There’s nothing like making history come alive than visiting and participating in reenactments of a historic event that defined our nation. One of the major events Boston is associated with was the infamous Boston Tea Party. Located just off the Congress Street Bridge in historic Boston, is a floating museum unlike anything you’ve ever experienced [...]
PERFECT CRUISE IN EVERY WAY
Ah, the open sea! The wind on your hair! The idea of a transportation method that doesn’t involve riding underground in 95% humidity! We had a perfect afternoon on a sunny Monday. We sat upstairs on the outside deck, there were plenty of chairs and room to move around. The breeze kept us cool and [...]
HERE YE! HERE YE!
Over the weekend I journey back in history to a magical world of knights, sword battles, and nobility as an honored guest of the King’s Court. I’ve always been fascinated by the lifestyle of this time period and enthralling themes of love, betrayal, bravery and good VS evil is what makes TV series like Game [...]
8 CAKES & COUNTING
I’m a super crafty person! I enjoy making pretty things and I like to think that I do a decent job on it! One of the things I enjoy making are diaper cakes! My inspiration comes from the theme of the shower and the expecting mommies. I mainly use fabrics and ribbons, I’ve never been [...]

A DUTCH DAY TRIP TO ZAANSE SCHANS
A visit to the Netherlands isn’t really complete without seeing a windmill. It would be like going to Paris and not visiting the Eiffel Tower, like a trip to New York City without seeing the Empire State Building. You get my point: Windmills and the Netherlands just go hand in hand. It was a last [...]
IS THIS THE LUCKIEST BENCH IN ALL OF AMSTERDAM? COULD BE.
There were plenty of wistful sighs as I sat on the bench – THE BENCH! – where Hazel Grace & Augustus Waters profess their undying love. (Hint: the bench is located at Leidsegracht 2 in the Canal District.) The Fault in Our Stars is a spectacular book which deals with a tender subject in an honest [...]
ANNE FRANK HUIS
A trip to Amsterdam would not be complete without a visit to the Anne Frank Museum, which is located in the house where Anne and her family hid for all that time. Here you can walk through the rooms where the families lived, and stand in the actual space where Anne scribbled away in her [...]
AMSTERDAM? MORE LIKE AmsterDAMN!
Amsterdam has easily become one of my favorite cities in the world. I love its brick buildings, open skyline, rich history, and relaxed, easy going attitude towards life. CANALS Amsterdam is a city tied to the water – it grew around its canals and the taming of the Amstel River. All told, there are 165 [...]
A TALE OF TWO BRIDGES
London Bridge vs. Tower Bridge While researching London Bridge, this beautiful and stunning piece of architecture kept popping up. I figure that it was renamed to Tower Bridge and just left it at that. When I got to London, I was so stoked to visit the iconic bridge, not realizing that what I saw online [...]
‘LONDON EYE’ LOVE YOU
The structure itself is tremendously impressive, it’s huge, solid and shiny, like some alien construction dramatically placed in one of the most visually stunning parts of London. The London Eye has 32 capsules, representing the 32 boroughs of London. Each capsule holds around 28 people. One rotation takes about 30 minutes, the pace is very [...]
