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, […]

Backyard Utah hikes

Basically in our backyard anyway. Just a short drive up the road from home is Butterfield Canyon. Hadn’t done any hiking over here before, but wanted to get out on a short hike to see these fall colors with Luna without making the nearly 1-hour drive over to and up Millcreek Canyon. This was Luna’s […]

Utah MTB: Wasatch Crest Trail

The Wasatch Crest Trail Utah MTB

The Wasatch Crest Trail is a favorite far and wide. Definitely a local fav, but I’ve met people from all over the country and the world who have come to Utah to ride MTB and the Crest Trail. It’s epic! Such a good ride with gorgeous views from top to bottom and it’s been one […]

Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Bryce Canyon

Nina’s friend came to visit us from Thailand for a month and when we asked her what she wanted to see in the U.S.A., she said Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Bryce Canyon. So we made some plans to do a road trip down to Arizon. AZ was absolutely sizzling hot! Pretty sure you could […]

Porsche Cayenne 958.2

After my new to me Audi Q7 got totaled last October, I went on the hunt again for another SUV. Didn’ know I would end up in a Porsche Cayenne yet. I loved the Audi, it was great! It was exactly what I wanted at that moment and I enjoyed it for the time I […]

Don’t visit Venice

Venice, Italy

“Venice, the city of love.” So they say. More like “City of Tourists.” The history of Venice is interesting enough, but overall, we really didn’t like Venice much at all! We wished we would have used that 36 hours up somewhere else on our trip instead of here. Sure, there were some pretty views (see […]

Rome in 72 Hours: exploring and eating our way through Italy.

Lifestyle of Rome We loved Rome! Such a fun, vibrant and delicious city to visit. The picture above is from the window of our suite at the Lifestyle Suites Rome which sits right on Piazza Navona. Lifestyle Suites was excellent. They made everything about our stay perfect. The suite was huge, comfortable, and really conveniently […]

Bonjour! Wandering Paris: Sight Seeing & Food

Just a day in Paris is all we needed! Well, two nights and one full day. Didn’t seem like much to do in Paris, we wanted to see The Louvre and The Eiffel Tower. We landed in Paris on Sunday evening and headed straight to our hotel. We had looked all over for hotels & […]
