As our whirlwind through Spain neared its final chapter, Madrid swept us back in with open arms and a final flurry of unforgettable moments. Late-night tapas crawls, vintage treasures at the flea market, and a celebration dinner that felt like a curtain call. This wasn’t just the end of a trip, it was the kind […]

There were multiple options for this beautiful day in May, and all of them sounded amazing, but one stood out. We signed up for a wine tasting at a vineyard in Toledo: Cigarral de Santa Maria, followed by a Michelin-rated lunch after at Restaurante Adolfo. One other couple joined us, so it was Jeremy and […]

We left Girona behind on a smooth, sunlit train ride with an incredibly entertaining woman sitting in the seat ahead of us that I believe had a really great time before boarding the train. But our train pulled out of the station at 6:26am. 😉 It was one of those moments where I would have […]

The streets felt ancient, the arches cinematic, and the stairways strangely familiar – as if Arya Stark might appear at any moment with Needle in hand. 😉 Girona was part fantasy, part flowers, and completely fabulous! That is – after we turned in the rental car! ha! Disclaimer. If you want to rent a car […]

If you love a good winding road, twisting and turning going up and down mountainsides, with glimpses of the azur blue of the Mediterranean poking through the rich olive trees every once in a while, then the drive into Cadaques is for you!

Oh, Begur, let me count the ways we love you! First of all we can’t talk about our 24 hours in Begur without talking about the beaches we visited and the treasures we found. If you enjoy rockhounding, or beach combing for that matter, this is a spot to do just that! We left Tossa […]

When we were planning this trip we had many different ideas of what we wanted to do and we ended up using AI (Grok and Chat GPT) to hone in on exactly the right vacation for us – and after we fed them enough information and details they were honestly spot on! One of the […]

I’ll be honest – Spain was never on my list per se. It wasn’t like I didn’t want to go there, but when I thought of destinations in the world I wanted us to visit it just wasn’t at top of mind. But then we went, and now I think everyone needs to visit Spain, […]

Hello Hello!!! I just came here and started typing, trying feverishly to get this out to everyone since I keep getting messages. It has been a busy fall and I am behind on announcing by about a week by my own standards – HA! BUT I just realized as I started typing that I have […]

Today is a sad day, but also one that I am choosing to turn into something else. My dad passed away a year ago tonight, and just hours after that anniversary hits, a pink full moon will rise. A pink full moon symbolizes different things to different people, but my takeaway was the ability to […]
