Yep, I really quit my job! It was a pretty nerve-wracking experience, and things got pretty complicated and crazy, but everything is finally in place. And I actually quit because of my blog, but not to become a full time blogger (stick with me and everything will make sense at the end!). This is not […]

One of my favorite things about Philadelphia is the old buildings and quirky history (I’m such a history nerd!). If you haven’t been to Philadelphia, I’m sure you know Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell are here, but there are a ton of other beautiful historic buildings in Philadelphia, too. One of my favorite historical […]

As a photographer and friend of a lot of artsy people, I have quite a collection of photographs and artwork from the past few years and haven’t really had room to hang it all up. Since I just moved into my new apartment, I was really excited to have such a huge, empty wall in my […]

When I moved from North Carolina to Philadelphia, I learned something surprising: a ton of people around here vacation at Myrtle Beach! As I’m writing this, two of my coworkers are there right now and another one is heading there in a few days. Myrtle Beach is more of a touristy beach to me, and […]

Even if you don’t live in Philadelphia, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because of its beautiful grounds… just kidding! It’s the home of the very famous Rocky Steps! (confession time: I actually didn’t even seen Rocky until a few months after I moved to Philadelphia) If you get the […]

Spring has (mostly) come to Philadelphia! If you missed last week’s post, I had an entire post on spring flowers in bloom. It’s pretty neat to be able to see so many flowers and greenery in such a big city. And as I mentioned in my first post on the Schuylkill River, Philadelphia actually quite […]

In my first Georgetown post I had pictures of the oldest house in Washington, D.C. dating from before the Revolutionary War, and this post is about Elfreth’s Alley, the oldest residential street in the United States right in Philadelphia! If you haven’t been to Elfreth’s Alley yet, it’s a quaint little street just a short […]

I told you all that I had a lot more pictures from Georgetown! If you missed my first tour of Georgetown post, I had a day trip in Washington, D.C. with Matt and Annika, and since I grew up there and had done all the museums and monuments many times, I took them on a tour […]

Happy April Fools’ Day! 🙂 Is anyone doing great pranks today? Here’s the history of this holiday if anyone is interested! (You know I’m all about history!) I was nominated for the Liebster Award by the very talented photographer, Samantha Eloise! It helps bloggers connect and discover new blogs, and it’s similar to the Sisterhood of […]

Happy Easter! 🙂 I hope everyone had a nice holiday! A few weeks ago, I had a day trip to Washington, D.C., so I took Matt on a tour of Georgetown. I lived most recently in North Carolina, but I actually grew up right outside Washington, D.C. and had an internship in the city a […]
