Recently, we found a new love for airport hotels that are located at the airport. Overnight layovers don’t need to be any more inconvenient than they already are, especially before or after an international flight. On our recent trip to Greece, we had two overnight...
One of my favorite things to do when visiting a city is soak up the view from above, either from the tallest building or a unique landmark. Even though we love exploring nature when we travel, the energy of a city always makes me feel...
St Paul is riddled with fascinating history filled with gangsters, corrupt police officers and caves. One of the best spots to get a peek into this history is at the Wabasha Street Caves in downtown St. Paul. These caves were originally created when the area...
Summit Brewing Company is one of the top 50 breweries in the United States and it just so happens to be located in St. Paul, only a mere 2 miles from our apartment. Since I just can’t seem to resist a behind the scenes tour...
Fall was rapidly approaching and I figured it would be the perfect time to see if I could find any local wineries that offered tours of their vineyards. I didn’t have much luck in finding a vineyard tour, but what I did find was something...
One fun aspect about moving away from home is that when you return, you have a new appreciation for many things that you would have ignored previously. Recently, we have been exploring the history of the Twin Cities, and one of my favorite outings was...

The Walker Art Center is located near downtown Minneapolis and includes a museum and sculpture garden. Exhibits consist of contemporary visual arts and design, and in the summer, the outside sculpture garden also includes an artist designed mini golf course. I always love exploring museums and...
Minnesota isn’t called the “Land of 10K Lakes” for nothing—in fact, there are actually more than 10,000 lakes throughout the state. Also, Minnesota has more shoreline than Florida, California and Hawaii combined! All of this means that growing up in Minnesota equates to spending the...
Let me start off by saying we aren’t really fair people; something about fairs usually rubs me the wrong way. That being said—I don’t know what it is about the Minnesota State Fair, but we always have a great time. Maybe it’s because of the...
It’s been a while since we’ve been able to put together a video, so when we booked all our exciting adventure activities in Las Vegas, we knew we had to do some filming. We had an amazing time exploring the Red Rock Canyon, ziplining the...
