Planning a trip to Ensenada, Mexico, and not sure what to do? There are so many activities but where to start? The winding road stretching from Tijuana to Ensenada makes it hard to keep your eyes on the road! We love our adventures in Mexico. For the past 5 years,…
There is so much to explore in Alaska, but where to begin? This year marked my husband Kevin’s 40th birthday so I knew we had to go big. I’ve visited Alaska at least a dozen times, so I’ve earned my stripes in knowing where to go (or not to go!)….
People come to Homer, Alaska, for a lot of reasons — to hike, try their luck at fishing or just to explore the quaint town full of art galleries and gift shops. Quaint Homer — love all the shopping! But Homer is also an excellent launching pad for bear viewing…
