Fave Foodie Stops in LA

My ideal travel adventures involve a lot of food. Actually, who am I kidding? They revolve around food. Eating, cooking, talking about food, taking pictures of food... you name it, if it involves food, I heart it. One of my favorite parts of researching our Los Angeles trip was checking out food blogs and top ten lists of city restos and bars. We picked a couple from the lists and made sure to pick a couple from exploring. Overall, we ate at too many great places to mention so here are my Top 4 LA Spots.read more[...]

Go Golfing in Rose Hall, Jamaica. Trust me, It’s Awesome.

In October 2015, I surprised my husband-to-be with a 4-day mini-moon to Rose Hall, Jamaica. Two days after our wedding, we flew to Montego Bay and made the short journey to Rose Hall for a few days of sunshine, Red Stripe, and Golf. We were lucky to have beautiful morning weather (it rained every day, on cue, from 1-3pm… t’was the season) which allowed us to get our golf on. To say my hubby is an avid golfer would be an understatement. Not only does he love golfing, but he’s also quite good. I know there is professional lingo for that - he's an[...]
