home sweet home | new york city | manhattan

The last weekend in September, I had a chance to spend four days back in my adopted hometown of NYC for Andrew & Phil’s wedding (#lifetimeofhoneymoons), and I totally took advantage of the opportunity to play tourist.

home sweet home | washington | seattle | waterfront

A couple weekends ago, one of my favorite aunts flew out to Washington early for a conference in Spokane to spend some time with me in Seattle. It was so much fun to play tourist with her for a weekend! I travel so much for work that when I’m home, I tend to crash…spending time exploring my new(ish) hometown was a much needed reminder of why I relocated.

This is the creepiest Samy Davis Jr and Frank Sinatra have EVER looked. Period. Full stop.
