A wonderful little weekend in this adorable redwoods town.
Guerneville Getaway
CampoVelo
In an effort to both embrace more of the things I love to do - and meet more people out there in the real world, on a whim I signed up for CampoVelo in Napa/Calistoga. The event, put on by Clif Bar, promised to be a weekend of adventure, excellent food and wine … and … Continue reading CampoVelo
Kauai Part II
After an amazing (but strenuous) four days on the Kalalau trail, I spent the second half of my vacation at the wonderful Grand Hyatt resort in Poipu. I’m a points junkie and saved up to spend four nights in this luxurious beachfront hotel. We were lucky enough to score an upgraded room with a partial … Continue reading Kauai Part II
Oxbow Public Market – Napa
This summer, I was fortunate enough to have a client event at the Oxbow Public Market, so of course - I immediately volunteered to attend. Lowepro was celebrating their 50th anniversary, so in order to mark the occasion, they hired professional photographers around the globe to lead informative walks in stunning locations, giving participants tips … Continue reading Oxbow Public Market – Napa

This not so confidential sushi joint is a lot of fun, and conveniented located right in … Continue reading Sushi [Confidential]

If you get a chance to go in the spring, you may get to snuggle some kids (baby goats) … Continue reading Chevre Forevre

We booked a hotel in the heart of downtown Napa and planned out an … Continue reading Napa Valley Bubbly Trip
Celebrating Friendship in Napa

One of my favorite weekend trips, I highly recommend spending some time in both the Napa and Sonoma valleys. On this particular trip, … Continue reading Celebrating Friendship in Napa
An Afternoon in Carmel
For the holiday weekend, I decided to take a day trip down to Point Lobos and Carmel. We started the trip in San Jose with our destination as Point Lobos. A short hike at Point Lobos offers phenomenal views of the Pacific and wildlife. Otters can be seen playing in coves, along with seals and a variety of … Continue reading An Afternoon in Carmel
