As Americans, we must do our American duty and make the pilgrimage to our Capitol, right? I had avoided it, until a couple weeks ago. I know no one in D.C. right now, and squandered the opportunity to visit when I did have friends there. So, when I got the opportunity to go for a … Continue reading
Santa Barbara, as all the Californians know, is home to Santa Claus during his off season, and Santa always deserves the best. SB IZ BOOTIFUL. The sun isn’t too hot, the water isn’t too cold and the palm trees are constantly waiving at you. It’s a pretty sleepy beach town, but gosh is is amazing. … Continue reading
I have a new favorite city, y’all. Well, aside from Houston. San Francisco is amazing (and the polar opposite of Houston). There’s tons of public transportation, elevation (what is that) and it’s COOOOOLLL. Like, midsummer… midday… in the sun… and sweater weather.

I think I’ll give you options, for an either-or experience. Alas, here I go. I’ll ATTEMPT … Continue reading
You have 24 hours to travel outside the great state of Texas and you decide to spend it in….Seattle! Ambitious maybe? But a weekend trip is a weekend trip and you have to make the most of each moment. So what is the best way to spend the day? A little bit of eating, drinking, walking, … Continue reading
Basically, I had a second in Miami. OK, it was like 3ish days, but it felt so fast! I went with a group of 8 girls for a bachelorette weekend (think Bridesmaids but less sh*t, thank god). Because I only spend like a second there, I feel like you could do everything in a day. … Continue reading
