 July 2012

After visiting Wilmington for several years and at several different times of the year, my schedule never quite lined up to make it to the Azalea Festival until this time. If you’re lucky and the timing is right, the azalea bushes will be blooming everywhere around town at the same time as the Festival. Often [...]

When my sister came to me with the idea of doing a writing retreat for her book, as a way for her and I to get away as well as to get work done, I jumped at it! She had a few requirements that included not too expensive, not too distracting, and convenient for both [...]

This is not a post about cooking but a post about snow! More specifically, about snowboarding at Sugar Mountain Resort in Banner Elk, North Carolina.

If I were asked, what my favorite sport is, I would probably say to watch it would be either gymnastics or figure skating.

After successfully completing my first ever skydive, I thought I had a good idea of what to expect for a second tandem jump.

With summer rapidly coming to a close, an impromptu beach visit is a fun weekend plan. Knowing people that live near the beach and will also let you stay with them is great for cost savings. In this case, it was my in-laws. So, we rounded up a few friends and we were off to [...]
