Polaroid of the Week

Yesterday, Coney Island turned into mermaid central when the annual Mermaid Parade marched down the boardwalk for the 32nd time – an unforgettable summer event!

Upon returning to New York from Canada, I went straight out to the Jersey Shore – which turned out to be nothing like I expected! Check out Sandy Hook’s amazing sunset!

This week I learned that snow is rather pretty and doesn’t (always) suck, that I can survive two days without checking my emails and that I have pretty amazing friends!

I arrived in Canada on Friday for the Great Coast Road Trip! Vancouver, our first stop, has already made a huge impression. Read what we’ve been up to so far.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when we arrived on the peak of Whistler Mountain last week and I found myself knee-deep in snow!

We’ve seen warning signs for bears, sloths, even fleeing people on the road…today we saw one for a smaller, slower creature…so we went on a hunt for our favorite little reptile.

I returned to Germany in time to experience the closing weekend of Oktoberfest – three days filled with roller coaster rides, delicious treats and of course BEER!

Meet our favorite little donkey in the Alps! Every day, he and his wife greet us when we head down to the village. How’s that for a welcome?

While we were staying at the beach house, we had many little geckos that were hanging out there with us – including this one, our personal favorite!

The best part of traveling, in particular this current NYC2NOLA road trip, is catching those glimpses of people around the world going about their every day lives…
