A Private Affair: A Community Wedding
We hosted a wedding this past weekend — a wedding emblematic of a couple’s connection with their community. Andrea Changuris, a No Kids guest blogger and my little sister, and her long-time boyfriend Matt got married in a simple, Greek Orthodox ceremony just a few miles down the road from my parents’ house. The Brethren Church […]
Cleveland Rocks
When I got the go-ahead to attend Content Marketing World in Cleveland, Ohio, one of my first thoughts (aside from the work stuff) was of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I had never been Ohio, but the Hall has been in the middle of my ever-growing to-do (someday) list since it opened in 1995. As […]
20 Hours on the Bay
I have a pretty close relationship with my younger sister, a closer relationship the most older brothers and younger sisters, but that relationship does have its boundaries. For example, I did not attend the mentally scarring event also known as her bachelorette party. Instead of being present for that highly awkward situation, her finance Matt and […]
I Think I’m Turning Japanese… Otakon 2015
Warning: Geek Alert!!!!! My sister Andrea and I got to experience the amazingness that is Otakon in Baltimore last weekend. Otakon is one of the largest Japanese anime, manga and culture conventions on the east coast. 30,000 fans crowd into the Baltimore Convention Center in costumes ranging from Love Live! (a show about school girl […]
Harpers Ferry: A Quick Note on the Fire
A fire that began in the early hours of July 23 in the historic town of Harpers Ferry destroyed several business and irreplaceable history. The two large buildings made of timber and stone that were gutted by the fire had stood for 200 years. I arrived on the scene at 6:30 a.m. and the fire […]
Witnessing American History at the Supreme Court
Here at No Kids, Will Travel we typically focus on far-flung places, but this week we can’t help but celebrate an historic moment right here at home. Back to far-flung next week! I have seen a lot of history during my career as a photojournalist. Some of it on the national stage, like inaugurations of U.S. […]
An Historic Hideaway: Hillwood Estate Museum & Gardens
I have gotten to know the city of Washington, DC intimately over the last decade as a photojournalist, and yet I was absolutely stunned coming across a 25-acre estate covered in trees and streams right in the middle of the northwest quadrant of the city. Hillwood Estate, the former home of Marjorie Merriweather Post (a businesswoman, diplomat, […]
A Pedal-Powered Bar Crawl
I know it’s spring in Pittsburgh when I can go to my 5:30 p.m. gym class and it’s light enough to people-watch through the second story floor-to-ceiling windows. I know summer is on its way when I see the Pittsburgh Party Pedaler roll by. This year I got so excited seeing it for the first time […]
A Dinner Fit for Jackie O
Christos Mediterranean Grille doesn’t look like much from the outside, sandwiched between Alihan’s Mediterranean Cuisine and Café Milano in the 100 block of 6th street in downtown Pittsburgh, but it packs a lot of character and charm into its menu and the 400 square-foot dining room. You might first think that the restaurant is a […]
A Walk Around DuPont Circle
DuPont Circle in North West Washington, DC is probably one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan neighborhoods in the nation’s capital. You can’t walk a block without coming across a restaurant, bookstore, bar, or club. The active, open and alternative nightlife is often what draws the college crowd from across the city. One of the […]
