Fall in Virginia is the best time to visit. The state bursts with natural color, events, and weather too good to be true. I’m lucky enough to take advantage of weekend getaways, but it’s worth the trip even if you fly in. Trick or Treat in Richmond’s Fan As a former resident of “The Fan” […]
I’m not a native Virginian, but that’s precisely why I know the best things to do in Virginia. I made a huge effort to travel and explore the state when I moved here in 2010 and since then I’ve continued to seek fun things to do in Virginia. If you’re also on a quest to explore
For the six years I’ve lived here, I’ve been scared of Virginia wine. How could it possibly be good in a hot, muggy climate? It’s not just stereotypes: several of my friends specifically said local wineries weren’t notable, so I never felt the need to give them a chance. On the Eastern Shore of Virginia,

If I had the money for a beach house, the first place I’d look is Cape Charles VA. That’s something I never thought I’d say about a town that’s only ten blocks long. You can bike from the harbor on the far edge of town to the beach in under 10 minutes. How could that

Frankly, if this spring hadn’t been so wet and miserable, I never would’ve turned it on. I have no patience for PBS series and the introductory scenes of this TV mini-series

I promise the landscapes and adventures will still take your breath away. Less than an hour from Salt Lake City airport, Heber Valley is Utah’s adventure escape.
Wine, the outdoors, and sightDOING are my holy trinity of travel. I missed out on wine tasting during my first two trips to California, so it seemed sacrilegious to make the same mistake on trip #3. Not wanting to offend Bacchus, and not able to afford any special experiences in Napa, I thought Paso Robles was
Driving up and down the California coast is a popular U.S. roadtrip, but the central section in San Luis Obispo county often gets passed by too quickly. I know all too well: I skipped over this piece in favor of San Francisco to Big Sur on my first trip and Los Angeles to Santa Barbara

If there’s one thing the United States does better than almost all other countries, it’s making the great outdoors accessible to everyone. The U.S. National Park Service manages 59 national parks. Together with national monuments, preserves, and other protected areas, there are 400+ sites covering 84 million acres — and they’re all free August 25-28! Active travel
In the middle of nowhere — and yet somewhere Mike and I have driven by countless times — is Virginia’s old-school resort: The Homestead. The original lodge was built in 1766 and even though many things have changed since then, the century-old allure hasn’t changed. After five or six years of saying “maybe next time” whenever we
