Rock climbing in Joshua Tree is a bucket list experience. Located just 2.5 hours east of Los Angeles, Joshua Tree…
There is nothing like the drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles, along the California coast. When Kevin and I…

What are the best things to do in San Diego for kids? Now that Kevin and I are parents with…
One of our favorite ways to explore a new place is by doing a biking or walking tour. It combines our favorite things — burning off all the food we eat on vacation, and exploring places often not listed in our well-worn Lonely Planet guidebook. But more importantly — it…
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…

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…
Santa Fe is such a relaxing place. But it can get a little hectic around some of the well-known tourists spots, especially in the summer. The crowds come out in mass to enjoy the gorgeous Santa Fe weather and all that southwestern food. That’s when we decided to compile a…
Santa Fe’s compact downtown is one of the best places to do an organized walking tour. There’s virtually no humidity and the weather in the summer is near perfect. After a quick Google search, I learned that Santa Fe typically has over 300 days of sunshine a year. But really,…
