Kimball’s Farm, Massachusetts

This is the stuff American Summer Nostalgia is made of. It’s National Ice Cream Day, but it’s also 87 degrees and about a million percent humidity. It’s also a sunny summer day in the middle of July, and it’s the best homemade ice cream on the east coast.  Enough reasons to go to Kimball’s Farm. Part of the joy of finding meaning in the travel is to creating those little memories.  Long after I’ve forgotten the coolest restaurants to eat at or sights to be seen, I’ll long remember the feeling of ice cream dripping down my hand on this hot summer day, and walking in the sunshine, walking under covered bridging, kids laughing and running around and the t-shirt stuck to my back.

New Orleans is more than what to see and do. It's more than beads hanging off of street signs. New Orleans is tasting powdered sugar on the fingers, cobblestones that rise and fall with every step; big porches with small details. It's big music, marching through the streets and gentle hospitality.

Heisler Park, Laguna Beach

Any beach can look appealing in bright sunshine and blue skies. For the wanderer that seeks raw and wild beauty where ocean touches the land, this is where you go.

Blooming Flower Fields of Carlsbad

I dreamt I walked through the blooming Flower Fields of Carlsbad. A sea of pink, white, red and orange flowers in rows of waves as far as I could see. I stepped into a painting with the breezes blowing off the ocean and could see the ocean from atop the hill. I realized I wasn't dreaming. This was a dream come true.
