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…
Southern California
Feeling stir crazy because of coronavirus? And looking for an alternative to hiking Runyon Canyon? We feel you. Nearly every weekend before all this started, Kevin and I would climb up Runyon Canyon with our dog, Doug (who isn’t quite as eager about hiking as us). Whether you love hiking…
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….
Make no mistake about it. Kevin and I will never be confused as your typical surfer dudes. But we sure do love a trip to San Diego. Over the years, we’ve discovered there is so much more to this city than just sandy beaches, its famed zoo and the touristy…

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 5 months since Kevin and I got married in downtown LA. Both our families flew out a week prior so they could spend some time with us. While they don’t expect us to entertain them, we can’t help but pack in a ton…
Los Angeles is full of secrets — and we keep uncovering new things even after a decade of living here. Kevin and I recently were invited by Cartwheel Art to check out one of the most unique tours we’ve ever taken: a trip deep into the underground network of tunnels…
Even after 10 years of living in Southern California, Kevin is still shocked that we keep finding unique places to explore. Our latest adventure is a perfect example — just 90 minutes north of Los Angeles to experience culture in Bakersfield (words that would likely produce some SERIOUS eye rolls…
