Weekend in London: The Time We Chased Umbrellas at Stonehenge
Sometimes spontaneity leads to the best adventures—and that’s exactly what happened when we decided, on a whim, to fly to London for the weekend. Time permitted, and with no children, we figured… why not? (Let’s be honest—one of the perks of being child-free is the ability to pack a bag, book a flight, and jet…
Our Alaskan Adventure: A Perfect Day in Juneau
There are some days that feel like they were designed just for you—and our stop in Juneau, Alaska, was exactly that kind of day.

Clear Skies and Jet Trails: My Visit to the Udvar-Hazy Control Tower
It wasn’t originally on my itinerary. I had planned my trip to Washington D.C. last year with the usual patriotic hits — Smithsonian museums, the National Mall, cherry blossoms if I could catch them.

Time Well Spent: My Love for Watches and the Stories They Tell
For as long as I can remember, watches have been more than accessories — they’ve been storytellers. Each timepiece I own captures a chapter of my life: a success, a journey, a moment worth remembering. Some people mark milestones with photos or trophies; I mark mine in hours, minutes, and seconds.
