We love celebrating our birthdays (if there was any doubt to anyone who has followed our birthday adventures over the years). Each year, I go all out with a birthday theme. And I have to admit, I had a lot of fun planning this year’s Tennessee road trip adventure with…
One of our favorite ways to explore a new place is by doing a biking or walking tour. It combines our favorite things — burning off all the food we eat on vacation, and exploring places often not listed in our well-worn Lonely Planet guidebook. But more importantly — it…
This year marked a landmark birthday (and no, I didn’t turn 21). When my husband Kevin asked me where I wanted to go this year, I didn’t hesitate and literally shouted Singapore. I gotta admit, we just watched Crazy Rich Asians. I loved the opulence. Plus, the street food looked…
Kevin and I have been loving our time exploring Old Town Santa Fe. But we were ready to hit the high road from Santa Fe to Taos for a big road trip adventure. This is a full-day excursion with 7 total stops mapped out every 45 minutes or so. Meaning…Kevin,…
Kevin and I just got back from spending 5 days in New Mexico for the July 4th holiday. It was tough narrowing down what to do, especially since I kept coming up with one day trip after another. But one spot quickly topped my list — a day trip to…

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…
Sadly we’ve come to the end of our New Zealand adventure. For the past 2 weeks, I showed Kevin around the country that I called home more than 16 years ago. And yes, I’m feeling very old just thinking about it! The best way to see New Zealand is by…
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….
Kevin and I have been in New Zealand for nearly 2 weeks and the action hasn’t stopped. He’s soon going to think that I’m TRYING to kill him. But who would keep this blog up and running? Three words: ultimate job security! Kevin is totally geared for New Zealand. His…
