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….
California’s gold country, just east of Sacramento stretching across El Dorado, Amador, Tuolumne and Calaveras counties, is always an adventure. And I’m not just saying that because it snowed several inches this past visit (which I completely did NOT expect!). We aren’t in Los Angeles, that’s for sure! I don’t…
We can’t get enough of Mexico’s wine country, Valle De Guadalupe. As our readers know, it’s become an annual tradition for me and my husband to visit each January to celebrate our anniversary. Inside a new wine bar/restaurant called Bodegas. That wine wall is insane! I felt so tempted to…

There is so much to explore in Alaska, but where to begin? This year marked my husband Kevin’s 40th birthday so I knew we had to go big. I’ve visited Alaska at least a dozen times, so I’ve earned my stripes in knowing where to go (or not to go!)….
This year marked Kevin’s landmark 40th birthday. So I knew we had to do something special to celebrate (or at the very least, cushion the blow). Kevin and I channel our inner Alaskans! This year’s birthday had to be big — you know, like that big number 40! And it…
Ever since my parent’s told me about their walking tour of Fallingwater, it’s been on my bucket list. The home is located about 90 minutes south of Pittsburgh in the rural mountains of Pennsylvania. So it’s definitely a journey! The drive along the way to Fallingwater. Yes, you’re deep in…
