Another winter activity that I have neglected since I was young was snowmobiling. It has always been an adventure I enjoyed, but for some reason it stayed off my to do list until we made our way to Utah this winter. Snowmobiling through the mountains of...
The last time we were in Sedona, I had no interest in the numerous jeep tours that were offered. It seemed everywhere we turned, there was another jeep tour company in our faces. So, on our recent visit while on a filming project, I was...
I was expecting to feel some sort of launch or weightlessness, but instead, we could not even tell that we had left the ground. Before we knew it, we were floating hundreds of feet above ground and rising. It was our first hot air balloon experience,...

We were up in northern Minnesota scouting out winter and holiday scenes for a video project when we came across the Bentleyville Tour of Lights at Bayfront Park in Duluth, aka the “America’s Largest Free Walk Through Lighting Display”. There is also an ice skating...
Chicago is a special place at Christmastime—I always love when cities get all decked out for the holidays and Christmas in Chicago is no exception. We finally had the chance to make a return trip to Chicago, and we are so excited that it could...
