  • Who knew LA & Wrightwood could be so much fun?

    Recently, my brother, Don, visited me in Los Angeles. We started off the week by trying the Top Chef winner Michael Voltaggio’s ink.sack on Melrose Avenue. Delicious and inexpensive food! We were both very stoked.  My brother is a foodie and always has a list of restaurants he wants to try when he is in…

  • 3, 2, 1, Blast Off!

    If you’re seeking some relief from the Arizona heat I suggest a Cold War era flashback for a pretty cool pit stop. On our way from Tucson to Tombstone Jenn and I made a visit to the Titan Missile Museum in Sahuarita, Arizona.  This former top secret site is now a national historic landmark.  You,…

  • Hitting The Bean & the History Museum in Chicago

    It took living in Los Angeles a few years to really appreciate my hometown, Chicago. Parking is crazy expensive in Chicago (Thanks, Daley!!!!), so my Mom and I took a train Downtown.   We hung out in Millennium Park. This place was not around when I lived in Chicago, so I had not been..  Mom…

  • Babes Behind Bars

    If you follow our adventures on Facebook then you know how much Jenn and I enjoy checking into prisons during our travels. And sometimes we even get to check one out. Bam!  These two babes got behind bars at Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park. During its thirty-three years of operation the prison housed 3,069…

  • Mansions and Ghosts in San Jose!!

    On a road trip to Big Sur. . .we ended up in San Jose.  It just so happened that every hotel anywhere near Big Sur was booked and, naturally, we had not planned ahead.  Luckily for us, one of the only hotels available happened to also be one of the very coolest. We completely scored…

  • Venturing Into The Vortex

    If I had gotten a T-shirt as a souvenir from our trip to Sedona it would read, “I went to Sedona and all I got was this lousy T-shirt, oh, and lost in the vortex.” Not that there is anything lousy about Sedona, Az., in fact it is absolutely stunning and mystical in nature, we…

  • Steinbeck was right!

    “The next passage in my journey is a love affair. I am in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection, but with Montana it is love, and it’s difficult to analyze love when you’re in it.” – John Steinbeck – Travels with Charley in Search of America Anyone…

  • An Ode to BBQ

    Along with the adventures we’ve embraced on the road, one of the mottos I live by is to “taste life” and there is no better time to do that than when meal time rolls around.  Pizza is a pretty perfect food item. Growing up on the East coast I tend to prefer the flat crust…

  • Alleged History in San Francisco

    Oh! A Video!! A long time ago, I visited Fisherman’s Wharf and bought a poster of The Cliff House and always wanted to see it. It was on the list for this trip. I could not wait!! We zipped on over and found it… and it did not look a damned thing like my picture.…

  • Bikers, bankers and bears. Oh my, Wyoming!

    Westward ho! This trip we were off to cowgirl up our way to Wyoming. Granted it was north and east from where we were driving, but when I envisioned Wyoming I pictured cowboys and the Wild West. Or at least the wide-open range the state had to offer. But instead of giddy-upping on horses we…
