Pioneertown Round Up!
Howdy, Partners! Sometimes we include a portion of a trip into an article and have a hard time deciding which photos to include in the post. Surviving Desert Hot Springs, Desert Snow, and Desert Sushi: Joshua Tree and Beyond was one of those posts. In the article, we mention Pioneertown. As hokey as this place seemed, we […]
Surviving Desert Hot Springs, Desert Snow, and Desert Sushi: Joshua Tree and Beyond!
Concrete. Concrete. Glass. Concrete. Asphalt. Traffic. Concrete. We love cities. Innovation, culture, art, and coffee every three blocks are just a few reasons Hillary and I gravitate toward and have lived in cities.

For those of us plagued with wanderlust, there’s nothing quite like the lure of the cross-country road-trip. Sure, you may have a destination in mind, maybe some stops planned along the way, but when it’s just you, your wheels, and the open road, anything could happen…and very often does! It wasn’t that long ago that […]
Road To Yosemite National Park
There is one place that constantly reminds me to enter any destination–even an old favorite–with new eyes: Yosemite National Park in California. Hillary and I took a day trip to Yosemite just before we left on our worldwide journey. She had visited long ago and it had been a few years since I last explored […]
