A Winter Weekend in Boston
Some people told us we were crazy for visiting Boston in the Winter since it was so cold but the direct flight ticket prices from SFO to BOS was too good to pass up! There is a 3 hour time difference between the two coasts which affected us more than we thought so be prepared!…
New York in Winter

A German Getaway

Springtime in Vancouver & Victoria
For spring break this year we decided to take a family trip to Canada. We were looking for a destination that would have fair weather and where we could do a mix of outdoor and city activities. The flight from SFO to Vancouver is just under 2.5 hours making it an easy destination to travel to with our kiddos, plus it’s in the same time zone. We began our trip in Vancouver where we stayed for a few nights. After that we made our way to Victoria for 2 nights. Traveling with 2 little ones (3 & 5 years old) we tried to keep the itinerary flexible with plenty of wiggle room for rest and play. Since the weather was a little rainy we found some indoor activities to enjoy that we had not planned for and hope to go back again to enjoy some outdoor things that we missed.

Family Vacation to Hawaii Big Island
Since we had little ones, we kept on the conservative side during COVID regarding travel. Finally we felt numbers were low enough for a family vacation and our youngest kid’s first time flying (before he turns two!). It was also an easy choice since there are so many direct flights from any of the Bay…

Morgan Winery: Organic & Sustainable Wines
A glass of Morgan Winery wine never disappoints. Morgan Winery is located in Carmel’s Santa Lucia Highlands and focuses on organic and sustainable farming while at the same time staying innovative in the wine making process. We love their pinots, they are extremely well balanced and are superb to open right away or save for a special occasion. Their bottles are perfect for enjoying with a summer meal, al fresco!
