For Mother’s Day, we spent the weekend up north at my parents’ Pinetop-Lakeside home. They’ve been renovating it and it’s been several months since we’ve been there to see it. The weather was incredible and the backyard was a perfectly relaxing atmosphere. On Saturday, my dad and I visited Little Log Cabin, a tiny antique [...]
A blast from the past. In 2008, Clay and I took a trip to San Francisco. Here’s us narrowly escaping the jaws of death at Fisherman’s Wharf.
I spent the last four days in San Francisco with a few of my coworkers from meltmedia. We attended the design conference TYPO and also had some fun around the city.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Paris lately. Not only am I always trying to justify going back, but a coworker of mine just booked two weeks in Paris for her honeymoon in May. While thinking of the Must-See spots in and around the city, I kept thinking about the Must-Haves that every Paris traveler [...]

This Christmas weekend was spent with extended family in the San Francisco Bay area. We’ve always talked about exploring new places instead of lounging on the couch stuffing our faces. Although there was plenty of the latter to speak of, we did find some time to sneak out and see something new. Clay, my dad, [...]

After the first few minutes, an instrumental montage of various Parisian landmarks and scenery, I was convinced I would absolutely love this film. If I only knew what was to come. Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams play Gil [...]
