📺
And so it came to pass that on this day she saw R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" video for the first time and her life was forever changed.

Is it strange that I first fell in love with New E Is it strange that I first fell in love with New England clam chowder at Disney? It's true! And there were strawberry margaritas involved too, and I was definitely underage.

Link in bio for the whole story... And also my phone wants to autocorrect to MEW England, which is honestly fine with me.

"The world is a beautiful place to be born into if "The world is a beautiful place
to be born into
if you don’t mind happiness
not always being
so very much fun
if you don’t mind a touch of hell
now and then
just when everything is fine
because even in heaven
they don’t sing

Loved seeing the Sinclair dinosaur balloon in toda Loved seeing the Sinclair dinosaur balloon in today's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! As a lifelong dino fan, he's one of my favorite mascots, and we got to see a few classic examples along Route 66.
🦕
According to @amnh, the Sinclair balloon first debuted in 1966 and was renewed in 2015. Click on their bio to see the original! -CB

A year ago today, we finished the last half mile o A year ago today, we finished the last half mile of our Route 66 journey on foot, walking a few blocks from our parking spot to the 66 to Cali booth on the crowded Santa Monica Pier.
🚐
It was a hectic finish to the trip, fighting LA traffic to get there before sundown, but the rush of the moment made it all worth it. There's not that much we'd do differently if we drove the whole thing again, either! -CB

Worried we might go the entire year without a nati Worried we might go the entire year without a national park or lighthouse stamp, we were able to check off both on a mild November Saturday.
☀️
With the temperature in the 60s, we took a day trip to Fire Island and climbed the 182 steps to the top of the lighthouse. The sun was warm, the breeze was stiff, and the air smelled of the sea. And my new lighthouse passport book leads off with our one and only touristy trip of 2020. -DC
