Coronado and San Diego: Weekend Trip
Visiting Coronado Island and San Diego was a weekend trip for the books. My husband and I had so much fun exploring, eating and drinking our way through. Our weekend was jam packed but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. There is so much to see, do and taste. Lodging We stayed at Hotel Del Coronado (Hilton Curio Collection). I am a Hilton hotel stayer when I travel for work, so the points I have accumulated came in handy here. We stayed in an ocean view room and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. If you are going to stay on an island and by the…

Road Trip Guide
We have taken a few road trips now this December. The longest being 15 hours from Colorado to Wisconsin. Wheww, talk about sore hinder (for those of you who don’t know what hinder is, it’s your behind, your hind-end, hinder, get it). I compiled the below Road Trip Guide, to help you on your next trip. I absolutely despise road trips, and maybe I am alone in this, but there is nothing more boring and painstaking than sitting in the car for countless hours. Personally, if a trip is going to be longer than a couple hours, it’s call a plane ticket. This doesn’t work though when you have a…

Traveling Solo Safely
Whether you are traveling for work or traveling on a fun trip, traveling solo doesn’t have to be daunting. Some people are travel people and the thought of traveling by themselves isn’t even a thought. Some people absolutely hate traveling and it causes them a bit of anxiety. I travel at least once a month solo, if not more and it tends to not phase me. Don’t get me wrong I am not a big fan of flying as I get so motion sick, but there isn’t much you can do about it these days. When traveling by myself there are certain things I do to make sure I am…

Napa Bachelorette Party
You have probably heard me say this over 100 times now, but what a bachelorette party for the books. It was by far the best girls trip I have ever had and it makes me crave more. There is nothing like a good girls trip to soothe the soul. #NapaJustGotHotter was a 4 day 3 night trip. It started out with a delicious breakfast and mimosas at Elways in DIA. 8 AM flights have nothing on me. Six of my babes and I headed from all areas of the country to SFO, where we rented a huge 15 passenger van for us and all of our bags. Let’s face it…

Napa Bachelorette: All the Planning Details
I can’t believe Napa came and went already. Time sure does fly. In fact this last year and a half engagement has gone in the blink of an eye. I can’t believe our wedding is less than 2 weeks away. This my friends is why my blog posts have been far and in between. My time lately has been consumed with the wedding. I am extremely excited to get back to posting more bliss post wedding and sharing my/our life with you. If you don’t know my bachelorette party/trip was in Napa, CA. This trip was all the BLISS so much so I don’t think bliss even begins to describe…

Napa: Bachelorette Trip Packing
I can’t believe the extended Napa bachelorette weekend has come and past already. I dreamt of this trip even before I was engaged and once I was engaged the trip came to actual fruition. It was fabulous to disconnect, sip wine and float on cloud nine. I have a few main loves in life besides my fiancé and pup, and one of them is fine wine. Sipping wine and having girl time/chat was all the bliss. How often in life do we get the chance to take a girls trip? Not enough is what I have to say. Despite this being titled my bachelorette trip, it’s more of the girls…

Car Camping – Fire Bans – Vail, CO
I absolutely love a good camping trip. There is something about being in the middle of no where and disconnecting that soothes the soul. It’s so fabulous to lay under the stars in the tent and just be at peace away from the everyday hustle and bustle. We did a camping trip a few weeks ago with friends. It was absolutely amazing. Not only did we get to relax, disconnect and unwind, we got to do it with friends. The one bummer of our camping trip was the fire bans. As I am sure most of you are aware Colorado is raging with fires and thus there is…

Travel & Flying Secrets
Traveling can be the death of you if you aren’t prepared. Who likes traveling and flying? Who hates traveling and flying? I will be the first to tell you I don’t much like flying. It’s really not my cup of tea. Dealing with airports and 100s of people and awful food (pending the airport you are in) and more. Just really not my thing. Not to mention the turbulence which gives me extreme nausea. None of this sounds very appealing but it has to be done to get from place A to B. I have come up with a few things that help my experience traveling be the best…

Vail Favorites
Vail Colorado, one of our favorite homes away from home. My fiancé grew up in Vail and introduced me to the fabulous mountains, relaxing village streets and shops early on in our relationship and what a place. It easily became a favorite of mine. There is something about the close knit community and uppity vibes that feed my soul. It’s a fabulous spot for a night or weekend getaway and that is exactly what we did this weekend. There are quite a few places in the village we love and I plan to share them all with you as our visits take us to them. This weekend we visited a…
