Whether you’re sightseeing, strolling around a resort or cruise ship, or spending the day at the pool, beach, or water park, it is crucial to protect your skin and eyes on sunny (or even not so sunny) days. This, of course, means sunscreen. And lots of it. Add a cute sun hat and you’ve got […]

Travel Tips: Pack light with the Travel Lux Microfiber Towel by SolEscapes
07/09/2013 by
As much as I love beach and resort getaways, I don’t relish packing bulky towels and other water-related necessities. Yes, hotels usually provide pool towels, but they don’t generally allow guests to take those towels to the beach. If you know of anybody that does, please let me know. I recently read about the Travel […]
From the Bow of a Boat: Tree Frogs, Fish Tacos and Samplings of Summer
04/22/2013 by
We took the boat out for the first ride of the year last weekend. It’s always nice to get back out on the water after a long, cold winter. We do most of our boating and jet-skiing in the James River or Lake Anna, which is in Louisa County, Virginia. This particular trip was to Lake […]

Little Big Town had me at “Boondocks” and they’ll be keeping me for a long time with their latest song “Pontoon.” We owned a pontoon boat for several years. As a matter of fact, here it is….. As fun and convenient as they are, they do not go fast. And that’s okay. But when you […]
Bridges
08/01/2011 by
I love bridges. As long as they’re over water. And the water beneath isn’t troubled. Here are some of my favorites. Bonner Bridge stretches for more than 15 miles across Oregon Inlet and passes wetlands, marine wildlife sanctuaries and long stretches of beautiful beach. It connects the mainland of Nags Head to Pea Island Nature Reserve […]
