Tacoma, Washington is a city known for its rich history, vibrant arts scene, and a past that is equal parts fascinating and mysterious. Among the businesses that have embraced and brought that history to life is Pretty Gritty Tours, a locally rooted tour company that has quickly become a standout experience for both residents and visitors. Pretty Gritty Tours was […]
I don’t think that it is a secret at this point that Croatia is one of our favorite places in the world. Tawny and I found ourselves in Croatia back in 2013 for the first time and we instantly fell in love with it. So much so that often when we have the opportunity to go to Europe we always […]
I was getting itchy feet. It had been exactly two weeks since our last trip (a brief visit to Tennessee for a friend’s wedding) and I was ready to hit the road. I knew that I wanted our next trip to be somewhere warm (but not nearly as humid as Tennessee was) and that the kiddos would be accompanying us. […]
Thanks to social media (looking at you, Instagram!), the bar for taking photos has been set ridiculously high. What would once be a normal meal at a low key dinner can quickly turn into balancing on chairs, your phone hovering precariously over your banana pancakes as your friends scramble to arrange coffees and napkins for the perfect shot. We’ve all […]

And if we’re honest, most of the time those people (and their babies) have already passed the mark. We felt that the easiest time to travel with a baby […]
Oh Tawny, my dear sweet love. Once again here we are. Somehow I thought you might not need a re-cap of 2018. Boy was I wrong. You always seem to forget what we do during the year and when the clock hits midnight on December 31st you get sad and remorseful as if we didn’t do anything with the last […]
Okay, so I sucked at my New Year’s resolution to blog more. To be fair, since January, we’ve moved across the state TWICE, accumulated clients for new line of work, introduced a half dozen new tours to our tour company, Pretty Gritty, OH- and had a baby. This baby, to be exact. I’d like to introduce you to our new […]
If we’re going to be friends, there’s one thing you should know: If you invite us to travel with you, you better mean it. There’s a strong chance that we’ll accept your invitation and then there’s no turning back. Our friends Jackie and Paul had to learn that the hard way when they invited us to crash their Scotland honeymoon. […]
