I have to admit that I’m more of the “cabin in the woods with bears” type of person, but my husband is more of a “Wolf in a costume, hotel room beds and amenities” kind of person. I first heard about Great Wolf Lodge (GWL) when I was looking into places for a family reunion…

It’s Out of the Park!: Fenway Beyond The Green Monster
You don’t have to be at Fenway to gather with Red Sox Nation and enjoy the game. You don’t have to be sitting on your couch either. You don’t have to bring the kids to a local sports bar to watch the game either. Today you have the perfect solution: Out of the Park. Out…
Long Island: Closer than You Think
When I was a high school student in New York, Memorial Day weekend was a long awaited weekend, because it was the kickoff to summer. For many of my friends that meant it was time to kick off shoes, trade cars for mopeds and take the ferry to Block Island. It has been a long…
Fenway + Yoga = FenwaYoga
My daughter loves her yoga classes. I grew up in a family of yogis. I even enjoyed going to mom and baby yoga. When the yoga was for me though, I have given it several tries and it just wasn’t an experience I enjoyed. My mind would feel like it was on hyperspeed and my…

Lunch Meeting at West Bridge (Cambridge)
I love having lunch at West Bridge. The first time I went, the restaurant was new and lunch was very quiet. It was nice to see that this time the restaurant was probably 1/2 full. West Bridge has a beautiful rustic/industrial vibe (if that makes any sense – lots of nice wood and metal). It…
