14/08/14 Keystone Resort – Red Hawk

We were invited to a wedding of an old friend and headed out to Keystone, CO over the July 4th weekend. If you’ll remember, we were expecting a hurricane. Our jetBlue flight was delayed leaving, and with the altered flight plan to avoid the storm, it was a long night. Once we arrived at the […]

12/08/14 Jimmy’s

After lunch at Quicks Hole we stop a few doors down at Jimmy’s for some ice cream. For years they were cash only, but score, they now accept cards! Ice cream comes in delicious flavors like chocolate cupcake, coconut almond bar, coffee cake, grasshopper and salted caramel chocolate pretzel. I get the caramel cashew crunch […]

11/08/14 Organic Living Superfoods at Liquid Art House

Organic Living Superfoods started in 2012 by Bruce Namenson (former partner/owner of the Prana Café) and Craig Singer, a former criminal attorney. I met Craig at a Good Ones party and we decided to meet up at Liquid Art House so that he could tell me a bit more about his products. I forewarned him […]

11/08/14 Quicks Hole

We popped down to the Cape for the weekend and had to stop at one of my favorite restaurants, Quicks Hole in Woods Hole. A popular destination for locals, tourists and those catching the ferry to MV, Quicks Hole offers fresh seafood tacos that are to die for. Parking can be scarce here so plan […]

08/08/14 Portland Lobster Company

On our way up to Kennebunport for the weekend, we stopped in Portland for lunch. Located on a fence between Long Wharf and the Portland Lobster Company on Commercial Street in the Old Port, people put padlocks (love locks) to symbolize their love for one another. We order inside at the counter and they give […]

07/08/14 Earth at Hidden Pond

We headed up to Maine for a quick weekend away in Kennebunkport. We were staying at Hidden Pond, and while it was hard to pick the thing I was MOST excited about, eating at Earth was at the top of my list. We picked the same weekend to go up to Kennebunkport as M and […]

06/08/14 Treehouse Spa at Hidden Pond

The tree spa at Hidden Pond offers three treetop spa rooms connected by a raised catwalk. How cute are the rooms? The only downside is that they do not have showers at the spa. I had a pure therapy 60 minute massage ($130) with Emily, who was fantastic. She gave me a customized massage based […]

06/08/14 Hidden Pond

I had bought a Living Social deal months and months ago and booked this weekend getaway to Hidden Pond. We knew friends of friends who got married here and everyone had such good things to say about the resort. We were there before it was peak season, and it seemed like most of the other […]
