Loved seeing all the costumed historians at @colon Loved seeing all the costumed historians at @colonialwmsburg ... really makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time! And of course, you can ask them questions about the time period and they may answer as the person they’re playing! . . . . . #traveleatlive #historicalcharacters #colonialwilliamsburg #governorspalace #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #joiedevivre #virginiaisforlovers #virginiatravel #explorevirginia #historylovers #americanhistory #usatravel

Spring was in Virginia before Ohio, but I’ll tak Spring was in Virginia before Ohio, but I’ll take it any which way I can! It’s almost like we live in black and white during the winter and then God picks up the paintbrush Bob Ross style and starts dabbling ... a little green here, a happy little pink tree there, maybe some splashes of purple or yellow for a forsythia bush! And then all of a sudden you realize that everything is back to full color again, like the movies! I’m fully here for it and ready for color again. 💜 💖 . . . . . #traveleatlive #colonialwilliamsburg #governorspalace #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #joiedevivre #virginiaisforlovers #virginiatravel #explorevirginia #historylovers #americanhistory #usatravel #springflowers🌸 #springfoliage #floweringtrees #pinktrees
The devil’s in the details... like a duck head o The devil’s in the details... like a duck head on the side of a garden urn! The gardens at the Governor’s Palace are to be explored and discovered... not just the maze!

You guys, we left town. We took ourselves to Will You guys, we left town. We took ourselves to Williamsburg, Virginia and more. We soaked up the early spring. We visited the Colonial village. We enjoyed travel for the sake of travel. Hitting the open road, exploring new sights, getting out of proverbial dodge. Those who follow my stories saw it all. I’ll post a few highlights here. First, the Governor’s Palace in @colonialwmsburg. This quaint village with historical re-enactments is a great vacation within 8 hours of Ohio. While some events were closed due to COVID, we still had many to explore safely and distanced. #highlyrecommend . . . . . #governorspalace #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #traveleatlive #joiedevivre #virginiaisforlovers #virginiatravel #getouttatown #explorevirginia #historicalreenactment #historylovers #americanhistory #usatravel #covidtravel

Took a road trip south to Williamsburg, Virginia. Took a road trip south to Williamsburg, Virginia. Have you been? It is such a quaint, peaceful town. In addition to the historic area, it is a college town for William and Mary. You do not have to pay a fee to walk everywhere. You just need a ticket to enter buildings. The vibe is relaxed, calm and such a nice choice for a little getaway. 😊 . . . . . #travelwithme #traveleatlive #travelingthroughtheworld #joiedevivre #williamsburg #colonialwilliamsburg #virginiaisforlovers #virginia #travelvirginia #visitvirginia #getaways #roadtripusa
Sometimes you should look up. And if you do at the Sometimes you should look up. And if you do at the @heinens grocery store downtown, you’ll see this! It’s a grocery store housed in the former Cleveland Trust bank building. It’s also one of my favorite buildings in the city. Love shopping here!

Winter in Ohio... it feels long sometimes. Dreamin Winter in Ohio... it feels long sometimes. Dreaming of warmer places but loving the softly falling snowflakes. Tucked in at home but can’t resist getting out into it, to touch it, to feel the chill of it. Dreaming of warmer places but treasuring home, this moment, a season of peace and renewal, grateful for the still beauty of winter. Now let’s go back inside. ❄️❤️ . . . . . #wintermood #wintervibe #ohiowinter #winterseason #wintervibes #traveleatlive #joiedevivre #hereandnow #bepresent #gratitudepractice #winterwonderland #snowday❄️ #snowsnowsnow #snowflakes❄️ #seasonsoflife #seasonsofsimplicity #snowcam

Checking in... how are you, my friends? January h Checking in... how are you, my friends? January has been cold in Ohio but we are still trying to get out when we can to do some hiking and exploring when it’s warm enough. One of the most visited national parks is in our backyard, the Cuyahoga Valley. It’s considered an urban NP because it borders Cleveland, Ohio. This is one of several waterfalls in the park, Brandywine Falls. I highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area! . . . . . #brandywinefalls #hikeohio #cvnp #cuyahogavalleynationalpark #cuyahogavalley #nationalparksusa #nationalparks #clevelandohio #ohioexplored #ohiofindithere #traveleatlive #travelwithme #hikingtrails

Yes the stockings are still up, I’m holding onto Yes the stockings are still up, I’m holding onto the holidays a little longer. Transitioning from Christmas to winter, December into January. As Beth Kempton says in her book “Calm Christmas”, this is the time of “hush”. The time to reflect on the year behind us and plan on the year ahead. A time for stillness and quiet, a peaceful contemplation. No need to rush this season. Move thoughtfully into the new year with hope and wonder. ❄️ . . . . . #winterdecor #newyeariscoming #thehush #fireplacemantel #fireplacedecor #fireplacelove #traveleatlive #hyggehome #hyggelifestyle #hyggelife
