Planning your next Maui itinerary? Have only a few days to explore? No problem — you can easily pack in…
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 time to kick off Kevin’s birthday, which means one thing. Time to hit up a fancy (and pricey!) steakhouse in LA. There are so many options to choose from but below are our 3 top recommendations – each offering a very different vibe. These are the top spots that know…
My birthday continues (wow, we certainly know how to stretch out a celebration, right?!). But sadly, the celebration is coming to an end. We’re back to Los Angeles from our weekend in Asheville, North Carolina, but Kevin had one more special night planned — a birthday dinner at Los Angeles’…
The small mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina is one happening place! But this wasn’t always the case. In fact, the town was considered pretty rough up until the late 1980’s before the artists moved in and the tourism industry took off. It’s hard to believe today as we walked around…
It’s my birthday! Every year, Kevin and I like to travel somewhere special to celebrate (and you know, cushion the blow of getting another year older!). Kevin had a conference in Atlanta, so we figured that I could fly out and spend the weekend nearby. That’s when he came up with…
I can’t tell you how many times we’ve gone to San Diego since living in LA. About a 2 hour drive from LA (on a VERY good day), San Diego is a pretty easy road trip. Kevin had a conference here, but was able to take a break for a…
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a blog post. Part of this is because I’ve been swamped with my day job. But another part is that I’m slightly bitter since my last blog post completely disappeared. My server had a meltdown of sorts. Sigh… I’m over it (not really!). But I’m…
It’s the last leg of our four-day journey. And what a journey it’s been – starting off in Los Angeles and driving nearly to the very top of California to see the volcanic Lassen National Park and the snowy peak of Mt. Shasta. Then, turning around to drive through wine country, San Francisco…
These past 3 days, Kevin and I have pretty much covered the entire state of California — driving first from LA to Sacramento, then hitting up Lassen National Park and Mt. Shasta. We’re nearly in Oregon! It’s the third day of our four-day journey and need to start heading back South….
Today’s itinerary is an ambitious one. And covers just about everything Kevin and I love — foodie destinations, active volcanoes, snow-covered hiking trails. Actually, I’m okay without the snow! And of course, any itinerary with me includes a little bit of shopping (Kevin has no choice here). And yes, all the…
If you love long road trips, this one is for you! Our goal: drive from Los Angeles to Lassen National Park then continue to Mt Shasta, a trip that would take 8 1/2 hours if you went non-stop. But that would be crazy! I get antsy sitting in traffic for an…
