  • New York, NY

    A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to travel to NYC for a short work trip. It was my first time visiting the city so I spent a bit of time one morning exploring as much as I could. All of my time there was spent in Manhattan (aside from a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge one evening) but I absolutely loved it … much more than I ever imagined I would!

  • San Francisco, CA – Team 51 Meetup

    Last month, Team 51 (the team I am a part of at Automattic) had it’s first-ever official team meetup. We chose San Francisco because half of the team lives there so it made things a little easier to plan. Plus, it’s an awesome city anyway! We even took a little day-trip up to Napa Valley for a little bit of wine tasting! That was especially exciting because it was my first time to Napa.

    My first time visiting Atlanta and attending WordCamp ATL. This view is from The Sun Dial Restaurant at the top of The Westin.


  • Lisbon, Portugal – Theme Wranglers Meetup

    Just before Thanksgiving, I took a trip over to Portugal with my team at Automattic. While most of our time there was spent hacking away at a cool, new project and chatting a lot about themes, we did manage to squeeze in a bit of time for some exploring.

  • England, 2015

    This past September, I made my first trip to England (and to Europe, for that matter). I volunteered to help out the events team at my work with staffing for ThemeConf – an EU conference put on by a couple of my coworkers. This year the conference was held in Keswick – England’s Lake District.

  • Litchfield, SC 2015

    Enjoyed a nice, relaxing week at the beach for an end-of-summer family vacation. Lots of fun body-surfing and basking in the sun!

  • Pear Tree

    This tree has been in my grandma’s back yard forever. I remember eating some of the pears from it when I was a little kid.


  • Wicked Weed Brewery 

    Checked out this place a few weeks ago with a couple coworkers, while up in Asheville.

  • Rogue Rooster Sauce

    I’m really regretting that I didn’t try this. 😖


  • Thanksgiving Weekend 2014

    I’m a little late on posting this, but I wanted to share anyway. This past Thanksgiving weekend (a few months ago now), Jen and I decided to take a road tip up to the bay area to visit a college friend of hers in Palo Alto. It was our first time visiting that part of The Bay Area. One of the days, we took a train into San Francisco and hung around the city.

    We had a lot of fun – great food and great company!
