Los Angeles is known for its Hollywood stars and film studios. But did you know about Las Vegas’ long and deep ties to Tinseltown? I sure didn’t! We highly recommend joining the 90-minute Pop Culture Walking Tour of Fremont Street. This isn’t any boring history tour (trust me, Kevin has a knack…
Let’s face it — a typical date night consists of a dinner and a movie. Not that there is anything wrong with it! In fact, my husband and I have a standing tradition of grabbing food and seeing a movie every Friday night. But every so often we mix things…
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.

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…
Attention Harry Potter fans! Porto — Portugal’s second-largest metropolis after Lisbon — should be be at the top of your literary travel must-list.
