On the Cape
The End of Summer
Summer Travel: Cape Cod
We had the most amazing long weekend on the Cape a couple weeks ago. I’m still daydreaming about it now. We visited a couple different lighthouses (Chatham, Nauset, and Highland Light), explored oyster beds during low tide, had beautiful strolls on beaches and boardwalks, and some amazing meals! I can’t recommend enough the B&B we always go to, it’s called The Platinum Pebble and it’s an absolutely gorgeous B&B with the best hosts!
Summer travel: Nashville
My boyfriend and I visited Nashville earlier in the summer (How is it August already?) and we had the most amazing time. We visited the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum (see Elvis’s gold Cadillac), RCA Studio B for a studio tour, the Ryman Auditorium, and Belle Meade Plantation. And for me, we of course stopped off at the Nashville Public Library (see the great book statue in front of the library) and Parnassus Books, an indie bookstore co-founded by author Ann Patchett. We also had some truly amazing meals. We visited Husk, Nashville from Chef Sean Brock and had this interesting and mouthwatering Southern meal and Chauhan Ale and Masala House from Chef Maneet Chauhan, an Indian restaurant with some influence from Nashville and southern cooking. It was our favorite meal of the trip!
Summer travel: Kansas City, MO
I visited Kansas City, MO for work earlier this summer and absolutely loved the city! It’s a really beautiful, architecturally interesting city with the nicest people! Although I was mostly busy working, I did have a chance to visit the gorgeous Kansas City Public Library and I highly recommend the hotel I stayed in, The Hotel Philips. It’s got a 1920s/1930s art-deco Great Gatsby feel and I had some mouthwatering meals at the Italian restaurant in the hotel. (Literally, some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had.)
