  • America the Beautiful

    Our obsession for National Parks sparked innocently enough at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, New York, in 2023. We were standing in front of a giant sliced wedge of a Sequoia tree, completely enthralled with its size. When one of the kids asked if it was truly real, Dev responded by saying…

  • Open Road + Dramatic Clouds

    Hello from somewhere out in New Mexico and Texas. Where the roads are so straight you could take a nap, wake up and still be driving straight. Where the open space is mind bogglingly vast. Where the sunsets are so golden. Where the clouds are so dramatic.

  • A Dreamy Long Weekend in Banff, Canada

    Banff National Park in Alberta Canada had been on our wish list for the last few years. Alas, the dream came true in September when we found a direct WestJet flight from Raleigh to Calgary. Banff is still about a 2-hours drive from the airport, but we are lucky to have family in Calgary and…

  • Our 7-Day Iceland Itinerary

    If the Big Island of Hawaii had a baby with the Swiss Alps, it would be Iceland. Rolling hills full of sheep and horses. Farm houses scattered over black earth. Beautiful and abundant waterfalls cutting through the rocks. Hot springs. Mountains and fjords. Space. So much expansive space with mind blowing scenery. For me, Iceland…

  • Fishing on the Haw River

    Thanks to Dev’s wonderful friends Nicole and Tyler, and thanks to the kids who are not skirmish like their mother, we went fishing on the Haw River in Pittsboro, this past weekend. I caught a fish with my first cast, and screamed instantly with panic because I did not like the inevitable act of having…

  • Chicago

    It may have been over a decade since we moved from Chicago, but it still feels like home ever time we find ourselves there. Just ask our kids who pretty much see their parents lose it and talk over each other with their “2 blocks that way”, “3 blocks that way”, “on your right is…
