Rome, the Eternal City... somehow we became a part of it, or maybe it became a part of us. What started as different and unfamiliar quickly became comfortable and hard to leave. Not at all like my home in San Diego, California, Rome is a mix ... [...]

A long weekend in the Finger Lakes
Posted by Mardi@eatlivetravelwrite under Top Foodie Blog
Last weekend was my “mid-term break” – much needed after the first half of interminable Term 1 and a week of Parent-Teacher interviews that felt like what I imagine speed dating must be like.

There are so many great places to visit, that up until yesterday I had never been to Portsmouth, NH before. Luckily a group of bloggers and friends got together and made a [...]

The Roman Colosseum, the Forum, Angel Tours and a quintessential Italian lunch at Ristorante Mario’s in the Piazza Del Grillo
Posted by Kim - Liv Life under Top Foodie Blog
A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum... the city wormed its way into our hearts and we truly fell in love with Rome. On our recent trip to the Eternal City, the ancient hub of Roman society in addition to the neighboring Colosseum were ... [...]
