There’s something magical about a tree house. Climbing high away from the world and escaping your troubles surrounded by forestry. I’ll admit, I had not been in many tree houses until I got the opportunity to stay at The Mohicans in rustic Glenmont, Ohio. Located […]
When I launched Along Comes Mary I knew there were places I’d love to write articles about. One of those spots has always been the iconic Palm Springs. I visited for my first time last summer for a day and it sealed the deal that […]
(Editor’s Note: It pains me to say that 5 Points Local cafe has closed their doors since I wrote this story. I hope to one day return to San Antonio and find gluten-free pancakes as good as theirs! -Mary) While I’m on a mission to […]
Spring is in full swing and that means Summer has practically arrived. I’m so excited to have some trips in the works and especially hope to see the Pacific Northwest once again. My first adventure was last May to attend the IFWTWA conference and at […]
Howdy from Texas! I’m sitting in Java Ranch, one of the local hang outs in Fredericksburg, Texas. Apparently, wi-fi can be wonky in these parts so it’s not surprising the full house of caffeinated folks are glued to their laptops. I’ve been here just 3 […]

When you hear ‘Long Beach’, do you think of the California city here in Los Angeles? You might even recall I lived there myself for a few years. Well, what if I told you there’s another Long Beach up on the coast in Washington, borderline […]

I’ve wanted to visit Astoria, Oregon since I was very young. This is solely because one of my favorite movies back in the day was Kindergarten Cop. You know you know it! Tough guy Arnold Schwarzenegger is forced to go undercover as a kindergarten teacher […]
No matter what you’re looking for in a getaway, you can find it in Seattle. With diverse neighborhoods, fantastic food and some of the best museums I’ve visited, Seattle is filled with options for everyone. I arrived in Seattle, which had long been on my […]
