Our birthday celebrations continue. And clearly, we can stretch out a birthday like nobody else! This year, I surprised Kevin with a birthday escape to Tennessee. I’ve been fixated on visiting Memphis ever since stumbling across the YouTube clip below of the famous Peabody Hotel ducks. I mean, how cute…
Special Occasion
One of our favorite things about Singapore was trying the street food. And we certainly ate a lot during our 3 days in Singapore. Unlike our typical vacations where we look for the best trendy restaurants in town, this trip was ALL about the hawker stalls. In this post, we’ll…
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…
This year marked a landmark birthday (and no, I didn’t turn 21). When my husband Kevin asked me where I wanted to go this year, I didn’t hesitate and literally shouted Singapore. I gotta admit, we just watched Crazy Rich Asians. I loved the opulence. Plus, the street food looked…
As most of you know by now, Kevin and I were convinced that we hated Las Vegas. Okay, I’ll admit it. We’d totally judged our friends who’d drive 5 hours from LA just for a concert. Like ‘J.Lo’ won’t come to LA? We both cringed at the thought of spending…
It’s unreal to think that a year has passed since Kevin and I got married in downtown Los Angeles after 13 years together. And as we joke, in gay years, it’s even longer! How quickly a year passes. I feel so lucky. To celebrate our 1-year wedding anniversary, we’d be…
Call them hidden gems, best-kept secrets or hidden spots — LA has so many nooks and crannies. It’s definitely easy to drive right past them. Kevin and I have lived in Los Angeles for nearly a decade and yet, we continue to stumble across new things. And sometimes (umm, more…
The secret is out. Paso Robles, roughly 200 miles north of Los Angeles, is producing some of the best wines in the world. Kevin and I just got back from a quick romantic weekend away, exploring both the famed Paso Robles wine region as well as the Santa Ynez Valley…
We love traveling to far off destinations. But every so often it’s just nice to stay close to home. And let’s just say, our latest trip couldn’t be much closer after staying at the LA Athletic Club (LAAC) in downtown Los Angeles for a mini staycation. Kevin relaxes in our spacious suite…
Looking for a unique (and perhaps last minute!) Valentine’s Day gift idea? Or a special place to celebrate a landmark occasion? Skip the wilted roses at your local Walgreens. And don’t even get me started about those heart-shaped Russell Stover chocolate assortments. Trust me, there’s nothing romantic about me eating…
