Over the years, we’ve done our fair share of Arizona road trips. We’ve traveled from Phoenix to Sedona stopping at artsy Arcosanti, an “experimental community.” Though, I’m pretty sure Kevin was convinced we were about to join a cult as we drove past their welcome sign proclaiming we were entering…
One of the things that Kevin and I miss the most since coronavirus hit has been seeing our close friends and family during these socially distancing times. Before all the stay at home orders and travel restrictions, we pretty much did something every night of the week. Shortly after the…
San Luis Obispo, known by locals simply as “SLO,” is one of our favorite places in California. Located 200 miles north of Los Angeles and 220 miles south of San Francisco, San Luis Obispo is at the heart of California’s magnificent Central Coast. It’s also just 20 minutes away from…
Kevin and I are used to traveling to far off places. But every so often, we just want to do an easy road trip from LA. Or maybe, it’s a pandemic and you’re forced to quarantine? No matter what the case, one of our favorite side trips from LA is…

Valle De Guadalupe wineries provide us with our annual zen moment. It’s basically become our annual pilgrimage from Los Angeles every January — the perfect time to visit with smaller crowds and cooler temperatures. We’ve made the trip south of the border for years, and Kevin and I both agree…
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…
Known around the world for its fruit-forward Sauvignon Blanc, the Marlborough is New Zealand’s largest wine region. Any good wine buff could tell you that New Zealand’s Marlborough wine is among the best. And what better way to explore it than by bike? Getting ready to explore New Zealand’s wine country…
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 can’t get enough of Mexico’s wine country, Valle De Guadalupe. As our readers know, it’s become an annual tradition for me and my husband to visit each January to celebrate our anniversary. Inside a new wine bar/restaurant called Bodegas. That wine wall is insane! I felt so tempted to…
