I’ve always wanted to travel somewhere by myself. It would be a grand adventure! So, during the spring I would dream in between practice question sets and had google flights on speed dial – or actually automatic alerts. Flights to Paris, London, Barcelona, I was tracking them all. It didn’t really matter where I went,…… Continue reading Hello, London

Sleep Under the Stars
At least once in your life. A few weeks ago I was up in Winter Park and we decided it would be the perfect weekend to hang up the hammock. With the gentle sway I fell asleep between the trees and under the stars. There is a short list of places that I have felt…… Continue reading Sleep Under the Stars
Bellingham, WA
The breeze coming off the bay was cool, especially in the shade. The tall trees shielding the bright sun from my pale skin. It had been hot and dry in Denver leading up to this trip, with the temperatures approaching 100 every day; wildfires raging in southern Colorado, national forests closed to humans. It was…… Continue reading Bellingham, WA
Capitol Reef National Park, Utah

Here is a photo journal of my trip to Thailand. This will scratch the surface of the laughs we shared and the memories we…… Continue reading Thailand, Part 1
#HAGS
The ever so elegant way of telling your friends to “Have a great summer”. I wrote this in many yearbooks throughout my day mostly because when I was younger I didn’t know how to be thoughtful. I didn’t know how to make someone feel special – make them feel like I was really going to…… Continue reading #HAGS
Minneapolis – A short review
In the last 12 months I’ve taken 8 trips. That doesn’t really sound like that many to the seasoned traveler, but to me that’s a record. My latest was to Minneapolis, Minnesota. I flew to Minnesota to attend a scientific conference for pediatric hematologists and oncologists, and to present my research project. Now, I’m not…… Continue reading Minneapolis – A short review
