Friday is my favorite day of the week and today I have extra reason to celebrate because we have a fun weekend ahead! We are headed to New Orleans for a few days with my in-laws and I can’t wait to relax in the Big Easy. Not to mention all that amazing food! It’s been 18 […]
As a couple who has traveled quite a bit (19 countries and counting), my husband and I are always kicking around ideas of where we would like to visit next. The conversation usually starts before we’ve even returned home from a trip. Seeing the world is something that puts life into our veins. It helps […]
It can be so hard to focus on the work week ahead when you’ve just had a great weekend with wonderful friends. I’m trying to pretend it’s not in fact Sunday afternoon, but as I sit here reminiscing about the past couple of days and writing this post, the cool central Texas breeze is flowing […]
I read a short article over the weekend called 5 Signs You’re a Tourist, Not a Traveler and it got me thinking about the evolution of our travel habits. When my husband and I first started traveling internationally, we were total newbies at the entire experience. We had been all over the United States but when you go […]
Hello and happy Wednesday! There is really nothing prettier than springtime in central Texas. The weather is getting warmer but not too warm and the wildflowers are starting to pop up everywhere, blanketing the landscape in beautiful bluebonnets. Even my wardrobe is starting to look a little more light. With all this color around us I […]
Since it’s Monday and the week is already off to a slightly frustrating start, I thought I would divert my attention to something that always cheers me up – shoes! I also completely didn’t do a Friday Favorites post last week because I was traveling for my day job and also I’ve been working on the […]
What defines an exceptional dining experience? Our weekend visit to Peggy’s On The Green in Boerne, Texas provided just that definition. It was a rainy day and we had spent most of it fighting the retail crowds and running errands. Nothing sounded better than an early dinner of comfort food and a great cocktail. Peggy’s accommodated […]
TGIF!! I hope you’ve had an exceptional week and are ready for some weekend fun! I know that the Mr. and I have some *light* shopping and dinner planned, so be sure to follow me on Instagram (@cathedralsandcafes) for a story or two. 🙂 Today I’m sharing my 10 favorite European locales. I have the […]
Hello and Happy Wednesday! I’m taking this post back to Chile again, with some recommendations for fellow wine enthusiasts. We have been to some of the world’s best wine regions, having toured vineyards in France, Italy and Spain. So we were eager to learn more about Chilean wine making and sample some vintages we can’t […]
When it comes to international travel, my husband and I have spent most of our time in Europe. So when the opportunity to go to South America presented itself last month, we said yes right away. Going to South America in January means a nice break from wintery temperatures here in the States. It was […]
Is it just me, or is this week flying by? I can’t believe tomorrow is already Friday and it’ll be a week since we tried Signature, a new restaurant in San Antonio. We had a little Valentine’s celebration at home but also made reservations with some friends for a fun night out. I already know that […]
So, you’re just a day or so away from embarking on your dream trip and now you actually have to pack. Nothing sucks the fun out of traveling like packing. At least, that’s how I’ve always felt. But packing is a lot like perfecting a talent – practice makes perfect. Over the years I’ve learned […]
Hello and happy Monday! I hope everyone is recovering after last night’s history-making game! It has been rather gloomy, foggy, and cold the last few days and so I’ve been reminiscing on our time in the Cinque Terre. We were there in late July (yes, still playing catch up on my posts) and temperatures were […]
Italy is one of those magical places you could never see all of in an entire lifetime. Our first trip was 5 years ago and we knew we would be coming back again and again. During that trip we made sure to see every historical landmark, ruin, and museum we’d only ever seen in movies. […]
