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…
There are no shortage of Napa Valley wine tours for couples. But the Napa Valley Wine Train is certainly the…
What are the best things to do in San Diego for kids? Now that Kevin and I are parents with…
It’s festival season in Los Angeles — and apparently that’s a thing! My gym has been touting all month that it’s time to “get fit for Coachella and Stagecoach.” But what about getting fit for food festivals? Okay, probably not what they have in mind. But you’ll find plenty of…
It’s easy to forget how spoiled we are in Southern California. I still have flashbacks from my days in Boston — trudging through the snow and (irrationally) imagining that I’d never be warm again! Besides the obvious upgrade in weather, Southern California has a lot of advantages including good wine….
Feeling nostalgic for the 1980’s? Kevin and I recently checked out two hot spots in Los Angeles re-creating the glory days. Or maybe just imagine the 80’s if you’re like our 20-year old assistants that miss about every throwback reference we have (and make us feel totally ancient!). The wall…

A few years ago — before starting this blog — Kevin and I hit the road on Route 66 driving all the way from California into Arizona. Route 66 is like taking a time machine back to the 1950’s. It’s a slice of a bygone era — a time before…
I just got back from a whirlwind trip to the Music City — a place that (before visiting) I mostly associated with honky tonk saloons, cowboy hats and Garth Brooks. I’m channeling my inner cowboy! Having way too much fun inside the shop at the Country Music Hall of Fame…
Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is around the corner. But an overpriced dinner isn’t the only option for a romantic Valentine’s Day in Los Angeles. In fact, your date might even think you’re being creative by doing something unconventional (and not just being cheap!). Lucky for me, Kevin…
In less than 3 months, Kevin and I will officially tie the knot in downtown Los Angeles. To celebrate, Kevin’s friends from his Stanford days invited us up to San Francisco for a low key celebration. It’s a great place to celebrate a gay bachelor party given San Francisco’s progressive attitudes…
