A short ferry ride away from Manhattan, Rockaway Beach is a great, local beach getaway! My mother and I enjoyed our day trip to the Rockaways where we enjoyed seafood, sand and sun. With great food options and a stretch of beach, there is a lot to enjoy in this NYC beach community.

A cruise to Alaska was an amazing way to visit the 49th state, glaciers and British Columbia. Although a short visit, it was still mesmerizing. With breathtaking greenery, wildlife and cultural artifacts Wrangell, Sitka, Sawyer Glacier and Prince Rupert, British Columbia were stops on the cruise (Alaska Charms from Oceania cruises).

During the 100th running of the Indy 500 I visited Indianapolis, IN. After enjoying the race I enjoyed food and drink at two of Indy’s finest establishments. The next day I explored downtown even further, visiting the Civil War Museum and climbing to the top of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument to view all of downtown in the distance. A short but sweet trip, Indy was a fun time!
