Skootcase

 

I know a little boy who would FLIP over this suitcase. Er, I mean Skootcase, and I mean flip in the proverbial sense (I hope

). It’s a rolling, ride-along, carry-on-sized suitcase with a shoulder strap. Seriously awesome. I think I’d have to make Hudson wear RayBan Wayfarers and rolled chinos with Chucks for the ride though the airport.

P.S. Exciting announcement: I just started a new side project blogging for Babble! Here’s my first post, “Meet the New Babble Travel Blogger;” I’ll be sharing links from over there on Fridays. I hope you’ll check them out!

On the way to dinner

Aron and I finally made it to that Truffle Tasting Dinner–just before the season ended–and it was incredible. But equally incredible was the field of Almond trees we passed as we drove toward Napa. White blooms filled the skyline until the valley looked almost dusted in snow.

It was enchanting. And if you follow me on Instagram, you already know that we went back for more flower-spotting over the weekend. There are blossoming trees all around! So we took Hudson into the Capay Valley on Saturday, and took an embarrassing number of photos. I’ll do my best to contain myself when I share some next week.

P.S. A Walnut grove. And a Truffle dish to make at home.

Love is…

…when even the most mundane task seems incredible, thanks to fresh eyes.

These are the photos I’ve chosen to share as part of WideAngle’s “Love Is” campaign.

It’s all about announcing a new photo app being released: WideAngle. Have you heard of it yet?

The new app is the best way to gather, discover, remix, and save all of your most important photos. 
WideAngle automatically gathers photos from your iPhone, iPad, or any Apple device; from your Facebook, Instagram, text messages, email and your computer. Then, WideAngle enables you to select the Facebook and Instagram friends whose photos you want to follow. All in one place, onto a single dashboard.

I love the idea of returning from a vacation and, rather than checking a million different networks to find out what I’ve missed, checking into a single app. Or forwarding a photo from my iPad even though I’m on my iPhone. Sounds awesome, right?

Here’s a preview of what your WideAngle dashboard might like look, with all of of your photos in one place.

Bonus: Share your own photos about “Love Is” to you and enter the #WAALove giveaway (they’re giving away new cameras–including a Canon Rebel!), and learn about the WideAngle app on the WideAngle blog.

Check it out! And put yourself on the invite list for App once it’s launched.
