November 17, 2014 Momofuku Milk Bar
While we were waiting for our table at Momofuku Noodle Bar, we decided to take a walk over to the Milk Bar a few blocks away. Dessert before dinner? You bet. So we try the cereal milk shake which was tasty, not quite as sweet as I thought it would taste – more like cornflakes, […]

September 22, 2014 Gracie’s
When we finally got up to Stowe Mountain Lodge in Vermont, we decided to go out for dinner. Looking for something casual, we decided on Gracie’s. I hadn’t been there since I was a kid, and that was at their old location in town. Closer to the hotel, Gracie’s is a popular casual dining spot […]

September 11, 2014 Vermont Farm Tour
I had really wanted to attend this year’s Vermont Cheese Festival but we were going to be in Vermont the week after. So the next best thing would be a Vermont Farm Tour. I looked up the company and contacted Chris Howell, the owner. We made plans to meet on Friday in Middlebury. Tours are […]

September 10, 2014 Stowe Mountain Lodge
Another summer and that means another trip up to Stowe Mountain Lodge. There is just something about Vermont that we love. I can’t quite figure out what it is, but the people are nicer, the air seems fresher and crisper, and the food is outstanding. There was some blasting on the highway on the way […]

September 3, 2014 Miller’s Twist
This post seems to have missed the whole Philly set of posts. No matter! When you go to Philly, one of the must try things (besides a cheese steak) is a pretzel. You’ve had a pretzel before, maybe Auntie Annies? You can’t even compare these to other pretzels you’ve had. Located in the Reading Terminal Market, […]

August 26, 2014 Voodoo Doughnuts
When we left Keystone on Sunday, the hotel told us to leave at least 4 hours before we needed to get to the airport. Traffic was supposed to be heavy because of the holiday weekend. We got to Denver in no time, and found ourselves driving aimlessly trying to find something to do. And that […]

August 22, 2014 Keystone Wedding
The day finally came when Gabe and Jill were getting married. Guests boarded two gondolas to get to the top of the mountain. Altitude sickness is no joke, 1 beer up on the top of the mountain could feel like 3 beers on the ground. We didn’t experience any of it, but another guest certainly […]

August 21, 2014 July 4th in Breckenridge
Breckenridge, CO is another hot skiing destination. We had nothing to do and decided to take a ride out there. From Keystone, it is about a 30 minute scenic drive. This scenery reminds me of our recent trip to Vegas. Loveland is the highest mountain pass in the world that regularly stays open during a […]

August 19, 2014 Wagon Ride in Keystone
We were in Keystone for my friend Gabe’s wedding to his college sweetheart Jill. The wedding itself was beautiful and it gave us an excuse to go to one of the hottest destinations in CO. Most of the guests stayed over Saturday night so Gabe’s parents hosted a wagon ride and bbq dinner. We met […]

August 18, 2014 Horseback Riding in Keystone
I’m not a biker or a hiker, or an outdoorsy person for that matter, so the best way I know how to see the landscape is to go on a horseback ride. I have plenty of experience riding English style, however, most places that tourists go offer Western. The hotel offers 1 hour or 2 […]
