One day in New Orleans is just not enough. I can’t wait to go back and explore more!We started our day in the French Quarter with breakfast at Cafe Beignet, complete with a glass of breakfast wine (because we’re on vacation!) and some live jazz. Everything at Cafe Beignet is covered in powdered sugar. Warning: more »

We had such an awesome time! Our first stop after a long drive from Tombstone, AZ was the Giant Chile more »
The first stop on our epic road trip across the country was Tombstone, AZ. It was a bit of a detour, but when you’re within 30 minutes of a place that has not one, but TWO movies made about it, then maybe you should go see what all the fuss is. Our first stop in more »
The Mister and I embarked on an epic 40-day road trip a couple of months ago. We criss-crossed the US, from California down through the southern states and up to North Carolina to visit the Mister’s parents. We then went up through Nashville and Louisville to Chicago. From Chicago we started our 18-day turn-by-turn Route more »
