Day Drinking Kansas City – Cocktails in the Heart of America
A quick Sister Trip to check some boxes Peggy is in the home stretch of getting to all 50 states, and this trip to Kansas City covered two of her remaining eight: Kansas and Missouri. We had a tough time in our Google search for interesting things to do, and experiences to be had, we also had a limited amount of time. Don’t get us wrong. KCMO (that’s the cute acronym for Kansas City Missouri, if you didn’t know) is a fantastic little big city, with gorgeous architecture and a history ripe with mobster and prohibition stories. And we had a wonderful time. But you do not come to Kansas…
Las Vegas Off Strip – Because Sometimes you Need To Go
We really wanted more than casino bars and your typical Vegas fare when we decided to do a little remote working. So we had to dig in for this trip and find what you need to know before you go for the fantastic, slightly “extra” experience when doing Las Vegas right. A little Disclosure Peggy and I lived in Vegas in the 90s. Post college, early baby years, in total we spent about 6 years living out in Summerlin. We have knowledge of the city from a more-than-a-tourist point-of-view. It’s been a while, but it did provide us with the comfortability of Las Vegas outside of the Strip. Sister Side…
Unique Maui Activities That You May Not Know About
Sisbehaving Adventure Time As previously mentioned, my husband and I left Maui and spent a couple of days on Oahu. We flew back to Maui early in the morning and grabbed Peggy to head out for our sisbehaving adventure time. My husband has grown accustomed to this and is fairly well versed in staying out of harm’s way. We knew that we wanted to check a few boxes that were off the beaten path, and the Nakalele Blowhole was first on that list. Now, if you aren’t familiar with blowholes (yes, I’m going to giggle every single time I use the term blowhole), it’s a gamble whether it will be…
Las Vegas Speakeasy Guide – Gambling on the Secret Drinking Scene
Your favorite sisters are in their element when surrounded by fantastic opportunities for day drinking on our own Las Vegas speakeasy tour. Vegas is an obvious choice when posed with the question, “Where should we go for great drinking options?”. We are dutifully bringing you our Las Vegas Speakeasy recommendations in this post; we will cover Tiki Bars and other drinking spots in a separate post. Las Vegas Speakeasy Boom Speakeasies used to be quiet little underground places that you could seek out and feel like you were privy to some secret underground. Sadly, this is no longer the case. With social media and Google searches you can find them…
Day Drinking in The Big D
Or DDD (Dallas Day Drinking)…but we heard that has already been taken. Plus, we have been waiting for a legit way to use “The Big D” We found out how much there really is to do in Dallas (Things to do in Dallas), but we also found out how much there is to drink. You know day drinking is our jam but looking back, I feel like we really should have buckled down and hit so many more spots. In our defense, there really is only so much alcohol you can consume in the heat. However, I assure you, we gave it a good go, and found you some amazing…
Dallas, Texas – The City We Love to Hate
Let me start off by saying I was fully prepared to hate Dallas. I was positive this was going to suck. I mean, come on, Dallas. The arrogance of the state alone is enough, but then throw in their atrocious women’s rights stance, and machismo attitude of JR Ewing. Dallas was supposed to be dirty, humid, and bug ridden. I prepared for this horrible city that I was made to suffer through for the sake of my eldest son’s birthday. Sister Side Note (ssn) – and while we are hating on Texas, DFW is one of my top 3 least favorite airports in the USA. But here we are and…
Virgin Hotels Dallas – For the Young (and hip) at Heart
Here is it, our first mini-blog dedicated to one and only subject. Virgin Hotels Dallas. We have heard so many amazing things about the Virgin Hotels and Virgin product line. But we have never flown Virgin Atlantic Airlines, or been on a Virgin Voyage (not yet, but we want to and plan to, so slip us a little discount there Virgin fam, we are dying to come check you out), we are new to the Virgin properties. And so far, Richard Branson has not invited us to stay on his private island. Virgin Virgins you might say. Sister Side Note (ssn) – Virgin properties have the reputation for being young…
Oh Hey Kihei – Our First Stop in Maui
Kihei, Maui from a non-Hawaii obsessed traveler. Maui was never ever on my bucket list. I know people live and die for their Hawaiian vacations, but for me it’s always been a meh, kind of destination. However, for our anniversary we scored a killer flight deal to Maui. Of course we jumped on it to find out what all the fuss was about. Bonus was that my niece and her husband were booked to be there during our stay. Thus turning it into a little mini-family getaway. And Peggy was coming along to help watch the grandbaby, so we were off. Pat and I decided if we were doing a “most…
Lahaina Day Drinking – Island Style Bar Crawl
On day five of our Maui journey, and Peggy’s last day, we decided that we needed to spend the afternoon in downtown Lahaina. We naturally dedicated one day in Lahaina to just drinking adventures. It is our self-assigned duty to help you out with what to drink, where to drink, and what to not miss while drinking. Plus, on this trip, we had some extra family members in tow: Patti’s husband, Pat, plus Peggy’s daughter, son-in-law, and new grandbaby: Syd, Austin, and Baby Beckham. Sister Side Note (ssn) – we kept it pretty PG this time but still managed to have a fantastic time with tropical drinks and tasty food!…
Olympic National Park – Our Overdue Trip to the Rainforest
Peggy’s new grandbaby was born in Seattle in late October. While she was in town, we took this opportunity to finally check the Olympic National Park off our bucket list. It is downright embarrassing that we have lived in Washington State most of our lives (since we were 7 & 8 years old!) and have never been to the Olympic National Park (ONP). This shame has been rectified, and it was amazing. Located on the Olympic Peninsula in upper left Washington State, the gateway to the ONP is really Port Angeles. There are several lodges and resorts closer to the park as well as Airbnb rentals and camping. Sister Side…
