It’s time for a cross country road trip to California. We miraculously kept on track with our itinerary taking us from California to Florida to see the family over the holidays. Okay, we were pretty much packed into the SUV like sardines with the kids and our dog Doug. But…
There is no shortage of outdoor activities in Austin, that’s for sure. You’ll find an extensive network of bike paths, hiking trails and plenty of outdoor tours. When it comes to the healthiest places to live in the United States, Austin ranks pretty high. And Kevin and I both agreed…
Kevin and I are finally getting back into the swing of things. This past month we did what many thought sounded crazy (including us!) — a full month road trip to Florida from Los Angeles. In this post, we’ll share what we consider the best cross country road trip itinerary…
Getting the best view of the Hollywood sign takes some work. Sure, you can see it from the distance from many spots in Los Angeles. But where can you snap that iconic shot that screams, “Look at me! I’m in Hollywood”? My husband Kevin and I have lived in LA…

Over the years, we’ve done cooking classes, ceramics, wine tasting, Spanish and Portuguese classes, painting…
This past Thanksgiving, we visited my sister’s family in St. Augustine, Florida — the nation’s oldest city. And yes, now you’re ready for that next round of Jeopardy! We loved taking our nephews and niece to see the holiday lights. But there is so much more to explore. That’s why…
Full disclosure, this post is a slight detour from my typical travel feature. A little over a year ago, my sister and her family moved from Tampa to Jacksonville, Fla. For the past several years, Kevin and I would visit Florida around Christmas and plan out a fun activity for…
