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. […]
Hawaii. Our happy place. Holden is only nineteen months old and he’s been to Hawaii four times. That’s more than most people visit the islands in a lifetime. And the crazy part is that he has no idea just how lucky he is. The first time we took Holden to Hawaii he was only six months old. It was our […]
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Shell, in which I was compensated. The opinions and text are all mine. How is it already September? It still feels as if summer just arrived and now we can already feel fall nipping at our heels. I can’t believe the season of BBQing, slip and slides, and road […]
Pizza, pasta, prosciutto, risotto, and gelato- oh my! Excuse me while I drool. Those are just a few of my favorite dishes from our numerous trips to Italy. It’s hard to believe that I was 27 years old the first time I stepped foot in Italy. I’ve made up for lost time and have been back at least four times. […]
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Shell, in which I was compensated. All opinions are my own. It’s officially summer! If you’ve experienced the kind of weather that we have in the Pacific Northwest the past nine months, you’re more than ready to welcome the warmth of the sun. With this season comes all sorts of summer travel […]
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Shell, in which I was compensated. The opinions and text are all mine. There is something inherently rewarding about a good old fashioned road trip. I’ve lost count of the number of road trips that Chris and I have taken together. We chased the sunset on trips across Washington […]
It was basically an email that I had been waiting for my entire life. Universal Studios Orlando was opening up Volcano Bay, a brand new water theme park and invited Chris and me to experience it for ourselves. Even better, we were given the opportunity to explore the park an entire day before it officially opened. Unlimited rides with no […]
After a brief stint at home to grow and give birth to a baby, we’re back in action! Once Holden hit four months old, we hopped on our first plane and haven’t looked back. This summer we’re taking a pretty epic trip to Europe. We’re still working out our final schedule, but for now it looks a little something like […]
It’s no secret that Chris and I are obsessed with Hawaii. Alohaphilia, is that a thing? If it is, you can diagnose us. We seem to somehow make it back to the islands at least twice a year. There’s even a very special routine that we have when we’re on Oahu. It looks a little like this: rent a car, drive […]
Iceland is a land of magic and lore. It’s a country where elves are consulted before breaking new ground and trolls are frozen in time. When describing it, Iceland sounds like a fictional land from a Tolkien novel. It’s an island of black sand, blue lagoons, and endemic bite-sized horses with flowing manes and five gaits. And for those lucky […]
