Vegas= Adult Disneyland. I am always concerned when I find a location I adore and want to take people back. Mainly, I worry that the place won’t be as fabulous the second time around. Thankfully, The Chisholm’s, D and I all survived our trip to Vegas, and The beautiful Cosmopolitan was as gorgeous this time, as it…

24 hours in london.
I don’t know how we ended up with only 24 hours in one of the most famous cities in the world. I guess we had too much fun everywhere else, and that is what we were left with. Either way, D and I made the best of our time in London with our new friends,…
avia napa.
What a beautiful addition to downtown Napa, California. The Avia Hotel opened in July of 2009 and has been a staple in wine country ever since. In a land where the boutique hotel reigns supreme, this small chain of hotels delivers chic comfort, affordability and a location that can’t be beat. The room choices range…
wine road weekend.
If you’ve never been to Napa Valley or Sonoma before (or even if you have), Wine Road Weekend is the perfect time to visit. Last year Dan and I joined our friend, Katharine, in the valley for some barrel tasting. The weather was perfection, and getting to hop from winery to winery was a blast….
arctic tundra.
I shiver just thinking about it. Chicago. Barring being on a ski lift in the middle of January in Breckenridge, it’s definitely the coldest place on Earth. Well, at least the weekend I went it was. *disclaimer* please excuse the crappy pictures on this post. My core temperature and thus my sanity were a priority over pictures….
henley vs. the americans.
Yes. We speak funny. And yes, we drink Pimm’s in the winter. Our dear friends Katharine and Saad are lucky enough to live in the charming little town of Henley on Thames in the UK. While on our whirlwind vacation at the beginning of the year, we were hosted by our besties at their amazing house in…
say it ain’t snow.
So far Chicago and I aren’t friends. As D’s birthday quickly approaches, my flight to Chicago today was cancelled. I have been planning to meet him in Chicago, as he has been there for work all week. The plan was fool proof… 2 nights, deep dish pizza, the bean (or whatever it’s called), all making…
business first= bliss.
I was heckled. Down right chastised. All for considering upgrading out 10.5 hour flight from Heathrow to Houston. Are you kidding… 20,000 miles and $500 per person? Silly girl, you could do so much with that. Oh really, randomly abrasive party go-er… Pretty sure they were my miles and my money. So the verbal lashing (that lasted…
dublin.
Enchanting. Picturesque. Friendly. Dublin was all that and more. I have to say, when I first spoke to our friends about New Years Eve, I was a little confused on what Dublin would be like for the event. Little did I know that the city would be so welcoming and down-right fun as hell to…
