So because every single year I do a recap of my New Year’s Resolutions and every year it’s an exercise in disappointment, I’m going to scale it down a bit this year and keep it completely reasonable, keeping in mind my actual budget (not what I wish my budget would be), the amount of time

So, it’s officially time to start booking and planning those ski outings for winter 2015, or as I like to call them “Winter Fun Trips.” See, I don’t downhill ski, but I love the idea of a “ski trip.” I like winters, I like outdoor activities, and I like the look and feel of ski
If you’ve ever read this blog before, you probably know that my perfect weekend includes a combination of some sort of quasi-athletic activity accompanied by some post activity pub crawling. You know what’s even better? When the two activities are combined, which is why I think I was drawn to the idea of pedicycles from
This might be a bit of a throwaway post, but that’s OK. Last weekend I was scheduling my social media postings for the week (if you think I have time to tweet and facebook multiple times a day, you’re crazy) and decided that for #throwbackthursday, I wanted to post a picture from my trip to

I’ve outlined before why one of my favorite outdoor activities and am stoked that this winter has been generous with the snow thus far. I think I skied five times last year and two of those required traveling up to Lake Placid for a weekend. I was
Like it or not winter is coming, so it’s time to get prepared. My friends and I have started to plan our annual pilgrimage to Lake Placid, for our annual “winter fun” trip. This will be our third year going and honestly I’m in love with the town and area. It’s got everything I look
It’s about that time of year where I’ve fully anticipating embracing winter, yet want to sneak in one last nice weather outdoor weekend, so for this edition of “Weekend Trip Idea” we’re heading south, West Virginia to be exact. A couple of years ago there was a deal on Living Social advertising cabin rentals in
Well, Halloween is over and November is upon us, which in my mind means that we’ve transitioned from fall to winter. I realize that technically November is still fall, but remember, I was raised in NEPA’s higher elevations and usually by the time Thanksgiving’s come around temperatures have dropped and we’ve had a few snowfalls.
