Where to visit, and When, Why, and What the heck to do while you’re there.
There’s no shortage of ways to love your fellow man in Austin. Especially around the holiday season, organizations rally to make giving back to the community fun and accessible. This year Brian and I participated in the Austin Empty Bowl Project which is an effort by Austin area potters to…
If you’re interested in visiting any Argentinian wineries in Mendoza and the Uco Valley, you may have read about the awesome, hours long, multi-course lunches with free flowing wine and gourmet food. When we were there we treated ourselves to two long lunches in the Uco Valley – one down-home…
On a recent trip to San Francisco, we took a day trip to Napa. Our friends arranged for a driver to bring us to and from so no one had to worry about being the designated driver. It also made us feel very fancy. We didn’t go to a ton…
