The Conrad in Koh Samui is one of the best resorts in Thailand

A private villa with epic ocean views. Our own private infinity pool. Outstanding service and staff. The Conrad in Koh Samui, Thailand, is one of the best hotels we’ve stayed in anywhere. We loved our stay here! Everything from our arrival, when we had to say goodbye, and everything in between was top-notch. Our experience […]

Sunrise on the Wasatch Crest Trail

Riding the Wasatch Crest Trail at sunrise is by far one of my favorite mountain bike rides. It doesn’t get any better than experiencing a sunrise in the mountains and on a ride. Today was likely the best ride on the Crest Trail I’ve ever had. We got some rain overnight across the Wasatch Front […]

The Big Easy: New Orleans

Another trip to The Big Easy! A fun couple of days of relaxing, eating, and taking in the sights of New Orleans. We flew in on a Wednesday afternoon and checked into the J.W. Marriott right on Canal Street across from Bourbon St. First Stop: Beignets As soon as we got checked in, we headed […]

Bikes Bikes Bikes – Moab Utah

Another annual Moab Fondo trip is in the books, as usual… what a fun weekend! Every year I look forward to this fun weekend of bikes and buds and this year did not disappoint. I headed down to Moab a day early this year and got in a few extra rides, including the Whole Enchilada. […]

We went on a Cruise

Not our typical style of vacation. Going on a cruise has never been on any of our travel to-do lists and it’s never been something we’ve even thought about doing! But, of course, we’re always up for trying anything and new experiences. So when my mom and her husband Dave asked to take us on […]

Sin City is foodie heaven

VEGAS! Winter has been ok around Utah, we’ve been skiing quite a few times this year and enjoying it. We have a cruise vacation coming up in March, but, we’re feeling antsy for a getaway so we booked a quick 48-hour “foodcation” to Sin City. We love to go places, stay in nice hotels, and… […]

Hidden Gem: Leslie Gulch, Oregon

We finally made it to this middle-of-nowhere place, Leslie Gulch. I’ve wanted to check it out for quite a while, but it’s in an odd spot outside of Boise, Idaho, and it’s not on the way to anything – except for the middle of nowhere. It’s about an hour outside of Boise. It’s actually in […]

3 Days in The Bay

San Francisco, CA California San Francisco

One of our favorite things to do is travel and eat. So, every year for our birthdays, we take each other on a birthday trip. In January of 2022, I took Nina to San Francisco and we had a great time and ate lots of great food. For my birthday trip this year, I looked […]

Moab MTB

Every year for my birthday for the last 4 years, I get together with some buds for a bike trip to Moab in October to ride the Whole Enchilada trail and a few other fun rides. It’s one of my favorite bike trips of the year. I arrived on Friday afternoon well ahead of everyone […]

Fall ride on Crest Trail

Wasatch Crest Trail Utah Utah MTB Utah Salt Lake City

The best time of year to ride the Crest Trail is definitely the fall! Cooler temps and gorgeous views from top to bottom. It’s hard not to stop over and over to grab another photo. I wish I’d brought my GoPro for this ride, but I didn’t want to mess with any additional gear. Man, […]
