Mike and I have landed in one of the most beautiful places that I’ve ever visited. Jackson Hole Wyoming in the summer turning to fall season. Mike is here for a photography workshop and we had the day to play before it begins this evening. 
We ventured out to Yellowstone National Park where I wanted to show Mike, Old Faithful. We didn’t anticipate such a long drive to get there but nonetheless it was a gorgeous and long drive.
We saw a black bear on the way which was my personal highlight. The geyser angels were with us that afternoon. As soon as we stepped out of the car upon our arrival to Old Faithful, we were greeted with a spectacular eruption. With 5 minutes to spare before having to head back to Mike’s photography workshop we luckily got to witness this magnificent sight. Later, I read that Old Faithful erupts once every 90 minutes so we were indeed lucky.

Lake Tahoe No Slippah’s Required

In: Blog

Lake Tahoe, a place that is a must on our stop to the mainland. My husband, Mike, and I enjoyed a couple of days in nature and were greeted with the best weather and activities. We met up and stayed with a SwellWomen alumni, Mary Abelow and her husband Steve Abelow. If you ever need an orthopedic in Tahoe, Steve is the one to go to!
We enjoyed rock climbing. It was my second time ever and such a challenge. Everything hurt the next morning including my finger tips. Would I do it again? Yes, of course.
Thanks Steve and Mary for inviting us to your beautiful home and the wonderful dinner.

I love nothing more than eating Japanese food but I really go crazy over eating Japanese food with great friends…not only Japanese food but Japanese tapas, not only great friends but friends that feel like family.
