As anyone who follows us knows, Kevin and I have a pretty adventurous streak — whether its diving with crocodiles in Cabo or swimming at the top of Victoria Falls in Zambia. We just got back from an incredible 7 days in United Arab Emirates, traveling from Dubai to Abu…
Looking for a romantic weekend getaway? Kevin and I just got back from a wedding in Cabo San Lucas, one of Mexico’s most popular resort cities on the Baja peninsula. Cabo makes an easy trip from Los Angeles — especially over a long weekend — since it’s just a 2.5…
Enjoy taking classes and trying something new? Ever gone to a candle bar? Kevin and I are always down for a class — especially as adults since it typically doesn’t involve grades or pop quizzes. Over the years, we’ve done cooking classes, ceramics, wine tasting, Spanish and Portuguese classes, painting…
This past Thanksgiving, we visited my sister’s family in St. Augustine, Florida — the nation’s oldest city. And yes, now you’re ready for that next round of Jeopardy! We loved taking our nephews and niece to see the holiday lights. But there is so much more to explore. That’s why…
Full disclosure, this post is a slight detour from my typical travel feature. A little over a year ago, my sister and her family moved from Tampa to Jacksonville, Fla. For the past several years, Kevin and I would visit Florida around Christmas and plan out a fun activity for…
Kevin and I lived in San Francisco for several years before making the big move to Los Angeles. Truth be told, we had a tough time adjusting to LA after enjoying San Francisco’s incomparable food scene and its walkable bliss. No trip to San Francisco is complete without a stop…
Looking for ideas to celebrate New Years Eve in Dubai in 2020? You came to the right spot. There are few cities in the world that go as over the top as Dubai during the New Year — from the spectacular fireworks display at the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai…
When Kevin and I lived in Boston, one of our favorite fall activities was apple picking in the New England countryside. Though, I have to admit, Saturday Night Live’s sketch riffing on the “pick your own” apple experience is pretty spot on — especially Kate McKinnon’s line, “For just $45,…
Enjoy hiking, but sick of the air quality of LA? Look no further than our latest weekend road trip hiking in Idyllwild, California (elevation: 5,413 feet), an easy 2.5 hour drive from Los Angeles. We recommend hitting the road early on a Saturday (or before noon on Friday) to beat…
Washington, DC holds a special place in my heart. It’s where Kevin and I first met. In fact, I never thought we’d ever leave DC (fast forward 15 years, and 3 cities later). Wow, such babies! An old photo of our time living in DC. Kevin in his flip-flops and…
