A Road Trip on the Ring Road in Iceland

Iceland is every nature lovers dream! This country had been on my bucket list for a very long time and when I heard it was opening to tourists again in 2021, I knew I had to go immediately. After a year of no international travel, this seemed like the safest destination at the time (outdoor explorations). There were no reported COVID cases in the country and you could enter with proof of vaccination, so it was easy enough. It took me a year to make this post because there was just too much to cover. I did my best to be as helpful and informative as possible. I hope you enjoy my thoughts as well as the photos that most definitely do not do justice to it! Getting There I took a direct Icelandair flight from Dulles International to Reykjavik, Iceland from July 3-11, 2021. It was about a 6…

Omni Bedford Springs Resort – A Review

I went to the Omni Bedford Springs a few weekends ago. The purpose of my trip was to treat myself to a relaxing weekend, to spoil myself a bit. I chose this particular resort due to its location. It was only an hour and forty five minute drive from my apartment which meant it was the perfect destination for a quick trip. Unfortunately, my experience was not very resort-like. I had never booked something like this before but I was expecting a 5-star resort experience. I will break it down below on how I felt about the various parts of the resort and start with the positives. Location I loved the location. It was beautiful and quiet. There were mountain views from the bedrooms. There were plenty of beautiful trails and springs to see. Spa The spa was very nice and relaxing. All of the employees were attentive. Even though…

Summer Vacation Airbnb Rental Ideas in Maryland/Virginia

I know it’s not summer yet but that doesn’t stop me for dreaming about it! It’s the beginning of February which means the cold is starting to make me crazy and I’m dreaming about getting away! In doing so, I remembered that I took a fun little vacation with the family last summer and never shared it! Because of COVID, it was a tough decision to finally figure out what to do but I think it ended up being pretty memorable for us all. Looking up vacation rentals all over the world is a fun hobby of mine (see list towards the end of the post for ideas in MD/VA) and so far I have only had good experiences. I found this particular one on a whim and totally last minute. As you will see in the photos, the rental had everything we needed and more! We didn’t need to…

Pot Roast

I fell for the Cyber Monday trap this year and bought myself a few things including a Dutch Oven! I have always wanted one and finally saw an affordable one that I liked and decided to treat myself. (Kitchen things are my weakness.) I used it the day after I received it and decided to make pot roast. It was a fairly easy to do. The only thing that’s hard is the patience it requires to cook through. Ingredients: -2lb beef chuck roast-2 tbsp oil-2 onions, halved-1 bulb garlic, peeled-1 bay leaf-3-4 carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces-2 cups beef broth-2-3 sprigs fresh thyme-1-2 sprig fresh rosemary-freshly ground black pepper and flaky salt to taste-1 tsp tomato paste-1tsp chili flakes (optional)-fresh cilantro or parsley (for serving) Instructions: 1.
