3 Days in The Bay
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
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, […]
Utah MTB: Wasatch Crest Trail
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 […]
Don’t visit Venice
“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 & […]
Viva Barcelona! Epic 4 days in Spain
Spain was our favorite! So many things to love about Spain. Food, people, culture, food, art, the transportation system, and, definitely the food! After our little backpack debacle in Amsterdam, we were happy to finally finish the first leg of our EuroTrip and land in Barcelona. We got in around 7 pm and hopped in […]
Off to Europe: First stop Amsterdam
Let’s stop in Amsterdam! We’ve been talking about a Europe vacation for years and we finally did it! We didn’t plan this one for very long, it was more or less last minute. Nina and I were talking one day in March while I was traveling on a business trip and she said, “I want […]
