A couple weeks ago my family and I decided to spend Sunday afternoon at Peddler’s Village in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Peddler’s Village is a great place to visit year-round, but I enjoy going in the fall for the scarecrows. All the different shops and restaurants compete to see who can make the best scarecrow and ask visitors to vote. This year some highlights were Gritty, Baby Yoda and the Phillies Phanatic.
Once we were done looking at all the different scarecrows, we headed to Free Will Brewery to grab a beer to enjoy while walking around the shops; the brewery and town allow visitors to walk around the property with alcohol since there isn’t much seating around the brewery. My dad and brother got a beer and I got a margarita from one of the festival stands nearby.
We spent the rest of the afternoon wandering our favorite shops and looking at all the unique items and antiques. My mom loves going into the Christmas shop as it has a lot of different decorations you wouldn’t find at Target or Walmart. I like to go into Artisans Gallery because they have a lot of handmade jewelry and knick-knacks.
Normally when we go to Peddler’s Village we eat at Buttonwood Grill, but the village and restaurant were too crowded that day, so we decided to eat at Pineville Tavern, about 15 minutes down the road.
I highly recommend a visit to Peddler’s Village if you are in the area!

We headed to The Langham Huntington, Pasadena for the 20th anniversary of the GT Tested Reader Survey awards, which meant a jam-packed trip, but I managed to carve a little time out of our busy schedule to visit Chuan Spa at the hotel.

In many cases, less can be more in terms of what smaller cities and small-scale museums have to offer. This is true for Fukui Prefecture, located on the west coast of the main island and best known for its coastline, terrain and quiet towns. While major cities are awash with large-scale museums, bucolic Fukui Prefecture is worth a visit for its assemblage of institutions offering a deeper dive into Japanese life, history and culture.

Come Face-to-Face with Mountain Gorillas on a Trek in Uganda
Not a word was spoken as I settled into a cozy spot on the outdoor terrace just outside the main lodge at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge in Uganda. The air was so still the ice in my single malt seemed to echo off the forest in the distance as it clanked against the glass. I sat among a handful of fellow adventurers, each sitting silently beneath the night sky for one collective goal. Moments earlier, we learned a troop of mountain gorillas had made their way down the mountain near our lodge, and we left our meals to instead sit in eager anticipation of hearing the guttural grunts of the primates below. The chills on my arms never left me that night, even as I made my way up a stone pathway to my personal banda (guestroom). Thankfully, sleep came quickly for me that night as I drifted into dreams of what my next day would bring.
