So what do we do on our first day off since October? We ride, of course! But start the day with a beautiful church service at North Shore Christian Church. After a healthy dose of spirituality, we got on our bikes and hit some trails (in an undisclosed location for legal reasons). We packed accordingly, and were able to do a quick photoshoot for our newest candle - OFF ROAD - a fragrance blend of pine, laurel, amber, and tree sap with a pop of tonic that's absolutely spring-in-a-candle and happened to be our best-seller this past weekend at our moto boutique. Then we took the "twistiest" route to the South Shore Dive in Sayville. Although we know it rocks for Tuesday night trivia, we couldn't wait to try their brunch and it did NOT disappoint. We were greeted by one of our favorite bartenders, Peter, then enjoyed some mimosas. But the highlight was truly their delicious and diverse menu. The selection was creative and unique without being over-the-top. Think: a fresh combination of comfort foods.

My much awaited first trip to New Orleans was incredible! Finally, after COVID restrictions, job and financial restrictions, and all other possible road blocks were eliminated, we were able to make a Valentine’s Day trip to NOLA.
Since Clay had been there before, and had idea of what he wanted to show me, we made very little plans other than a few tours I knew we couldn’t miss. Day one we stayed in a romantic AirBNB just outside the Quarter on Frenchmen Street. This is a great area if you want the charm of the Quarter, without the chaos. “The Red Room” featured beautiful Victorian furniture, local artwork highlighting the music scene, and even a few spooky elements. Our host was also very accommodating and, instantly we were relaxed. Another successful motocamping trip in the books! This time, we had to outrun Hurricane Henri so our trip was cut short by a day. But judging by the video below, it didn't hinder our endless excitement and adventure. We were able to hit all the awesome places - Hayfields Cafe, Hardscrabble Farmstand, Angry Orchard Cider House, Tusten Cup, Hawks Nest, and the Irish Whisper Public House. Safe bet that Danielle's first motocamping trip is the beginning of many more to come! Now, watch the video... |
