During a recent trip to Los Angeles, we decided to spend a day exploring Catalina Island. This was the most welcome break from the hectic city pace offered by the island’s mainland neighbor. Stepping on this island, in the city of Avalon, was like stepping into a European village. Avalon is an ideal place to […]
Last year for my birthday I decided to give myself the gift of time and take the month of May off from my blog. Well, I’ve decided to carry on that tradition and take May off again! That’s right, another birthday gift to myself involving a few less things on my plate for the month. […]
We started out the first quarter of 2018 with a bang! And, here we are already two weeks into April. Personally, I like this time of year because it has started getting lighter outside, and we are finally getting the awful winter months behind us (for the most part).

When I was a little kid, we traveled by train one time to visit my grandparents in California. It took days to get there, and I remember being so tired of our coach seats that I crawled into the overhead luggage rack and slept there. After that first experience, my time spent traveling by train […]
A new year has begun which always has me thinking toward the future. Let me start by saying this – I am so glad 2017 is over, and I never want to experience another year like it. Period. That being said, I always feel hopeful and excited for each new year and fresh start that […]
I cannot believe another year is over and we’re already well on our way through January! I’m really excited to share this last quarter’s travel roundup as we had some great experiences in the last quarter of 2017! These posts highlight our travel activities by offering glimpses of things that haven’t made it onto the […]
