Looking for the perfect 1 week holiday destination? We highly recommend our latest trip to United Arab Emirates, taking us from Dubai to Abu Dhabi (and back). We outlined a 7 day itinerary that will maximize your time to see all the top spots as well as some wonderful hidden…
We love celebrating our birthdays (if there was any doubt to anyone who has followed our birthday adventures over the years). Each year, I go all out with a birthday theme. And I have to admit, I had a lot of fun planning this year’s Tennessee road trip adventure with…
This year marked a landmark birthday for me. So the pressure was on for Kevin to go big. And not just because I surprised him last year for his 40th birthday with a 5-day road trip adventure through Alaska. Okay, maybe that did create some pressure to measure up! Kevin…
There is nothing like a weekend in New York City. I have fond memories growing up in northeast Pennsylvania and taking the bus from Allentown into “the big city” with my mom. After college, I moved to Queens where I scraped by with a job that barely covered my rent….
We just got back from spending 5 days in New Mexico, traveling from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. As usual, we put together a packed itinerary. Let’s just say, New Mexico didn’t disappoint on unique spots. There was our tour of the Very Large Array — the eerie backdrop for the…

Kevin and I have been loving our time exploring Old Town Santa Fe. But we were ready to hit the high road from Santa Fe to Taos for a big road trip adventure. This is a full-day excursion with 7 total stops mapped out every 45 minutes or so. Meaning…Kevin,…
Kevin and I just got back from spending 5 days in New Mexico for the July 4th holiday. It was tough narrowing down what to do, especially since I kept coming up with one day trip after another. But one spot quickly topped my list — a day trip to…
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…
So it’s going to sounds weird, but our latest 2 day road trip adventure was pretty much inspired (okay, completely!) by my computer’s desktop wallpaper. You’ve all seen the shot, I’m sure. It’s that unmistakable river bend known as horseshoe canyon. But to me, it resembles an island on some…
