It’s my birthday month — and if there is one thing that I’m good at doing, it’s stretching out a celebration! But this year’s big birthday destination pick even surprised Kevin. When I suggested Pittsburgh, he only had one thing to say — “Pittsburgh…Really??!” But listen up skeptics, Pittsburgh is on…
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…

My birthday celebration continues. And this year, I wanted to celebrate in a place that most people I know never even heard of — San Miguel de Allende in Central Mexico. Combined with a walking tour in nearby Guanajuato, it makes the perfect 3-day weekend from the West Coast. Great…
