Superstition Mountains – the free way to spend the day in Phoenix

U.S. Travel Destinations

To give you a little context of how this Superstition Mountains adventure came to be... our 2019 kicked off to an interesting start... I rang in the new year in the hospital and was quarantined for about 10 days after being discharged. At home.. no leaving the house.. no travel.. no events.. no work.. This was a change of pace for us to say the least. Happy New Year! After 3 weeks of being at home taking it easy, I was itching to go on an epic adventure to make up for my lost time. …

U.S. Travel Destinations

It’s that time of the year again - expensive travel time! We know most people travel around the holiday season to maximize their time off. Unfortunately, that typically means you're also maximizing the cost of your vacation… getting way less bang for your buck! But... it doesn’t always have to be that way. This blog focuses on one of our favorite (and slightly cheaper) holiday-time destinations, Ruidoso, New Mexico. Ruidoso is a small New Mexican town with a population of about 8,000 and …

Boulder, Colorado – The Perfect Weekend Getaway

U.S. Travel Destinations

With summer fading away into fall, I started thinking of all the crazy back-to-back trips and red-eyes we accomplished this season, but there was one that definitely stood out and would make a perfect Fall Break (since we can't wait to go back) - Boulder, Colorado. We were totally blown away by how fun, beautiful, and unique Boulder was. This trip all started in January when Mike announced his 30th birthday present would be seeing back-to-back Dead & Company shows in Boulder, CO. From …

Guys Golf Trip – Munds Park, AZ

U.S. Travel Destinations

We usually travel together, but sometimes we have our own adventures as well. But one summer weekend, we both set off on our own adventures - Taylor headed south of the border to Puerto Peñasco, Mexico (blog to come soon), while I headed north towards Flagstaff, Arizona for a weekend of golf with some friends. While a lot of locals know about Munds Park, it's not as common of a destination for out-of-staters... This blog is to let you know why this small town should be on your radar. If you …

Ski and Stay Free Package – Arizona Snowbowl Flagstaff Weekend Getaway

U.S. Travel Destinations

Please be aware that some of the information in this post may change due to COVID-19. Snow… in Arizona?? Most people don’t think of skiing and snowboarding when they think of Arizona. How is it possible to have snow in the desert? I get that question a lot! Well, one of the reasons our home base is in Arizona is because of how easily we can get to the beach, hiking, lakes, and snow! We are able to drive to almost any climate in about 5 hours, making it the perfect place to lay roots if …

San Diego Yacht Life

U.S. Travel Destinations

Most husbands find it a little tricky to pick out a gift for their wives. They think about getting jewelry, realize she probably won’t like it anyway. They might get roses, but those only last so long. Maybe a spa day or massage membership, but finding the time to use it becomes an issue. So, I have to say… my mom and I are very lucky that our husbands buy us adventures for our gifts! One Sunday, as Mike and my stepdad, Paul, were golfing, they started talking about Christmas gift ideas for …
