Weekend Getaway

When we travel, we don’t stay at luxury resorts like these. But sometimes planning a getaway to high-end hotel is totally worth it, especially when you plan on spending the majority of your time at the resort.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how nice it’d be to spend a short weekend on a babymoon [...]

Road trip: Salt Lake City

We took an extended weekend road trip to the beautiful Salt Lake City last week. Thanks to our membership with Priority Club we paid a total of $0 for our hotels during the entire vacation. Have you heard of Priority Club Rewards? It’s part of the International Hotel Group (hotels include Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn [...]

Adventure List: Parasailing and visiting Hawaii

Here are two different agenda items in one post because I don’t have a whole lot to say about parasailing. So why not parasailing and Hawaii together? I guess this trip will kill two birds with one stone (unless I end up parasailing somewhere else besides HI – that could very well happen…)

So first [...]

National Park posters

I love visiting the National Parks. And thanks to Ranger Doug, I can have these beautiful posters hanging in my living room! My only problem is choosing which one I want. Which one is your favorite?

Check out Ranger Doug’s online store… there are a lot more park posters there!

Tuesday Travels: Heppner, Oregon

We’ve been out of town for the past couple of weekends. One weekend was spent in Heppner, Oregon and the other was spent in Vancouver, Washington.

Heppner is a small little town in northeastern Oregon. At the turn of the 20th century, it was a thriving small community until a disastrous flash flood devastated the [...]

Old Los Angeles

I found these neat old photos by Ansel Adams at the Los Angeles Public Library.

A Few Must-Sees

I’m still on a Disney kick, hence another post about the parks. While I am a huge fan of and adore the classic attractions (including Splash Mountain, The Haunted Mansion, Mad Tea Party, The Enchanted Tiki Room, and my all-time personal favorite, Pirates of the Caribbean), some of the new (and by new I mean [...]

The Happiest and Most Magical Places on Earth

I’m back from Disneyland and, as always when I return from any Disney park, I am running on high energy and enthusiasm from the wonderful time I spent there. Thus, I thought it completely appropriate to write about my thoughts on Disney and his parks.

I know there are people out there who don’t understand [...]

California Dreaming

I’m writing from beautiful, sunny, and HOT California. We’ve been running around Disneyland for the past few days and I’ll post about the parks later. Today we spent a wonderful afternoon relaxing at our hotel. I sat out by the pool under the shade of some palm trees and read James Jordan on my [...]

Ocean Exploration

Anyone have a spare $60,000 collecting dust in a shoebox? I will gladly take it off your hands and use it to buy myself a private dive down to the Titanic wreck in 2012, the 100th anniversary of the disaster, with Deep Ocean Expeditions. As their website states, ‘We are currently accepting bookings for [...]
