I don&#8217;t know about you, but social media can be exhausting and frustrating, and I never seem to see what I am looking for. Frankly, I am too busy to go searching, but I would love to learn about new things from inside my inbox and not have them disappear (like an Instagram Story) in 24 hours! So here we go!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Travel in a nutshell<\/h3>\n<p>Our travel season has already begun with several fun long weekends! However, 2024 is more spread out (at least at the beginning of the year!) I am trying to avoid overloading every month with multiple trips. Last year almost killed me! However, once June rolls in, we are off and traveling to some pretty spectacular places!

We also enjoyed some great dinners, but not much sightseeing&#8230;the weather was quite cold. We continue to visit one of our favorite local weekend retreats &#8211; Whidbey Island! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/episodes\/a-spectacular-weekend-on-whidbey-island-wa-i-am-smitten\/\">We love Whidbey so much<\/a> that I have truly embraced my travel connections. I recently interviewed Aurora Echo, an impressive powerhouse of a woman who created <em>Wildly Beloved Foods,<\/em> where she makes pasta using only organic ingredients and Italian flour. Listen===&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/episodes\/making-artisanal-pasta-on-whidbey-island\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the tail end of the Nashville trip, we went to Pasadena to visit family! Always a treat! As spring approached we then headed for warmer temperatures in Arizona. Our road trip to Arizona was so fantastic that I decided to create a special podcast episode so I could share this incredible itinerary! The trip included a Dodger home game and Spring Training, new restaurants, a new hotel, and we finished with three days in Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Absolutely epic.<\/p>\n<p>That episode comes out on Friday, April 12th, and you can find the Episode Summary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/podcast\/\">here!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11839 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_8993-600x800.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_8993-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_8993-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_8993-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_8993-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_8993-scaled.jpeg 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/800;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What I am loving!<\/h3>\n<p>I continue to read a great number of books each month and just finished this charming and thoughtful travel memoir by Angela Correll.
