What’s Gone Down
Here’s what’s been happening in the travel corner of our world over the last several months! Read more
Our 80/20 Rule for Travel, Life and Work
When we last wrote, we left you with our best eats in Italy. Prior to that, we shared the views from our calorie-busting run and some of our favorite photos. Read more 
La Dolce Vita
We forced ourselves to do it. We’ve picked our top 5 plates and our top 5 desserts from Italy! Read more
Our Best of Italy
Close your eyes and picture Italy’s countryside. Got it in your mind? Okay, good.
Well, that’s not what it’s like here in Tuscany today (it’s blustery), making it a great time for an update. Read more
Local Travel
Having enjoyed Milan for a few days, we’re now living like locals in the Piedmont region of Italy. It feels great. Read more
How to Stop Thinking Small
“You guys have got to weigh in on this debate,” said our friend’s e-mail.
I figured I’d check it out. Awake and chugging coffee early in the morning, I had nothing better to do in my jet lag induced haze here in Italy. Read more
Have Food? We’ll Travel
The last few months in our world have been like no other.
Work is at an all-time-busy, we’re making some big life decisions and we’ve strung together a sequence of “best of” travel experiences that we’ve coined our Ultimate Honeymoon (in honor of finally having a legal marriage that is expected to stick). Read more

National Parks were a big part of the motivation behind planning this segment of our current adventure – the Pacific Coast road trip. As National Park maniacs, it was becoming – with each passing year – more and more unacceptable that we hadn’t yet made it to Yosemite. That’s as bad as being a gambler who hasn’t been to Las Vegas.

Rallying in the USA
A lot has been going on. Time to get you all caught up. We’re married (in a way that will stick this time). We’ve started our Ultimate Honeymoon (why not celebrate with a sequence of “best of” travel experiences?). Read more
Grazing at The Herbfarm
When the chef said that the evening’s 9-course, 6-wine menu had three desserts, I almost had an excitement seizure. Read more
Travel Plans + Video!
Here we are in the blazing, mid-day sun for our video debut. While we wish we would have filmed during golden hour, you take what you can get in Seattle. Read more
Finding the Chill in Hawaii and Costa Rica
None of our adventures beat those in which we find ourselves in a chill, restorative environment. It seems we’re half crazy half the time (especially lately), so we love – more than anything – accommodations that dilute the crazy quotient. Read more
Taking a Beat
We had a bit of a self smack-down in NVR-land, and it all started with this advice to a friend: Read more
Keep It To Yourself
We recently caught up with some friends who are about to have a baby. Before we could even ask, Lynn said, “We’re not telling anyone the sex of the baby until it’s born.”
“Good for you!” we both blurted out. Read more
Three Self-Employment Surprises
It’s time for an update on the under-discussed arm of our NVR life. Work. Read more
