Hello. Back in November I took my youngest son Austin on a trip to Denver, Colorado to visit the universities in the area. Being the fanatical skier that he is, the college he chooses must be in close proximity to snow. The second prerequisite is that the school be situated in an urban area. Having […]
Greetings and Happy Christmas Eve! Each December my husband and I spend a weekend with some dear friends that live in a beautiful beach house near where I grew up. We always have a wonderful time and get treated to lots of fun activities during our annual visit. It is particularly enjoyable for me because […]

The first stop on our journey was The Inn At Little Washington, where we visited the charming village, ate the best meal of our lives and, generally, had a magnificent time. So, how do you top that?
