Being the outdoors lover that I am, I prefer to run my guts out on a terrain of some sort. I was getting a little worried about the cold coming and my little toes freezing off, when I leave my insides outside. I am loyal to all things Adidas when it comes all my workout attire. I’ve tried Nike, Under Armour, Xersion etc but nothing fits like Adidas.

I started researching (aka Google) different types of shoes that could beat the cold and keep the heat. I was excited when I came across the Climawarm Blast Shoes from my beloved Adidas. I didn’t intend to fall in love with another pair of sneaks until my current pair needed to retire. Could I resist the bright colors and promise of warm little toes? I could not… I hate to admit it but I cannot wait until it starts to get chillier to test out these bad boys.

Sometimes the smallest of adventures are the most meaningful. Saturday my best of friend, Jillian, and I decided to take a day trip to the Adk. Needless to say that did NOT end up happening. After a late Friday night on the town, a three a.m. Wegmans pit stop, and the pouring rain we decided a big fat “no”. Instead we decided to pay a tribute to the Office in Scranton, P.A. Yeah… that didn’t happen either.

When we got in the car Saturday morning we pinky promised two things–drive until we were satisfied and visit Destiny USA (we actually pinky promised the Destiny part twice). On our way to Scranton we saw a tiny sign for a fall festival. Now, Jill and I are lovers of two things– the fall and festivals. It just made sence to hop off the highway and on to the festival. In the misty, foggy rain we made our way up hills, down back roads, past mud roads and off to see the Wizard the wonderful Wizard of Oz! Minus the Oz part. After driving on what seemed to be an endless road we pulled into a long driveway that lead us to Elk Mountain Ski Resort.

What a sight! The mountain was covered in a light mist of fog that made the festivals white tents pop in the rain. After hitting up every tent for free samples of fudge and sniffing every candle we made our way to the lounge inside the resort. In the dinning hall there was a moose head over the fireplace. Obviously we wanted our picture taken with the moose. So we asked a local to do the simple, good deed. Fail. He assured us twice the moose was in the picture. No. No moose. Sadly, we made our way outside to a homemade cookie stand. Jill bought some. It made it better.

Jillian and I roamed the place a little longer before heading back towards New York. A few miles from the resort there was a muddy dirt road that had the most beautiful forest you’ve ever seen framing it. Clearly we needed to head down that dirt road. Good thing we did! I found my future log cabin far back in the woods. Jillian thought we should park and explore. The wood was amazing. I can’t describe in words how beautiful the area surrounding Elk mountain is. There were some lovely trails we hiked that lead us to this adorable cabin being built. Remind me to go back in a few years and buy it, please!

We may have not adventured the great outdoors of the ADK but we sure did have an amazing, spontaneous adventure. Sometimes all you need is good company and a tank full of gas. Yes, we did go to Destiny USA. I mean you can’t ruin a pinky promise! You just can’t.

Welcome home my faithful followers!

After retiring B’s Closet I received a plethora of texts, tweets, and FB comments inquiring about the halt of B’s Closet. I found out I had followers in places like Honduras, Africa, and Alaska. Yes, Alaskans have computers. For those of you who are new to my blogging life– I had a Word Press and Tumblr (don’t ask why I had two) called ‘B’s Closet: a fashion documentary.’ I basically just posted different outfits I wore and featured a few lovely ladies and their style. It was good to me but I wasn’t good to it. I had a wonderful following and loyal fans but my heart wasn’t in it anymore, for that I apologize.

Over the summer I did some bloggers-soul-searching and was drawn to one conclusion: If I love “it” to the point of death I will want “it” more. SO! I want it. What is “it”? Adventure! I have always loved to travel. I mean seriously. I wake up in the morning thinking about where in the world I want to go and set myself some goals. I go to bed at night trying to plan out my futures endeavors. One day over the summer while laying on the living floor doing nothing of importance I thought up a phrase. She eats adventure. It was done. I knew what I was going to blog about. Well the title anyways… I knew I wanted to blog about travel and such but wasn’t sure how. It took lot of forgiving my poor blogging for me to revamp my creative juices and get the flow. Plus self doubt set in a little. I didn’t want a B’s Closet repeat.

I am ecstatic to share my page with you! I have a great team of adventures, that you will eventually meet, behind me to make your reading pleasures that much more pleasurable. I thank all my followers for returning to me and any new person logging on for simply logging on.
