Salvation Mountain

“We’re going on an adventure! Wake up, wake up!” I shook Dave awake, jumping around the hotel room anxiously waiting our next adventure. Technically we were already on one adventure but I loved layering our adventures and adding more and more as we went. Once again, we were up before the sun and making our…

See You At The Bar(re)

Each December, I create a small list of “must do” items that I want to accomplish in the next year. Some things are travel and bucket list items while others are more personal goals that I create to ensure I’m always pushing myself to be my best. This year, one of my personal goals was…

The Lone Star State

Whoever said that your mid-twenties were the years of marriages, definitely wasn’t lying. Dave and I have spent out summer yielding from our usual concert touring to instead, travel around the country to embrace love! First up on our tour de love was a wedding in the hot and steamy San Antonio, Texas. I think…

Learn to Fly

“…Make my way back home when I learn to fly…” The lyrics danced around my packed car, as I turned left onto Interstate-90, taking the first step of thousands, making my way west. I was leaving the place I had called home for twenty-three years in search for love, happiness and a new life. I…

wide awake and dreaming.

I recently watched a short video on YouTube that encouraged travelers to travel their own backyard. I thought about that and actually love that idea. Travel your own backyard, so simply yet so brilliant. So often we think we have to venture thousands of miles, across the seas and into beautiful foreign lands to nip…

Do You Believe in Magic?

Back in January, Dave and I spent a weekend at the Magical Disneyland… and I did not post anything of the adventure. However, I have a few photos and thoughts that I just need to share : ) I truly believe everyone should have a person in his or her world that just makes the…

Selfie Seals

The last stop on Bri’s San Diego tour was the La Jolla coves. I love La Jolla because of all the adorable mom and pop shops that line the oceanfront, the way the water seems just a little bit bluer on this side of town and of course, the seals that dot the beaches. Our…

Beautiful Balboa

Cliché as it may seem, one of the staple ‘must-see’s’ of San Diego is Balboa Park. The stunning 1,200-acre park with its Spanish influenced architecture is a treat to walk around and see for any tourist or local. Bri and I headed there Tuesday morning so she could see what exactly made this place so…

Three Sisters Waterfall

The apartment was pitch black, but in the distance I could see the music room light on- signaling two things; that I must have slept through my alarm and that it was time to go. It was Sunday morning, our neighbors upstairs had just recently passed out from their rowdy Saturday night but we were…

away we go.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. All you need is that initial step to take you from where you sit to where you want to be. Sometimes, that first step is the scariest step you can take. You can be a little unsure if this is the right direction- the one…
