Madrid is a feast of the senses. After spending the past few days in laid-back Portugal, Kevin and I were ready to hit the ground running in Madrid. Luckily we got our rest in Portugal since the real fun of eating in Spain typically begins around 8:30 PM, when many tapas…
For anyone who follows this blog, you’ll know that if there is one thing that Kevin and I love more than just about anything — it’s a good bike tour. Now combine biking with delicious food, wine and an enthusiastic tour guide… Well, you just sold us! A beautiful morning…
Kevin and I debated where to celebrate our honeymoon — maybe New Zealand? Or somewhere in Southeast Asia? But then we remembered our first trip to Spain — the romantic cafes, great wine and warm weather. Plus, we could easily tack on a trip to visit Portugal, a place neither…
Kevin and I just got back from our honeymoon — traveling 2 weeks across Spain and Portugal (with MANY blog posts and tips to come!). We recommend doing a stop over in London when visiting Europe. It not only broke up the trip, but it gave us an excuse to see another country. Also, you…

The inspiration behind this blog was not only to find a creative writing outlet, but to share some of the fun and sometimes downright crazy things we uncover. And in the Los Angeles area there are so many great road trips. Just a 20 minute drive, the San Gabriel Valley…
It’s been a crazy busy July for us — hence the lack of recent blog posts. But it doesn’t mean we’ve slowed down on our travels. Kevin has been crunching on a big work project — so as a reward, his company sent everyone on an all-expenses paid vacation to…
