Looking for a romantic weekend getaway? Kevin and I just got back from a wedding in Cabo San Lucas, one of Mexico’s most popular resort cities on the Baja peninsula. Cabo makes an easy trip from Los Angeles — especially over a long weekend — since it’s just a 2.5…
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…
When Kevin and I lived in Boston, one of our favorite fall activities was apple picking in the New England countryside. Though, I have to admit, Saturday Night Live’s sketch riffing on the “pick your own” apple experience is pretty spot on — especially Kate McKinnon’s line, “For just $45,…
Enjoy hiking, but sick of the air quality of LA? Look no further than our latest weekend road trip hiking in Idyllwild, California (elevation: 5,413 feet), an easy 2.5 hour drive from Los Angeles. We recommend hitting the road early on a Saturday (or before noon on Friday) to beat…
Washington, DC holds a special place in my heart. It’s where Kevin and I first met. In fact, I never thought we’d ever leave DC (fast forward 15 years, and 3 cities later). Wow, such babies! An old photo of our time living in DC. Kevin in his flip-flops and…
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 (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…
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….
Back roads can often lead to unexpected adventures. Venture off the freeway onto the Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway, and you’ll see what we mean. The historic area encompasses more than 15,000 square miles in the heart of central New Mexico, linking Albuquerque to Santa Fe. Long empty highway from…
Kevin and I were recently in San Francisco to celebrate our friend Brandon’s landmark 40th birthday. It was a pretty wild weekend between his birthday festivities and the fact that it was gay pride weekend — pretty much a national holiday in these parts! But despite all this, Kevin and…
