Granite Lake is my favorite place in New Hampshire

Granite Lake is my favorite place in New Hampshire. My memories there are numerous. From cookouts and watersports on a hot summer Saturday, to polar plunges and snow angels after a Christmas Eve sauna. My aunt provided the most perfect place for our large, extended family to gather, and nonchalantly embraced the incredible chaos that came along with it. It was a childhood that many only dream of, and was made all the more special by those in it. We love you and will miss you, Auntie. Rest easy. ❤️

Pulled these babies out today! I haven't been on skates in more than 20 years; but with some snazzy, new, cotton candy pink laces and my trusty leg warmers, I was right back to channeling my inner Kristi Yamaguchi at Robin Hood Park. ❤️

This very talented watercolor artist told me that 'all we need is love.' I think she's right. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

My parents received their first doses of the Moderna vaccine yesterday. They are feeling well and I am feeling relieved, hopeful, and beyond grateful. Next on the agenda: Nurse Sanchez will be hauling their asses outside to work off that arm soreness with a little frisbee throwing.

You know you've reached the height of pandemic fatigue when your mom starts dressing you up in your fifth-grade Halloween costume.

I took a quick break from the travel posts to writ

I took a quick break from the travel posts to write about our pandemic year. Being a year like no other, it seemed like something that needed to be documented. It was a tangle of new stresses and new joys, and ultimately reminded us not to take the little things for granted - jobs, health, and family. We were lucky to come out of 2020 with all three.
---
If you're interested in reading about our year, check it out. If it inspires you to reflect on and write about your own year, I highly recommend it. It's pretty cathartic and may one day be interesting to look back on.

Here's to 2020, and to all the good, the bad, and the weird! ➡️ Link in bio.

Sanchez was thrilled to join in on the inauguration festivities yesterday. As an immigrant herself, she's excited for what her future holds with Joe and Kamala at the helm.

Out with the self-aggrandizing bonehead who can’t even pronounce the names of our national parks. In with the aviator-wearing, ice cream-loving beacon of hope and unity. So proud of and excited for our new President and Vice-President! 🎉

Four years ago this scruffy little street dog made the 24-hour flight from Thailand to join our family. We've watched as she's slowly transformed from timid and uncertain to brave and self-assured. We're so proud of our intrepid explorer, and beyond grateful every day that she chose us to be her people. Here's to another year of adventures, baby girl! ❤️

Located in southwest Colorado, Mesa Verde National

Located in southwest Colorado, Mesa Verde National Park protects the remains of hundreds of ancient Native American cliff dwellings. Tucked into natural alcoves within the canyon walls, the Ancestral Pueblo constructed the residences and storehouses in the late 12th and 13th centuries.
---
Pictured here are the ruins of Cliff Palace, the largest cliff dwelling in North America. With 150 rooms, Cliff Palace is thought to have been used as a social and administrative site with a population of around 100 individuals at its height in the 13th century. What is more, its 23 kivas suggest that Cliff Palace was a site with great ceremonial significance.
---
If you’re interested in exploring the archaeological heritage of the Ancestral Pueblo, who occupied the mesa for some 700 years before their hasty migration, the national park is definitely worth a visit. For more about the history and some tips for visiting ➡️ Link in bio.
