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…
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?

leprechauns, brits and trolls.

We did 4 flights, 3 hotel rooms (including the Case de Rahim Houdini), countless miles of walking and hours of laughing….

Just a little note to kick off the holidays… Merry Christmas! Love, Dakota
i’m hungry.
I’m hungry… Therefore, food is the topic of the day. Dining out while traveling can be some of the best (and worst) experiences when it comes to cuisine. I’ve learnerd over the years that regional specialties amid humdrum chain establishments should be your vote every single time. Period. When in doubt as to where to go, ask a…
christmas at the brochu’s.
Christmas is certainly one of my favorite times of year. December is one of the few months that Houston has temperatures cool enough to wear a scarf! Between the parties, friends, family and beautifully wrapped packages, Christmas is a blast. The one tradition that D and I started almost a decade ago involves our Christmas tree ornaments,…
