Posted on December 24, 2008 by TripCart

And even more reasons to get up, get dressed, and brave the crowds at your local shopping mall: 6. It’s social. Bring your kids to see Santa and you’ve got a fun afternoon activity during a long activity-less winter break. Bring your BFF and you’ve got hours to catch up on girltalk. Bring your boyfriend [...]

Under the boardwalk… up and running by the beach this Fall

Posted on October 23, 2008 by TripCart

Here’s a topic I never gave much thought to: boardwalks. And yet, just the other day I went out to Rehoboth Beach and went for a nice jog up and down what was a very nice boardwalk—in fact, as I learned later, it was voted as the best boardwalk in American by Reader’s Digest in [...]

Dread going back to school? Try going back to an old Schoolhouse turned B&B!

Posted on September 22, 2008 by TripCart

This is a new concept that I just came across on USA Today – the schoolhouse transformed to a Bed & Breakfast. Cute, right? Apparently, they’ve sprung up all over the country and provide quaint and comfortable accommodations for couples and families. So for now, forget Reading, Writing, and ‘Rithmetic, and start thinking Relaxation, Romance, [...]
