Sunny skies, plenty of snow and gorgeous mountain scenery make Lake Tahoe one of the most desirable ski destinations on the West Coast. But what if you don’t want to ski (or can’t)? That was the predicament I faced this past weekend when Kevin’s old boss invited us up to his snowed-in cabin….
There is so much to do in Mexico City. But how do you prioritize? Kevin and I just got back from spending 5 days in Mexico City (our full itinerary here) and easily could have stayed longer. We barely scratched the surface, which I guess means we’ll have to make…
Kevin and I have traveled a lot. Yet, Japan was full of some really strange things unlike anywhere we’ve been. That’s when I decided to jot some of these odd moments down — and you know what? My list ended up going over 1 page! But I’ve narrowed it down to…
When researching our trip to Japan, there was one thing that I INSTANTLY knew we had to do — visit one of Tokyo’s weird cafes. They have cafes with cats, puppies, turtles, snakes (NOPE!) and some cafes that I still really don’t understand (a chambermaid cafe?). But when I saw a cafe with…
Below you’ll find our ambitious 2 week itinerary in Japan. We packed a lot in! So if you’re less inclined to wake up early, it’s easy to scale back. This itinerary hit the mark for us — and can be completed all by train (and 1 bus ride). Just note,…
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…
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….
Today’s itinerary is an ambitious one. And covers just about everything Kevin and I love — foodie destinations, active volcanoes, snow-covered hiking trails. Actually, I’m okay without the snow! And of course, any itinerary with me includes a little bit of shopping (Kevin has no choice here). And yes, all the…
It’s so easy to get sucked into LA’s car centric ways. Before moving to LA six years ago, I lived in San Francisco where I didn’t even have a car. If I needed to get somewhere I’d either walk or arrive on my push scooter (which only in San Francisco a…
