This weekend was my good friend Abby's bachelorette party. Her wedding will be in September at the Weisman Art Museum - stay tuned for some featured fits from that sure-to-be-styling affair! But for now, we take our "fits" to a small cabin town in Minnesota, where 13 lovely ladies- almost all Calhoun Beach Run Clubbers- assembled to toast the bride-to-be. With so many runners at the same place Continue Reading
Fresh New Fit: Sea Kayaking the Archipelago
So I now know that Stockholm is an archipelago. An archipelago (i/ɑrkɨˈpɛləɡoʊ/ ark-i-pel-ə-goh), sometimes called an island group, is a chain or cluster of islands. I had to look it up myself to ensure I was pronouncing it correctly! It's one of those words that you read in books all the time, but you don't use in every day conversation. Basically, the entire city is surrounded by water, and Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Running in Stockholm
We drove to Stockholm from Gothenburg on Friday, stopping for a quick venture into the town of Granna. Granna wasn't mentioned in any of our guide books, but one of the people at Volvo suggested that we stop there to buy some polkagris. What's polkagris? Polkagris is a red and white candy, that seems to me to be a lot like peppermint candy canes! It comes in several different shapes Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Gothenburg, Sweden
On our first full day in Gothenburg, the D-man and I knew we had to be up early to catch our ride to the Volvo factory at 8 am. However, due to (thanks to?) jet lag, I was ready to head out for a run at 5 am. In fact, I probably would have been ready to run at 3 am! I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the best way to explore a new city is to head out for a run. Ask your hotel concierge Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Norris Hot Springs
Warm temps and rain kept the Right Fits off the slopes yesterday. As mentioned earlier, we headed into Bozeman for the day. A friend of my husband's recommended that we check out the Norris Hot Springs, located about 30 minutes from Bozeman. "The Water of the Gods is at Norris Hot Springs, a Montana geothermal wonder. Travelers discover a unique place to relax, refresh and enjoy in every Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Exploring Downtown Bozeman, Montana
Some rain and warmer temps kept us off the slopes today, so the Right Fits decided to spend the day in Bozeman, Montana, shopping along historic main street, and enjoying this unique retail locale. Our first stop was the "Cosmica Boutique", where you can find "world finds, clothing, accessories, shoes, home decorations and kids clothing." We both found several items that we would Continue Reading
Fits on the Road- Hiking the Hana Highway
The road to Hana, or the "Hana Highway", is a 50 mile stretch of Hawaii State Route 36 and 360 which connects Pa'ia with the town of Hana on east Maui. The highway is very winding and narrow, and passes over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one-lane. There are approximately 620 curves along Route 360 from just east of Kahului to Hana, virtually all of it through lush, tropical rainforest. Many of Continue Reading
