It’s been a crazy busy July for us — hence the lack of recent blog posts. But it doesn’t mean we’ve slowed down on our travels. Kevin has been crunching on a big work project — so as a reward, his company sent everyone on an all-expenses paid vacation to…
Planning a trip to Iceland and overwhelmed by all the options? I certainly was! I spent months planning our 10-day Icelandic itinerary — making sure we wouldn’t miss any Instagram-worthy hot spots (obviously!) but also planning stops to escape the tourism onslaught. After all, the secret on Iceland is out — with an…
Kevin and I stayed in LA this weekend (for once!). I figured we were long overdue for a local food road trip. Now, I’m not ashamed to say it — we have a weakness for dumplings. Okay, it’s not the healthy Los Angeles diet regime. But sometimes we just want a little comfort food. Since moving here 7 years…
This past weekend, our friend Kate officially tied the knot and had a destination wedding in Santa Barbara. We had such a blast! Though, such a scenic location can come with a high price tag. But here we’ll share some well-researched ideas and tips to keep your costs low –…
Kevin’s parents are in town to escape the cold and gross weather of Washington, DC (only to get some cold and gross weather in LA!). Over the weekend, though, the weather cleared up and we hit the road and headed East into the desert to visit Pioneertown, a weird and wonderful Western town…
For this year’s Thanksgiving, Kevin and I went back to Washington, DC to see the fam. It’s definitely been awhile! Last year, we spent Thanksgiving in San Diego since I was still on crutches after the first of many knee surgeries. But I’m back on my feet again. And braved LAX…
There is no place like Bryce Canyon. And this year the National Park System is celebrating its 100th birthday. So it seemed like a good idea to head there for Kevin’s birthday, too (and make him feel a lot younger!). Today we got up early (yes, again!) to make the most…
For Kevin’s “late 30’s” birthday — I don’t dare say the number on this blog — we did a road trip starting off in Salt Lake City. I can’t tell you how many people asked us in disbelief, “So you’re celebrating your birthday… in Salt Lake?” Well, I guess it…
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….
In my previous post, I wrote about how celebrities and artists flock to Marfa, Texas. For our second day in West Texas, we decided to mix it up, and break away from all the Marfa madness with a side trip to Big Bend National Park. Even if you’re planning just a weekend in…
