We started our foggy morning with breakfast at the hotel and then a quick drive through Queen Anne to get one last glimpse of the city. Totally unnecessary to see that view AGAIN, but it was still nice to briefly explore one more area before we headed out. At that point, we still had a couple…
The vacation Gods smiled down upon us. With a blessing, a little luck, and some blackout hotel curtains, all of us slept in until like 9:00 on our second day of vacation. A Festivus miracle! — rise and shine! — We wanted to get out of the hotel at a reasonable hour, mostly to fit as many meals as we could…
We wanted to get out of L.A. for a second. We were basically just seeking some cooler weather, to be honest with you. Yes, that could have been as simple as our annual drive up to San Francisco, but I was getting the itch and the urges. You know… to go somewhere new. See something different. Cross something…
I wanted to touch briefly on how much we loved our hotel in Seattle. Normally we stay with Marriott. It’s just a safe bet pretty much everywhere, ya know? Nothing fancy, but we trust the brand. And they are everywhere. But in Seattle – damn, they were expensive. Down by the waterfront was over $300/night the…
Just got home from Sacramento last night. We went up there for my cousin’s wedding and had so much fun seeing our extended family. As usual it was go, go, go the entire time. We kept the boys busy and the wedding reception was epic, by Nugent standards. But nothing sums up the whole weekend…
If I was a musician, I’d definitely make up a song about my latest adventures. This first one would be a country song. A happy little tune that you’d want to play during a backyard BBQ with your big ol’ family. Heavy on the guitar, I would sing about going to Utah, where we eat…
Now that the post-holiday slow down has commenced, let me tell you that it actually has not slowed down at all! We’re booked, every weekend full, until March gets here. Sometimes looking at my calendar makes my head hurt. But that’s beside the point. This is to tell you all a little about our Christmas.…
Home is where your heart is. Home is where you are. Home is where our story begins. Home is where your cats live. Home is where the wifi connects automatically. Home is where your bra comes off. Oh, Pinterest. But my favorite: Home is where your mom is. And I find that to be more…
Well, yesterday Paul took Stevie to visit his grandparents and I had a glorious couple hours to myself! What did I do with all this spare time?! Painted my nails and made a video. Mission accomplished. True to good road trip form, we did a lot of driving and eating. And Stevie did some cute…
So believe it or not, I didn’t take a bazillion pictures while we were up in San Francisco this last weekend. (Only about 200). But that’s only because I was really focused on shooting video – for what was sure to be an incredible piece of memorabilia from our trip. An amazing compilation of sun…
