Hit Harris Ranch by 8:00 am, that is the plan. We visit the Palm Springs area every winter because my parents are Minnesota snow birds, flying to the desert to escape the frozen tundra. So we drive to see them from the Ba ..read more

As Tina and I were nearing Sonoma there was a billboard for Gloria Ferrer that, in my humble opinion, was brilliant. It featured two glasses of sparkling wine and said something to the effect of “10 minutes to the perfect moment”. Tina was wrapping up a conference call when we passed the sign. Earlier in the morning, just as I was packing the car and getting ready to leave, my dog was limping around the house and I had to decide if she needed an x-ray or just simply rest for some type of strained muscle. (Before I go on, it was a strained muscle and she is fine). So yes, that perfect mom ..read more

While pursuing our mission of finding waterfalls in Durango, I was grateful that my friend Jessica’s has a 4 wheel drive truck. We were heading to a trail with two potential starting points. The first trailhead does not require 4WD, but the second one does. We did not have time for the full hike, so headed higher up the mountain two that second trailhead.
My daughter had the idea of looking for hidden waterfalls while we were in Durango, and it was the perfect plan. There are several, and with each waterfall comes a gorgeous hike. On this particular day we had driven about 25 minutes north of ..read more

North Lake Tahoe makes a perfect fall getaway. You experience crisp air and turning leaves of fall. Because fall is more of a shoulder season, you do not experience all the crowds that are there in in the summer and winter.
Getting To North Lake Tahoe
Our family typically goes to North Tahoe, so we take 80 past Sacramento and over Donner Pass. With no traffic, the drive takes about three and a half hours to Truckee, and four hours to Tahoe City. It is critical to time your drive well! We went over Labor Day weekend and did a terrible job. It ultimately took us six ..read more

The best travel planning advice I ever received was from my parents. They took me on a trip to Italy when I was in my late 20s. I had just quit my job in San Francisco and about to start business school in the fall. It was the perfect time to get away.
We stayed in a house in the countryside (pre VRBO even, I have no idea how my mom found it!). We rented a car and visited all the sites of Tuscany, the Cinque Terra and more. It was on that trip that I learned to do my research, but not over plan.
In search of a great lunch
On this trip we wanted to see all the sites, enjoy the great food, but n ..read more
