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 …
Floridian Vibes – A Weekend in Hollywood Beach
As you know from our previous posts, we love to travel for events - concerts, golf, festivals, and more. It gives us a reason to explore somewhere new. One weekend, Mike decided to buy some Dead & Company tickets for a show in Sunrise, Florida. Neither one of us is very familiar with the area... Mike enjoyed his fair share of Panama City Beach spring breaks during his college days, and I had only been to Fort Lauderdale for cruise departures. So, we decided to just book a hotel close to …

Ski and Stay Free Package – Arizona Snowbowl Flagstaff Weekend Getaway

Why else would we live in Arizona where it feels like summer all year long? I love the lake days, the warm weather, hanging out by the pool, BBQs, boating, and everything summer has to offer. That’s why even after school starts and fall festivities begin, I still act like it’s summer by visiting Lake Havasu, Arizona. …

San Diego Yacht Life
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 …
