As with a number of our trips in 2014, we had a wedding to attend, and decided to head out a little early to experience something cool locally. For a wedding of Jen’s family friend in Napa, the choice was clear: wine tour! Along with her parents and 2 friends from LA, we booked a […]
I love to write about the places we visit because so many of them have come to have a special place in our hearts. It’s when a trip becomes a journey, when a story becomes your story, and a town becomes a perfect little bubble. For us, it was the tale of our first trip […]
Our final day in Newport was also our departure day, but Jen made sure to fill my birthday trip (which I had turned into our engagement trip) with wonderful experiences. It was a beautiful and breezy day, perfect for a sail. I threw on my Sox hat and got back to my New England roots, […]
If you’re looking for a great dinner in Newport, head to Bowen’s Wharf and get yourself a table at 22 Bowen’s. From the tender steaks to incredible fresh seafood, we’ve always left very happy (and very full). Our favorites: Cheese Plate – Are you really surprised? Steak Frites – Available Monday-Wednesday nights only, tender juicy steak and perfectly […]
Our second day in Newport gave us a chance to head out on the ferry to Block Island, one of my favorite places on the planet. Since Jen had never been, and I hadn’t been for over 20 years, we took to the seas on a quiet morning not sure what the day had in […]

Day 1 – Ancient Bubbles We had been very lucky to find ourselves in some incredible cities throughout our time in Europe, exploring them on our free nights and weekend at a frantic pace to enjoy some incredible experiences. From London to Paris to Salzburg, these mini adventures kept us on our toes between work […]
We decided long before that our last day at Italy would be spent on a bus tour out to Tuscany, complete with wine and cheese tastings. It was kind of a no-brainer, and a beautiful way to end the trip. The tour was operated by City Wonders (formerly Dark Rome), and this was another great […]
Day 1 – Denmark to Munich We arrived in Munich a day later than expected after an impromptu night in Denmark… Checked into the Hotel Rilano, a nice place walking distance from our Munich office where we stole a power nap. We had lunch at the buffet downstairs with some of the local team, then […]
The Hills Are Alive… With a weekend in Munich (read more) and a successful Saturday spent seeing many of the main attractions, we were exited to get out of town and set our own schedule with the freedom of a car. We had rented a little white BMW Z4 convertible and decided to put the […]
