History Nerds and Taphophiles will LOVE This One
If you’ve been following us from winter to spring, you may have noticed a pattern: So, can you guess where we ended up in April?? That’s right, our legendary kidney donor athlete had to go back to Boston to run the marathon. Have you ever wondered what the spouses of runners do after they kiss their person good bye? Why…we worry for their safety; pray for their success; and suffer anxiety while watching their progress on the course, of course! But this time, I added my own walking tour of the American revolution and some super interesting gravestones. History nerds and Taphophiles will LOVE this one! The Cambridge House Share…

What Happens in Vegas Ends up in a Blog
Hello again! If you’ve been following our most recent adventures, you may have noticed a pattern: And this week…the pattern continues! This week we will drink giant martinis, watch singing frogs, and stroll past the Grand Canal. As they say, what happens in Vegas…ends up in a blog! Hi-ho, hi-ho to the Palazzo Though the trips above were for fun and family, this time we had to go for work. (Yes, I actually DO work outside of writing here!) Our five hour flight from Boston didn’t depart until 6pm, which meant we didn’t get to the Venetian Hotel until after 11:30pm. We figured we’d be able to quickly get our…

Rockin’ the Kilts on St. Patty’s Day
As you may remember, we’ve been unpacking our time in South Boston where sang with the band, drank some golden ales, spied on some priceless works of art and smashed some lobster and chowder. All of it, leading up to the reason we were there…to catch the parade and mosh with the locals at the Dropkick Murphys concert at the MGM. Join us this week for an amazing time where we’re acting like locals and rockin’ the kilts, on St. Patty’s Day. The Pre-Game Since our hotel, the Cambria, was right on the parade route, we knew we’d need a strategy to get brunch and a good spot to watch…

Our Last Chance to Hit it Big
This week we’re going to unpack our last two days in “Sin City” for Connor’s 21st birthday. In case you missed it: And this week, let’s talk about how we did with our last chance to hit it big! First things first…a check in on the Beer-a-mid Though this wasn’t our primary reason for the trip, checking on the progress of our “beer-a-mid” let us know how many more cans would need to be emptied to have a perfect structure. You see, we believe goal setting early in the day is the ONLY way to go! Next – Gambling at The Orleans Casino One of the “Twenty-something crew” was supposed…

How a Little Tempest Can Impact Your Day
We’re back from the hiatus we took to prepare for the Boston Marathon…where one of us ran the race and the other spectated. Needless to say, I think running it probably a bit easier. After all the runner’s path is marked, while us spectators had to find our own way to the finish! But I digress. This week we continue our odyssey in the desert, where we explore how a little tempest can impact your day. Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane To celebrate Connor’s big day, we loaded up the Behemoth and drove 45 minutes out to Go Jump in Jean, Nevada. Connor and Savanna wanted to go…

How Smart are You – going to Harvard for Free?
With the Boston Marathon right around the corner, we had to share with you an ABSOLUTE gem we uncovered on a recent trip. In Cambridge, which is a 20 minute ride from downtown Boston, visit the Fogg Museum at Harvard. It has priceless works of art and it costs NOTHING to go there. I mean, how smart are you – going to Harvard for free? How we found it For the first time since 2015, we went to Boston FOR FUN. That’s right, NO RUNNING. (Like at all!) But here’s the thing, we were going to Boston in mid-March. The odds of the weather being warm enough to walk the…

Walking in the Footsteps of the Rich and Famous
This was our third and final day in SOCAL. And after getting to pet the jellyfish and ending the day with a gondola ride, we felt it was time we got our “Hollywood On”! If you’ve never been, you’re in for a TREAT. Grab a cozy cup of something you like and join us as we go walking in the footsteps of the rich and famous! But first, food! As excited as we were to be heading to Hollywood, we first needed a little sustenance to get us going. We parked the car in a neighborhood and walked over to the Clark Street Diner. On the way, we got to…

The Front Row Blues in the Big Easy
After the long epic day of art, pride and jazz, we decided to just stay in bed and take it easy. Just kidding. Of COURSE we didn’t stay in. I mean, we only had one day left in New Orleans, and you can sleep on the plane. Probably. Anyway, join us as we unpack our last day where we visit the blacksmith shop, eat oysters and get the front row blues in the Big Easy. First…Coffee, please I won’t lie. When I woke up on Sunday I was feeling a tad “under the weather”. But I’m not one to let how I’m feeling impact what I’m doing so I ordered…
