JD: Weekends are made for downtime and sometimes downtime means stretching your imagination and senses and new experiences.

A little wanderlust Wednesday for you.

All of this talk about winter storms from our friends and family back in Chicago (and M in Boston) and I’m over here like NOPE.
JD: we took this photo as we were house hunting in Arizona after being the last ones (of the 3 of us) to leave the little street in Illinois where we all lived. Since we are all reminiscing about looking back on our Chicago days, I’m reminded of this quote: Memories Take You Back, Dreams Take You Forward. ….. Chandler, AZ
M: A little Thursday Throwback, all this talk about Chicago makes me think about Chicago in the summer. There is something about the Chicago skyline, and feeling the breezes off Lake Michigan, that is part of the magic of the city. Sometimes it’s the pause in between travels that bring up the best memories.
Z: She promised herself better, and never looked back. (Author unknown, but I love this). And how does the story end? It doesn’t. That’s the point. Her story goes on & on, even in her legacy.
“Her legacy was that she loved with all she had, whether you deserved it or not” Liz Newman @liz_newman_writer

Z: this post is my ode, my wax poetic and my confession that boots are my weakness. I own probably close to 50 pairs of boots (Harley boots, cowgirl boots, dress boots, you get the idea…) and there is something about putting on the right pair of boots at the right time that can lead to a whole lot of trouble. To me, they are not just shoes but wearing a bit of your personality on the outside. You can’t turn my head with an expensive designer purse, but the right pair of boots will sing to my soul. And for men? It’s always been my personal philosophy you can tell the difference between boys and men by the boots that they wear.
Z: That Friday Feeling… Driving to Santa Barbara 2 weekends ago, I stopped at this awesome little restaurant, Boathouse at Hendry’s near Arroyo Burro beach. Really cute little cove with the California vibe and I couldn’t help but snap this iconic photo. Unfortunately, the 90-minute wait for a table continued our quest up the coast for a bite to eat, but the location and food looked irresistible. I’ll be 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 in Laguna Beach, California is a perfect stop along the Pacific Coast Highway. It's a perfect mix of tropical and wild beach.
If you want to truly appreciate how beautiful a beach can be, visit it early in the spring, after a rare Southern California dark and cloudy sky. 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.
Celebrating National Parks season kicks off this month in a variety of ways. Here is what you need to know about the when, where and how to celebrate our National Parks, Monuments and Forests.
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.
