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...
Miami is a one of a kind city filled with crazy antics at every turn, and we have grown to enjoy the city after a few years of living only an hour away. Now that we are living back in Minnesota, and we can’t just...
It’s that time again. Time for more street art photos—as I’ve said before, Athens is filled with street art, and supposedly has one of the largest displays in the world. Although initially, street art can make a place seem unsafe and gritty, that’s definitely not...
We arrived in Athens late at night after a flight from Santorini, and we groggily made our way to our hotel without seeing much of the city. So, the next morning was quite a treat when we joined Athens Insiders on a walking and food...

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...
Picking fresh fruits and veggies has almost become some sort of strange obsession for me. We have picked everything from oranges, blueberries, strawberries, apples and raspberries to pumpkins and corn, and we even joined in on a grape harvest at a local winery. This fall,...
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect--we were going in blind. We purchased a Groupon for a cave tour and wine tasting in Stillwater, which is about a 30-minute drive from Minneapolis. Stillwater is an adorable town right along the St. Croix River—even though I...
