When starting this blog a few years back, Kevin and I quickly discovered that one of our favorite things about living in LA is going on road trip adventures — without ever actually leaving the city. We’ve done foodie adventures in LA’s Little India, spent a day exploring LA’s Little…

With all the latest news on flight cancellations, travel bans and restrictions, Kevin and I figured that there is no better time to stay close to home than right now. Whether you think all these measures are legit or simply hype, a staycation might be exactly what the doctor ordered….
Make no mistake about it. Kevin and I will never be confused as your typical surfer dudes. But we sure do love a trip to San Diego. Over the years, we’ve discovered there is so much more to this city than just sandy beaches, its famed zoo and the touristy…
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…

During our two years living in San Francisco, Kevin and I visited Sonoma wine country on just three occasions. Kevin worked in Santa Rosa, so he never wanted to go over the weekend. But that wasn’t the only reason. We shared one car — a stick shift none-the-less. I had…
If there is one thing for certain — the quickest way to put my husband to sleep is by visiting an art museum. Throw in a guided walking tour, and we have a comatose situation on our hands! Kevin checks out the artwork along the Museum Hack Tour of the…
