Not Skiing in Steamboat
Hi, friends! This year, I tagged along Rex on one of his “solo” ski trips. Usually I stay home but I figured I can work from home some of the days so why not! Rex wanted to go to Steamboat per a couple of his friend’s recommendations so we flew into Denver then to Yampa Valley Regional Airport from there. It was my first time at a regional airport ever, and I’m kind of obsessed?! For example, boarding/departing plane from the tarmac in the open air was so fun!! For the first day, we didn’t make any plans or itinerary since air travel took up most of the day and…

NYC Eats – March 2025
Hi, friends! I’m here to document another trip I went on this month. You know I was in San Antonio last weekend… this weekend, I was in NYC. Now, I wouldn’t normally do out-of-state trips back to back but I booked this NYC weekend trip, a few months after the San Antonio trip was already planned, for a concert which ended up being indefinitely postponed (I am still very sad about this 🥺). Anyways, we made the most of it by eating lots of food and seeing a Broadway show instead (watched Six which was different and fun)! We ate a lot and we ate nonstop so brace yourself!! Our…

Postcards from SATX
Hi, friends! Rex and I are back from a quick weekend trip to San Antonio, TX where we visited one of Rex’s brothers and his fiancée. It was my second time in Texas ever (first time was in Austin back in 2021) and can I just say I liked San Antonio much better than Austin…. 👀 I didn’t take a ton of photos because I really did my best to go with the flow since Rex’s brother and his fiancée are not used to me being extra. As I say this, I am realizing how many photos I am including in this blog post haha! Here are some snaps from…

Winter Weekend in Wilmington
Hi, friends! Rex and I took a very quick weekend trip to Wilmington during President’s Day Weekend, and it was the loveliest time! I have been wanting to visit Wilmington since my very first time just a couple of years ago, and it was Rex’s first time in Wilmington actually. We went for just Saturday and Sunday and decided to not rush getting there. Leaving from Durham, we arrived just around lunchtime and went straight for CheeseSmith. Their Landfall location is pretty new, I think. It’s basically in a strip mall so it was very easy to get to and find parking in. Somehow, the grilled cheeses were better than…

Our First Ever Beach Week! Pt.2 Outer Banks
Hi, friends! Back today (better late than never!!!) with part 2 of Our First Ever Beach Week! For the second leg of the trip, we booked a place in the town of Manteo in the Outer Banks. Manteo is a charming little coastal town. We were in walking distance (or a short driving distance) from downtown which we walked around every day while we were in town. Downtown Books was one of the cute local shops in Downtown Manteo. It is on the smaller side but it was packed with adorable bookish items and a great selection of titles. Of course, I had to leave with a souvenir–I picked up…
