There was just one town on our Sea Lion itinerary: Petersburg. It may be small (just about 3,000 residents) but it's a very interesting place! Mitkof Island, where Petersburg is located, was long a Tlingit fishing site before the arrival of Europeans Petersburg itself was founded by Peter ... continue reading...
Lindblad National Geographic Sea Lion in Alaska
Our adventure started off with a 7-day voyage through Southeast Alaska, with Lindblad National Geographic on the Sea Lion, and I can't say enough good things about it. The ultimate travel luxury? Simply showing up, knowing that everything is thoughtfully planned and every detail taken care of to ... continue reading...
Taiyaki House, Anchorage AK
If you'd like the perfect Japanese Alaskan fusion food, look no further than reindeer taiyaki. You'll find them at the Anchorage weekend market, at the Taiyaki House stand. Taiyaki are Japanese cakes filled with sweet anko red bean paste and named for their fish shape - tai is sea bream ... continue reading...
Anchorage, Alaska
Did you know I was born in Anchorage? D's mother and I wrapped up our trip here, in Alaska's largest city and my birthplace. One of our first stops was the Anchorage Visitor Information Center. It hasn't changed since I was a baby (except for the sign). The "air crossroads of the world" ... continue reading...
Alaska!
I was offline for a while recently - in Alaska! D's parents put together a wonderful family trip that I was lucky enough to be a part of. It felt odd at first to be away from cell service for days at a time, but it didn't take long to get used to it (and start loving it). It was hard to come back ... continue reading...
L’Etoile, Madison WI
This summer I've become a bit obsessed with L'Etoile, a chic farm-to-table restaurant in Madison, Wisconsin. D and I usually stick fairly close to the lake when we're in Wisconsin, but we've pretty much exhausted the dining options close by. So one evening, we decided to venture farther afield, ... continue reading...
Bombay Club and the Renwick, Washington DC
After walking the mall to the Lincoln Memorial, we headed up to the White House area for lunch at the Bombay Club. The weather was lovely, so we asked for one of the patio tables so we could enjoy the fresh air and people watch. The Bombay Club has a fantastic option for lunch - thalis, which ... continue reading...
Sloppy Joes
I was feeling uninspired about what to make for dinner the other day, until the idea of Sloppy Joes popped into my head. Not sure why, since I haven't had one since I was a kid... They were a big hit, though. And so easy to make! Most sauce recipes I found call for all ketchup as the base, but ... continue reading...
Breakfast at Paul, and the Smithsonian
No trip to DC is complete without the Smithsonian museums, and I particularly wanted to see my childhood favorites, Natural History and Air & Space. Unsurprisingly, approximately 20,000 school kids on field trips had the same idea! But I'm getting ahead of myself. To start the day, we ... continue reading...
