Slow travel. Eat local.

The United States is a big and varied place. Our food is as diverse as our multi-cultural population. There are so many popular American foods. I didn’t realize it until I was older, but we are so lucky to have such a variety of cultures and foods all around us. And because of this variety, […]

I try not to return to places I’ve already visited, but of course, it’s a different story when visiting family. I’ve written about my mom’s town of scenic Silverton, Colorado before. But not when visiting…with kids [cue screeching horror music]. This visit, I got to see the town a bit differently. If you’re looking for […]

I’m learning that it doesn’t necessarily matter where you go with kids as long as there is fun stuff to do…especially somewhere with water. When D&D were in Chicago last summer, one of their favorite things was splashing around the two inches of water at Millennium Park. Boom. Free water park. Things […]

Still a Solo Traveler Most of the time I am a solo traveler. Something first seen as scary and a disadvantage easily became something I loved quite quickly. I love traveling alone. I can do and see whatever I want, whenever I want. And when things get stressful – I almost miss a flight or […]

Silverton, Colorado As we near closer to summer, we are also nearing the end of avalanche season. For many, this has absolutely no meaning, but for those living amidst the snow and mountains of the western US and Canada…it is as real as it gets. My mom’s drive to ‘work,’ has her driving past […]

Nothing says we are proud to celebrate our independence in the United States like a 4th of July barbecue or cook-out. These wings were made outside on a homemade grill at my mom’s log cabin house in Silverton, Colorado.

We have a beautiful planet. It is easy to take it for granted: breathing clean air, drinking fresh water, and enjoying all that nature and the seasons have to offer. No matter what you believe whether it be global warming, climate change, global change, or volcanic ash Wednesday, we should do all we can to […]

I made it. Silverton, Colorado. Population 566. No stoplights. No dry cleaners. And no McDonald’s. This old mining town’s official beginning came in 1874 with the discovery of gold and silver (hence the name). There are still some active mines, although today it has turned into a small tourist stop at the end of […]

I was overdue for a visit to see my mom. I can’t believe it had already been nearly a year since my last visit. Time flies. After I returned from my world travels last spring, I flew over to see her…and now it had been a year since I returned the US and that I […]

I just swung into Silverton, Colorado—population 425. My mom and stepdad are 2 of them. They know about half of the townsfolk and probably most of the dogs. They have six of their own. And of course, there are no stoplights. This old mining town’s official beginning came in 1874 with the discovery of gold […]
