Rock climbing in Joshua Tree is a bucket list experience. Located just 2.5 hours east of Los Angeles, Joshua Tree…
There is nothing like the drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles, along the California coast. When Kevin and I…
There are no shortage of Napa Valley wine tours for couples. But the Napa Valley Wine Train is certainly the…
What are the best things to do in San Diego for kids? Now that Kevin and I are parents with…
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…
There isn’t anything subtle about country music icon Dolly Parton — with her larger-than-life blonde hair and bedazzled outfits. There was no doubt (NONE!) that we’d stop at Dolly’s very own theme park Dollywood on our 4 day Tennessee road trip. We spent a full day at the down home…
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…
Our birthday celebrations continue. And clearly, we can stretch out a birthday like nobody else! This year, I surprised Kevin with a birthday escape to Tennessee.

One of our favorite things about Singapore was trying the street food. And we certainly ate a lot during our 3 days in Singapore. Unlike our typical vacations where we look for the best trendy restaurants in town, this trip was ALL about the hawker stalls. In this post, we’ll…
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…
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…
There is nothing like a weekend in New York City. I have fond memories growing up in northeast Pennsylvania and taking the bus from Allentown into “the big city” with my mom. After college, I moved to Queens where I scraped by with a job that barely covered my rent….
