Mon Journal Français: Day 2 – Ménerbes


Europe, France, Provence, Travel

Another day of ignoring alarm clocks and meandering around Le Luberon. I could get used to this slower lifestyle. We drove to Ménerbes this morning and what a gorgeous drive it was. Nestled among the vineyards are old stone bastides (country houses) reflecting the summer sun from their limestone walls and subtly dotting the landscape […]

Mon Journal Français: Day 1


Europe, France, Provence, Travel

I couldn’t wait to get here. To this moment. As I write this, I’m listening to the winds blow outside our cottage in Provence. The sun is blazing across a vibrant blue sky, yet the day feels warm not hot. It’s very comfortable and pretty much the perfect day, rather nap-inducing I would say. And […]

Long Weekend Guide to Mykonos, Greece


Europe, Greece, Travel

Our first trip to Greece six years ago took us to Athens, Mykonos, Naxos, and Santorini. I have thought about that trip many times since, and I always knew I wanted to come back to Greece someday. I’m excited to say that day finally arrived! We just came back from a long weekend in Mykonos, […]

Beautiful Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Côte d’Azur


Europe, France, Travel

I love the lesser known French Riviera cities. While Nice and Cannes have a certain caché, it’s the smaller destinations that have my heart. While visiting Villefranche-sur-Mer, we also explored Èze and Beaulieu-sur-Mer. I admit that Beaulieu really wasn’t on my radar, but I’m so glad we decided to check it out. We had no […]

An Enchanting Day in Èze on the French Riviera


Europe, France, Travel

One of the best parts of visiting the French Riviera are all the beautiful little towns you can travel to in a single day. On our recent trip to Villefranche-sur-Mer, we spent an enchanting day in Èze, a magical medieval town perched high atop a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Located between St Jean Cap […]

Last Weekend in Vegas…


North America, Travel

This post has two meanings. I titled it “Last Weekend in Vegas…” because we went there last weekend but also because it was literally our last weekend in Vegas (at least for the foreseeable future). We’ve been to Las Vegas so many times, but we have not been since Covid hit. While we usually go […]

Happy January! Let’s Catch Up…


Lifestyle, Travel

I’d say Happy New Year but we’re basically halfway through January at this point (by the way, how is that possible?), so I feel a little tardy to the party. Anyway, I hope January is a happy one for you so far!  Let’s catch up… We had a really nice Christmas and holiday season overall. […]

Champagne Tour to Épernay, France


Food and Wine, France, Travel

I’ve always felt that even the smallest things become celebrations when you throw champagne into the mix. A beautiful glass of bubbly is almost an instant mood booster. So it’s no surprise that I couldn’t wait to go on a champagne tour in France! We’ve been on wine tours throughout France before (as well as […]

Touring Paris in a Vintage Citroën


Europe, France, Travel

Touring Paris in a vintage Citroën was by far one of the best tours we’ve ever done! Aside from the occasional Uber, we had never seen the city from a car. We are used to taking the metro and walking everywhere, but when you have the chance to see Paris from a convertible car, where […]
