Let's Go Places: The Ohio Lighthouses of Lake Erie

Friends, today we are going back to the beginning of my solo travels.  How did I go from being someone who wasn't really into travel to someone who now drops everything to build a long weekend trip at the drop of a hat?

It started with lighthouses.  Let's go back to the summer of 2022 and I'll take you with me on my first tentative steps outside the house.

Weekly Round Up: Back at Home

A weekly round up: eats, workouts, watches, and reads.  This week I have a killer good taco recipe to share, the Hubs and I hit a new biking milestone, we saw a funny movie, and I might have read a few books since we last talked.

Let's Go Places: Rochester, New York

 

Oh man oh man have I got a travel story for you.  It's about winning the lottery, FLW, and lighthouses.

Don't get too excited about the lottery thing.  It was for a slot on the 2024 tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright Boynton House in Rochester, New York.  This is a privately owned home that does tours once a year to benefit the Landmark Society.  Due to popular demand, you can only buy a ticket if you win their lottery.

Rochester is four hours away, and I figured that I'd cut out of work a little early and get there on Friday night, tour the house and whatever else I could find on Saturday, and come home on Sunday.  As soon as I saw what the offerings were in Rochester I adjusted my schedule to take a full day off on Friday.
