“Kansas City, MO: ‘Like a Dream’” now up on the blog (link in bio)! Sharing part 1 of 9 stops on our great American summer road trip. Happy Halloween! And keep on traveling! 🌍 @ricksteveseurope Long fall weekend love 🌅📚✊🍻🌅 Happy Scarecrow Weekend! If you’re out enjoying the festivities, check out the St. Charles Equity and Inclusion Commission’s scarecrow on Riverside Ave. which proclaims that “All Are Welcome” in our beautiful city! The last stop of our ladies trip was to the celebrated American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin. Specifically, the Green House which is a magnificent stained-glass solarium imported from Lancashire, England, and restored on the hotel’s grounds as a coffeeshop. The resort is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and we enjoyed the picturesque courtyard, gardens, and library before taking one final, perfectly fall photo! So grateful for these phenomenal friends and our much-needed, ultimate Gilmore Girls/Five-Star Weekend retreat. Taste Buds go to Sheboygan, WI: The Malibu of the Midwest! We couldn’t have asked for better weather or prettier views for our 2026 fall trip 🌊🌅🍂🍁 Official groupies for Rock N’ Ravioli! We ordered so much food and it was all devoured so quickly I just got a pic of my delicious seafood ravioli. Everything was phenomenal. This place rocks!!! 🎸🍝🍷 Took a little solo field trip into the city to catch the de Kooning exhibition before it closes. Taking the train into Chicago, walking down Madison, and visiting the Art Institute is about as me as it gets. My bag is from when I was a member maybe as a teenager or in my early twenties? It carries my books, of course. The soul feels full today. The St. Charles History Museum’s Fall Historic House Tour has long been a dream of mine! My mom took us to so many historic house museums growing up, and we’ve gone to the Elgin historic house tour for decades. I always hoped that something like this would happen in St. Charles so I am so glad to see the @stc_history putting on such an excellent showcase of our beautiful domestic architecture! What a fun way to spend the afternoon with my friend and fellow St. Charles enthusiast @mtheresafaith, too!
