Hiking Big Slide and the Brothers
Friday night, my sister, our friend Brendan and I drove to Keene Valley to stay a few nights in the Adirondacks for some hiking! I wanted to take my sister up there to experience a hike and thought she would enjoy it! She is in pretty good shape, even though she doesn’t do any hiking, so I figured we could tackle a moderate but not too easy hike, so I decided on Big Slide! Saturday morning at around 8:30 am, we parked at The Garden Parking lot for $7 and it was already filling up! Everyone knew it would be a nice day for hiking, despite the previous night’s rain.…

A Michigan State Wedding
Friday Chris and I arrived at our destination, East Lansing, Michigan for our friends’ wedding! Friday afternoon we stopped for lunch and some drinks around the Campus, and quickly found our favorite spot was a place called HopCat, that had 100 beers on tap! Thankfully they had the option for half pours, so I could try a small amount of different beers! I think my favorite was Soft Parade, a beer brewed in Michigan. Saturday morning Chris and I took a nice long walk around the MSU Campus. It was HUGE! Then it was time to head back to the hotel (we stayed right on campus in the Kellog)…

Memorial Day Weekend 2014 – Ohio City
Memorial Day Weekend 2014 was pretty epic. Chris and I traveled to East Lansing, Michigan to attend our friends’ wedding at Michigan State University. On our way to Michigan we stopped in Cleveland, Ohio. It was the first time I have ever been to Ohio or Michigan. We stayed at the most perfect B&B in the Ohio City part of Cleveland, called the J Palen House. It was a great B&B and I would highly recommend it if you ever find yourself in Cleveland and need a place to stay. We arrived in Cleveland around 1:30PM after a 7 hour drive, and wandered around Ohio City. Our first stop: Market…

Runnin’ of the Green (Island) 4M
This was the first year that I signed up for Runnin’ of the Green (Island) 4 mile race. After hearing about how it sells out super fast and how a ton of my running friends were running it, the decision was made! Nice try photobombing, Chris! I put on all the green I owned and off I went to Green Island. We picked up Christine and we drove to the race start and got some sweet parking since we got there early. Turns out (almost) everyone I know from running was here. After getting our bibs and catching up with friends, it was time to head to the race start!…

Laurie’s Granola Review
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Laurie and Amanda of Laurie’s Granola Creations to try out some of their home made granola! They are based out of Farmingdale, NY and currently sell their granola in a few mom and pop stores and a few farmer’s markets on Long Island. Since I’m all for supporting New York businesses (especially a small one just getting started!) I jumped on the chance to review the granola. I brought a pack to munch on during the drive down to the Catskills this past weekend–a perfect pre-hike snack if you ask me! (But really, I’ll eat granola whenever, who am I kidding.) I…
