Staying in Sorrento for the first half of our honeymoon made it easy to take day trips to nearby cities. One of the places James and I were dying to explore was Pompeii. It was only about a 30-minute train ride away from Sorrento and a short walk from the Pompeii train station to the ruins. […]

Our Honeymoon: Sorrento
Hello again, friends! It feels great to be back home, but I’m running solely on caffeine today. We got home around 1 a.m. after a marathon day of travel from Rome to Indiana. The cats must have really missed us because they woke us up at 6:30 a.m. Welcome home? While it’s nice to get […]
The Celebrations Continue
We’re back in town after another weekend spent on the road. If only we were cruisin’ in that ’57 Chevy the whole time! We went back to James’ hometown for a night to celebrate our marriage with some of his family’s friends. We only had about 120 people at our wedding, so James’ mom wanted […]
Florida Beach Reunion
Fun fact: you can carry a homemade cake or pie onto an airplane. Not only will it make the people you’re visiting happy — everyone on the plane will want to be your friend and the cake will get its own window seat. I toted a delicious gin and tonic cake down to Ft. Myers, […]
Whirlwind Weekend Getaway
I’m struggling, y’all. We took a quick weekend trip back up to our old stomping grounds in South Bend. We had an absolute blast, but got back late Sunday night and my life feels so off-balance right now. It’s almost like I need a vacation to recover from vacation. And, I will have one — I fly […]
Our Minimoon: Cincinnati
Happy Sunday, everyone! We’re relaxing after spending a night in a cabin at McCormick’s Creek State Park with a few friends. We had a blast hiking around to the waterfalls and Wolf Cave. We can’t wait to go back! We also can’t wait to go back to Cincinnati, which is where we spent the last […]
Our Minimoon: South-Central Indiana
Hi, y’all! I know I’ve been a little absent from the blog over the past two weeks. I’ve been having too much fun relaxing and enjoying married life! After a couple of glorious weeks off, James and I both went back to work this week. We are happy to get back to our routines, but […]
BTown Eats: Cardinal Spirits
I’ve always been a vodka girl. In college, it was Burnett’s (just typing that makes me dry heave). In young adulthood, it’s Grey Goose. And, now, Cardinal Spirits. And, they may soon turn me into a gin girl, too. Cardinal Spirits is a small distillery that recently opened in Bloomington, right along the B-Line Trail. I’ve […]
An Indianapolis Institution
It’s been a long week for journalists in Indiana. After working some crazy hours, escaping to Indy for an evening was the perfect way to unwind. We had tickets to see Shakey Graves at the Murat with some friends (he was even better live than on vinyl) and decided to head up early to grab dinner […]
