When planning our recent road trip in Oregon, there was no doubt that my husband and I would do an Astoria Goonies tour. The Goonies was my childhood. The movie had everything a kid could ask for — adventure, treasure, pirates… And fine, the ever-not-so-subtle ad placements. BABY RUTH! So…
Looking for an escape from it all? Check out our latest post where we’ll take you along the best hikes in Lake Arrowhead. Kevin visited Lake Arrowhead for the first time a few years back with our friend Kim, while I was on a work trip in Alaska. And what…
Kevin and I are used to traveling to far off places. But every so often, we just want to do an easy road trip from LA. Or maybe, it’s a pandemic and you’re forced to quarantine? No matter what the case, one of our favorite side trips from LA is…
When Kevin and I lived in Boston, one of our favorite fall activities was apple picking in the New England countryside. Though, I have to admit, Saturday Night Live’s sketch riffing on the “pick your own” apple experience is pretty spot on — especially Kate McKinnon’s line, “For just $45,…
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…
During our two years living in San Francisco, Kevin and I visited Sonoma wine country on just three occasions. Kevin worked in Santa Rosa, so he never wanted to go over the weekend. But that wasn’t the only reason. We shared one car — a stick shift none-the-less. I had…
So it’s going to sounds weird, but our latest 2 day road trip adventure was pretty much inspired (okay, completely!) by my computer’s desktop wallpaper. You’ve all seen the shot, I’m sure. It’s that unmistakable river bend known as horseshoe canyon. But to me, it resembles an island on some…
It’s a road trip adventure! Two weeks in New Zealand is a good chunk of time. Now don’t get me wrong — Kevin and I could have easily spent a month driving around. But sadly, as our fellow Americans know all too well, we only had 2 weeks of vacation….
If someone asked you — real quick, “Where is the pizza capital of the world?” Your first thought might be Italy. Maybe New York City? Okay, Chicago if you’re talking deep dish. But if you were passing through Northeast Pennsylvania, you’d be quickly corrected. Everyone in this neck of the…
It’s hard to believe that it’s my third visit to Dawson City — deep in The Yukon territory of Canada. One of my favorite descriptions of Dawson City was from a GQ article that describes the gold rush town as “sort of the Marfa of Canada — if Marfa were even…
