Nagomi Shushi | Downtown Ann Arbor, MI #PureMichigan #Travel #NevermoreLane

With the Circus of Whiskers under wraps, it was time for us to visit some fun and funky places close to Detroit where the Drooler hadn’t been before. One stop had to be the University of Michigan and Downtown Ann Arbor, or A2 as we mitten folk call it. Deciding on what to have for lunch was super easy since we all love our sushi. I wanted to pick a place I had never tried before so I headed right for my trusty Yelp app to hit up my fellow Yelp Elite members to see what was on the up and up in the sushi department.

When Your Train Lands in Seattle, WA [photos]

Just chillin’ in the train station waiting on Zuri.

Now that I’ve talked about why I wanted to take a train across the United States (part 1) and a little bit about how that turned out, (part 2) now it’s time to dive in to some sight-seeing!

After almost three days on the train, Sammi and I couldn’t wait to get to the hotel and take a shower; washing away that train. But, we had to sit in the Seattle station for a little bit because our friend Zuri was coming in from Montana to pick us up. I had someone near to my heart who was coming as well, but I wasn’t really wanting that person to pick our train dirt selves up from the train station. Living in WA, they had the shortest drive.

Celebrating Birthdays | When Things Don’t Always Go As Planned | Bowling Green, KY

This year has been full of ups and downs and my birthday proved to be no exception. What was supposed to be an elaborate trip, with many people in Nashville, Tennessee turned into 2 people heading down to Bowling Green, Kentucky. At the beginning of the year, a group of friends and myself had made plans for a summer gathering, which happened to fall on my birthday. Sadly, as the months went by a few of those friends had severed ties and went about their lives. I’m no stranger to people walking away, it’s just the name of the game in life sometimes.

A Quick Trip to Traverse City for Pie {Grand Traverse Pie Co., MI}

A Quick Trip to Traverse City for Pie {Grand Traverse Pie Co., MI} | Nevermore Lane #travel #foodie

My birthday weekend was a lot of fun and I am thankful for that time spent with my Michigan Bestie, but the weekend would not of been complete without pie from my favorite pie place in Michigan; Grand Traverse Pie Co. Once upon a time you could only get this great, wonderful, fantastic pie in Traverse City or at select grocers. And quite often, the grocers sell out of these amazing pies. This is hands down the best place to get strawberry rhubarb crumble pie. The ex would swear they had the best cherry pie in the nation; which makes sense seeing as how Traverse City is the cherry capital. [Read more…]

Where Art Meets Food : Foodie Top 100 Restaurants U.S. 2016 – New York Area

New York.

For someone like me, New York has never really been at the top of my list of places I’d like to live. For the longest time I really had no desire to even visit NYC or even upstate. While it’s not at the top of my travel destination list, I would have to say that NYC is one of the many places I want to go for a foodie roadtrip. [Read more…]
