Rochester

After dragging my big sis Margaret along on my Upstate New York adventures all over Keuka Lake, Corning, and a glass-blowing workshop, we were both happy but exhausted. And my road trip wasn’t over yet! So we headed up to Margaret’s hometown of Rochester, New York, to really relax for a weekend. You know, lay around…

Mind Blown: Glass Blowing at the Corning Museum of Class thumbnail

After my last post, many of you expressed that you’ve never heard of Corning. That’s not really a huge surprise; after all, it’s a big world and Corning is a relatively small town in Central New York.

“Wow, that’s a change of scenery!” The comment popped up on my Instagram within moments of me posting my first snap from back in the USA. Looking up from my iPhone, I surveyed my surroundings. A calm lake broken only by a few slow kayaks, a crisp glass of local white wine, an American flag stirring…

Photo of the Week 220: Road Trip! thumbnail

Greetings from The Silver State. The past week brought me from Nevada to Arizona to Utah and back to Arizona again, all from the seat of a JUCY camper. I feel like a whole new world has been opened up to me — the world of RV travel! I loved every moment of this trip that…
