Favorite Spots in Napa, California

I love Napa - it's my ultimate go-to destination when I just want to relax. You can't go wrong with most places in Napa, especially in the autumn, when the whole place feels like a postcard with the vivid colors of fall. Some of our favorite places ...

48 Hours in Yosemite

Yosemite is one of my favorite places in the world. It's other worldly feeling, and completely magical. I've been going to Yosemite and staying at The Evergreen Lodge since I was a teenager, and it's become one of David's favorite places to stay too...

San Francisco for Thanksgiving

Someone start playing the opening bars to 'Full House'. We just got back from our road trip across Northern California, and we kicked off a great week with 24 hours in San Francisco. Even if you only have a day in this city, you can see and do plent...

24 Hours in Savannah, Georgia

Whenever someone asks for a recommendation of a place to visit in the South, Savannah is always near the top of that list. The whole city feels like you've dropped back in time, and you fully expect to see Scarlett O'Hara in full period costume on a...
