With vaccines rolling out, I reckon it's safe to start dreaming of international adventures again. #TBT to Spring 2015 when I ate and drank my way through Spain and Portugal celebrating @divalins 40th birthday. Our second to last leg in the province of Granada, Spain and my introduction to Andalusia. Picture taken at the Alhambra with the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the background. #spain #granadaspain #andalusia #sierranevadamnts #internationaltravel #europeantravel

Not going to lie, it was truly the name of the place that peaked my interest and made me leave my couch. Glad I did, it was truly a great find. I recall telling the staff @leos_houseofthirst several times "this place is so stinking cute"! Maybe I could have said something more profound, but I was as excited as kid in a candy store.

I recalled coming in as a wine snob giving may likes and "I'm not a fan of". The waitress gave me a blind taste based on my likes and my I'm not a fan, boy did she change my opinion on a few things and truly figured out my palate!!! She also introduced to a Txakoli from Artomana, Basque County, Spain (pictured above) after telling her I loved Vinho Verde. Side note: #basquecountry I missed you on my last trip to Spain, never again!

Who knew last Sunday when I left my couch I would learn about a new wine and find a new love. #wine #vino #winesofspain #winebar #asheville #gastronomy

My St. Patrick's Day started @sweetencreekcoffee

My St. Patrick's Day started @sweetencreekcoffee with a Caffè Americano with Irish Cream foam and a PB&J cookie from @morsel_cookieco . Yes you heard me right, that's a cookie! Off course when I saw it in it's pretty packaging and display I thought it was a muffin. Cool, muffin will be a nice addition, will go great with the coffee and gluten-free win win lol. Really it's approximately 3"x2.5" of yummy goodness. @morsel_cookieco is known for their stuffed cookies and this baby was bulging with pb&j!

Great finds, both delicious and great treats for a cheat day. The Irish Cream foam added to the Caffè Americano sparked joy within my soul, js... #coffeehouse #coffeelover #coffee #cookies #smallbusiness #glutenfree

#fbf❤️ to my last morning of coffee, reflection, sunrise and photography on Wrightsville Beach. Such a joy to be still with nature and admire it's beauty. Sunrise or sunsets will never get old for me, it draws me in every time.

I'm so grateful that I did not forgo my annual Feb/March beach vacay this year. Not my typical international beach flow, but my heart and soul is filled with joy. It's that winter mental break that's required for a kid that was born and raised in the midwest also know as the frozen tundra...

#TBT When Happy Feet decided to join me for my morning coffee and reflection. We shall call him Earl! I'm sure he was disappointed I had nothing to drop on the sand. Curious has anyone ever seen a #seagull actually feed on fish or any other food besides refuse? #morningreflection #sunrise #beachvibes #beachtowns #landscapephotography
