A Few Mid-Adlantic NPS Sites
Baltimore was our next, and final, stop on our East Coast spring trip. Visiting friends, we began our stay with lunch at Liquid Earth. Featuring fresh juices, they also serve vegetarian sandwiches. My meal began with an Orange Pearrot – orange, carrot and pear juice. I had a Rueben, something vegans do not get served often. …

Assateague Island National Seashore
The next leg of our spring trip took us to Ocean City, Maryland. Since it was off season, we were able to stay right on the beach very easily. Our hotel room overlooked the ocean and the sunrise – perfect beginning to a beautiful visit. The town was pretty quiet, lots of businesses were still…

Philadelphia, PA
We began the following day in Philadelphia, at Independence National Historical Park. Both of us have been to Independence before, but we have enjoyed it so much in the past we decided to go again. We also had the goal of finding more Passport Stamps. First we lined up to see the Liberty Bell, and then…

A Few Northeastern NPS Sites
This spring, we were able to take a week off together and do a little East Coast traveling in our quest to visit every National Park Site.

The Island of Maui
The day after our wedding, Anthony and I flew from Honolulu to the island of Maui. Maui, true to what we had been told, is a completely different place than the bustling island of Oahu. In Honolulu, we had dealt with endless traffic and congestion, but on Maui the pace was slower, more leisurely, and…

National Parks of New York Harbor
During the holiday season, we took Metro North into New York City from near my parents’ house in Connecticut. Traveling into the city means two things for us, amazing vegan food and sightseeing. Our first stop was Curly’s Diner. It is a tiny restaurant (aren’t most in the city?) with comfy booths and seriously tasty vegan diner…

Weir Farm National Historic Site
While visiting my parents over the holidays, we finally made it to Connecticut’s only National Park Site. It was a unseasonably warm December afternoon as we made the drive to Wilton. Weir Farm is located in a beautifully rural area, 60 acres amidst rolling hills and fields. Julian Alden Weir bought the farm in 1882…
