Staycations

There’s nothing like driving less than an hour to a destination and feeling like you’re worlds away from home. In the past month or so, Mitch and I had three lovely invitations from friends for various life celebrations that took us to Marblehead, MA (Eastern Yacht Club), Newport, RI (Hammett's Hotel) and Boston (The Newbury Hotel). It’s low stress packing when you can take as much as you want and just throw it in the car. And there is something magical when you enter a hotel and get to be a guest. Even if just for 24 hours, a mini trip away from home is good for the spirit and excellent for enjoying new restaurants, exploring new areas and even finding new running routes.
