NYC Street Art : Walk Around the Lower East Side

NYC Street Art

We recently had the pleasure of a day off in old stomping grounds, New York City.  As we ambled aimlessly through the Lower East Side and Alphabet City, enjoying some snacks and adult beverages, we couldn’t help but snap some photos of some great NYC street art. Everything from stickers and wheatpaste pieces to full-building painted murals and […]

Cape Cod Winter: An Out of “Season” Photo Gallery

Cape Cod in the winter?!? It’s always fun and interesting to see destinations from a different perspective.  Those of you who have visited Cape Cod know all too well the hustle and bustle of summers on the Cape.  Tamara grew up here and has seen the range of all the seasons many times.  For me, […]

Colorado Concord grapes on the vine

Confession: I Want to Be a Farmer…Colorado Concord Grapes Were a Perfect Reminder There’s nothing like eating straight from the garden.

We are […]

Fathom Travel: Cruising for a Change

Fathom Travel

A Social Impact Cruise for Non-Cruisers I have to be honest. We have never been drawn to cruising. We had this unappealing image of being stuck on a boat for days on end with nothing to do but eat and drink and sit by the pool. For us, travel is about the journey, but also about the destination. We feared that […]
