A big reason for our return to Spain was to experience the sunny, laid-back cities of Andalusia. We debated where to spend most of our honeymoon, and you can’t find a much better combo! One of the beautiful courtyards in Cordoba, where families hang flowers every morning. The region, which…
Madrid is a feast of the senses. After spending the past few days in laid-back Portugal, Kevin and I were ready to hit the ground running in Madrid. Luckily we got our rest in Portugal since the real fun of eating in Spain typically begins around 8:30 PM, when many tapas…
Kevin and I just got back from our honeymoon — traveling 2 weeks across Spain and Portugal (with MANY blog posts and tips to come!). We recommend doing a stop over in London when visiting Europe. It not only broke up the trip, but it gave us an excuse to see another country. Also, you…
Puebla, the landlocked Mexican state located just 2 hours by car from Mexico City, is a fun and easy road trip that will mix things up on your Mexican adventure. It makes a great detour especially if you’re doing 5 days in Mexico City. We arrived! I stand in front…
It’s my birthday! Well, technically my birthday was last week. But in my family, we don’t believe in just one day (a tradition that Kevin has quickly adopted especially when its his birthday). In fact, I’ve earned a (much-deserved) reputation of having a birthday month! I own it. Dinner at Bestia,…
The inspiration behind this blog was not only to find a creative writing outlet, but to share some of the fun and sometimes downright crazy things we uncover. And in the Los Angeles area there are so many great road trips. Just a 20 minute drive, the San Gabriel Valley…
Kevin’s parents are in town to escape the cold and gross weather of Washington, DC (only to get some cold and gross weather in LA!). Over the weekend, though, the weather cleared up and we hit the road and headed East into the desert to visit Pioneertown, a weird and wonderful Western town…
The Christmas time fun continues with the family in Tampa, Florida. This year, my mom planned for us all to do a food walking tour of Tampa’s historic Ybor City, located just northeast of downtown. Let’s just say, this food tour went MUCH smoother than the one Kevin and I planned last…
It’s my birthday! Every year, Kevin and I like to travel somewhere special to celebrate (and you know, cushion the blow of getting another year older!). Kevin had a conference in Atlanta, so we figured that I could fly out and spend the weekend nearby. That’s when he came up with…
It was on a whim to visit Arizona. I’m about to get surgery on my knee in a few weeks, so I won’t be traveling far over the next few months. I looked online and shockingly flights to Tucson are dirt cheap (like $110 roundtrip). I couldn’t even find flights to San Francisco…
