My Wandering Year 2024

As I sit at my kitchen table, coffee next to me, staring out the wide back door, I can see into the foggy woods. It is raining this December morning and the misty forest is beckoning for adventure and exploration. While that isn’t in the cards for me this morning, I am recalling all the new and exciting places I wandered to this year. Please enjoy my photo diary of my favorite wanderings from 2024.

Now we jump to June! I was in Boston for a weekend and had reservations at The Union Oyster House. They surprised us by sitting us at the Kennedy Booth! I was beyond excited to get to see it and have that experience.
