There is no place like Bryce Canyon. And this year the National Park System is celebrating its 100th birthday. So it seemed like a good idea to head there for Kevin’s birthday, too (and make him feel a lot younger!). Today we got up early (yes, again!) to make the most…

For Kevin’s “late 30’s” birthday — I don’t dare say the number on this blog — we did a road trip starting off in Salt Lake City. I can’t tell you how many people asked us in disbelief, “So you’re celebrating your birthday… in Salt Lake?” Well, I guess it…
It’s time to kick off Kevin’s birthday, which means one thing. Time to hit up a fancy (and pricey!) steakhouse in LA. There are so many options to choose from but below are our 3 top recommendations – each offering a very different vibe. These are the top spots that know…
My birthday continues (wow, we certainly know how to stretch out a celebration, right?!). But sadly, the celebration is coming to an end. We’re back to Los Angeles from our weekend in Asheville, North Carolina, but Kevin had one more special night planned — a birthday dinner at Los Angeles’…
The small mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina is one happening place! But this wasn’t always the case. In fact, the town was considered pretty rough up until the late 1980’s before the artists moved in and the tourism industry took off. It’s hard to believe today as we walked around…

I can’t tell you how many times we’ve gone to San Diego since living in LA. About a 2 hour drive from LA (on a VERY good day), San Diego is a pretty easy road trip. Kevin had a conference here, but was able to take a break for a…
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a blog post. Part of this is because I’ve been swamped with my day job. But another part is that I’m slightly bitter since my last blog post completely disappeared. My server had a meltdown of sorts. Sigh… I’m over it (not really!). But I’m…
It’s the last leg of our four-day journey. And what a journey it’s been – starting off in Los Angeles and driving nearly to the very top of California to see the volcanic Lassen National Park and the snowy peak of Mt. Shasta. Then, turning around to drive through wine country, San Francisco…
These past 3 days, Kevin and I have pretty much covered the entire state of California — driving first from LA to Sacramento, then hitting up Lassen National Park and Mt. Shasta. We’re nearly in Oregon! It’s the third day of our four-day journey and need to start heading back South….
