Camping in the time of ‘rona. Well, I wouldn’t call it camping… or even glamping. Maybe something in between. But the past couple days we stayed at Flying Flags Campground, which is a couple hours to our north. We really wanted to do something different and try to have an appropriately social-distanced family trip. We’ve…
I love creating a minimal packing list from my vacations — not only to help someone else who may struggle with packing, but also to help myself the next time I go on a trip! It’s so nice to have a reference point! And I have to start this post by saying that sometimes I…
A DISNEY CRUISE??? Honestly, I don’t even know what to say about all of this right now! I’m sure I haven’t completely processed what an amazing adventure we just had. We returned yesterday from a week of traveling on planes and ships, across the seas and onto islands. Where the food was never-ending, and the…
Feeling extra proud of myself this last week. A solo trip with Stevie can be an anxiety-inducing experience. Sometimes even just driving two hours to Disneyland or the beach is enough to do me in. So a cross country flight, topped off by a 3 hour drive in either direction, was makin’ me nervous. But…
Can you even BELIEEEEVE that I have written a blog post seven weeks in a row? Considering that like 15 people still read this thing, and you are one of those people, maybe you believe it. But I am kind of surprised that I’m still going. I want to say that it’s totally brought back…
Paul and I were lucky enough to escape for a night and celebrate one of my favorite girls turning 40! I think I’ve mentioned before that this has been a big year for travel because we have so many friends hitting milestone birthdays — and I just can’t be mad about it. We spent most…

Mexico aaahhhh! I feel like I need to take a deep breath before diving into this post. First of all, I can’t believe we’ve been to Mexico City, Mérida, and back! What an adventure. It was everything I hoped it would be, and so much more. Of course it went by way too fast. Now…
Did someone say Mexico? Why yes, yes I did. This year has been a big one for trips and celebrations. Not only did I have a milestone birthday, but lots of our friends are having them as well! Which really works out nicely for us, I must say. One of the bigger trips we are…
Cold Weather Essentials in a Carry-On On our latest trip to the Midwest, I felt like I really hit my stride with cold weather packing. Now, this is no polar vortex survival kit, but it was perfect for temps between the 20’s-40’s. And color me surprised when it hit 42 degrees and Miss California over…
