A perfect fall weekend for apple picking, huge bonfires, and reppin’ Biden for president. @ Crane Orchards U-Pick and Corn Maze instagram.com/p/CFqEp1dpQF0/… – at Michigan, USA

A lovely day of social distancing in the woods yesterday. Happy (filthy) pups, birch tree-hugging, finding skunk cabbage that strangely resembles coronavirus and lots of fresh air. @ Silver Creek County Park instagram.com/p/B9-Ri8Dptmt/… – at Michigan, USA

Is it true?!?! – at Holland, MI

Last week this guy “dragged” me to my first MSU basketball game. Things we learned: Assembly Hall is so worth the road trip. People in Bloomington are exceedingly nice and welcoming. I suck at darts. And the… instagram.com/p/B8B1AfoJw88/… – at Indiana, USA

Grateful for my Uncle Roger, who came up to lend his handyman skills to fix my washer/dryer door issue. What a lovely visit with him, Aunt Carolin and Baylor the pup. Love you guys! And love that I have doors again!! instagram.com/p/B1zShyKhFQx/…

For my birthday I escaped for a day up to France! 🇫🇷 The Pyrenees, the markets, the beach. I loved it all. Even the crazy drive up and down the mountains, sharing tiny roads with all the cows. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 instagram.com/p/By0h867AfTU/…

Día 7: Parte 2. After the hike we needed some beach time and food. My excellent google skills lead us to Playa Laga. It didn’t disappoint!! And neither did the menú at Restaurant Toki Alai right on the beach!!… instagram.com/p/ByshRoogX0d/…

Día 7: Parte 1. San Juan de Gaztelugatze. Better know to all you #GOT fans as “Dragonstone”. It’s beauty was powerful and inspiring. Euskadi, or País Basco, does not disappoint. The treck down then up and back… instagram.com/p/ByrlMPRgmz-/…

Antonio Gaudí’s wish was that la Sagrada Familia be a church of and for the people. Today as I awed at all its beauty, I couldn’t help but compare all of those glorious colors and magical light to the rainbow that… instagram.com/p/ByjCFWRg0OU/… – at Barcelona, Spain

Día 5. Today was lovely. Between Casa Milá, la Sagrada (Sangria, according to Austin) Familia, and the Gothic Quarters, we got our fill of architectural beauty. Lots of happy faces, full bellies, and laughs. Swipe… instagram.com/p/ByjA6XEAA1p/…

Día 4. Well, today was something. After overbooking the plane in Granada by 50 people(🙄), we were sent on a 3 hour bus ride to Sevilla where we eventually got a flight to Barcelona. I did my best at tour guide and… instagram.com/p/BygYtHgAzyT/…
