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, […]

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 […]
