With all the latest news on flight cancellations, travel bans and restrictions, Kevin and I figured that there is no better time to stay close to home than right now. Whether you think all these measures are legit or simply hype, a staycation might be exactly what the doctor ordered….

Looking for a romantic weekend getaway? Kevin and I just got back from a wedding in Cabo San Lucas, one of Mexico’s most popular resort cities on the Baja peninsula. Cabo makes an easy trip from Los Angeles — especially over a long weekend — since it’s just a 2.5…
Enjoy hiking, but sick of the air quality of LA? Look no further than our latest weekend road trip hiking in Idyllwild, California (elevation: 5,413 feet), an easy 2.5 hour drive from Los Angeles. We recommend hitting the road early on a Saturday (or before noon on Friday) to beat…
Who says a birthday should be limited to just 1 day? We definitely don’t! To wrap up my landmark birthday, Kevin surprised me with a special date night at Somni restaurant. Chef José Andrés opened Somni in 2018, and we’ve been dying to try it out ever since. Somni, which…
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…

Kevin and I were recently in San Francisco to celebrate our friend Brandon’s landmark 40th birthday. It was a pretty wild weekend between his birthday festivities and the fact that it was gay pride weekend — pretty much a national holiday in these parts! But despite all this, Kevin and…
As most of you know by now, Kevin and I were convinced that we hated Las Vegas. Okay, I’ll admit it. We’d totally judged our friends who’d drive 5 hours from LA just for a concert. Like ‘J.Lo’ won’t come to LA? We both cringed at the thought of spending…
It’s unreal to think that a year has passed since Kevin and I got married in downtown Los Angeles after 13 years together. And as we joke, in gay years, it’s even longer! How quickly a year passes. I feel so lucky. To celebrate our 1-year wedding anniversary, we’d be…
The secret is out. Paso Robles, roughly 200 miles north of Los Angeles, is producing some of the best wines in the world. Kevin and I just got back from a quick romantic weekend away, exploring both the famed Paso Robles wine region as well as the Santa Ynez Valley…
