I recently took a fabulous trip to Loudoun [pronounce Lough-done] County, Virginia, otherwise known as DC’s Wine Country (teaser was here). Three days of wining and dining made for one very happy traveler! I’ll let the pictures speak for the highlights of the trip. Resources: Lansdowne Resort – Big, lush resort property with nice rooms, lots…

Teaser: Get Lost in Loudoun
I mentioned in Feel Good Friday that I went off on a press trip, to Loudoun County, Virginia. While I work on compiling all the photos and notes from the trip, you can check out the fun new web show Loudoun produced called Get Lost in Loudoun. It’s funny, the majority of the cast is…
Take Me There: Napa Valley
Despite my love for wine, travel, and the sunshine of California, I have not ever been to Napa Valley. Sad panda. Just another reason to visit: Austin hotspot and “Best New Restaurant” James Beard Foundation Award nominee La Condesa just opened an outpost (view my coverage of the Austin location’s drinks here and food here). La Condesa…
Hitting up the gyms while traveling
I’m traveling and sticking to the .com schedule, so I had to find a pullup bar yesterday for 2-2-2-2-2-2-2 weighted pullups. I stopped into Boston’s Equinox gym, thinking I could enjoy a pampering hot tub dip and other amenities after my workout, only to be told that they don’t do day passes. Really?! I can’t…
Food + Travel = Perfect
It’s the weekend, so let’s all dream of vacations, particularly those in my beloved Italy, shall we? Petite Peche & Co., a boutique culinary travel food company based in Austin, recently released its schedule of culinary tours throughout 2011, complete with French and Italian destinations. Travelers can choose a “city” or “country” experience, both of…
Airports
As it turns out, I spend a lot of time in them, though not usually quite as much as I have trying to get out of Aspen in a blizzard or back into Aspen during a really windy day… where I end up driving with a family of four from New York from Denver to…
Airplane WOD!
I’m traveling today, back to the A for ACL and a lil EndlessBeauty.com face time, and you better believe I’ll be doing my mobility WOD on the plane! Another thing he mentions here that I find absolutely crucial to travel (since I fly at least 4 flights a month these days) is drinking water. Not…
Ooops, I was on vacation…
… and forgot to blog! The Games were happenin’ and I was watching my buddies compete (y’all are badasses!!) and I had access to a gym so I was rocking some barbell workouts and playing some sand volleyball with my fam. Workouts: 7/16: CrossFit Football Snatch Workout (modified): Complete 8 rounds: 2 Power Snatches 4…
Some thoughts from D.C.
I’m back from D.C. to some rain in the ATX, but it’s supposed to be 80 later this afternoon. I took the Texas weather with me to DC and we enjoyed blue skies and 60-70 degree weather my entire trip–so maybe I just caught it at a good time, but I loved DC. The thing…
