Santa Fe – Day Drinking in this Charming Southwestern City
Sometimes life just isn’t going your way, and you need to step back and re-evaluate things. That’s exactly what I was doing: isolating and recovering from life at my sister’s. And that’s when she said, “Why don’t we just go to Santa Fe for the weekend?” Now, I have never been to Santa Fe. I’ve never been to New Mexico, not even on a drive through to get to somewhere else. So I was all for this idea. Plus, it was only a 4-hour drive from Peggy’s house, so why not? This was a pretty quick decision with only 3 days until departure, unlike our usual months of research and…

Reno – Biggest Little (Day Drinking) City in the World
Road Trip, Reno and Rod Stewart…Epic plan, right? Yeah, this was one of those “out-there” ideas we came up with, that turned into a fantastic reality. We decided we needed to see Rod Stewart in concert before there were no more chances left. And sure, he was playing in Seattle and Denver (near where we each live), but why would we make this an easy night to remember when we could make it an epic weekend? Rod was playing in Reno the weekend after we had planned to do the North Cascades National Park in Northern Washington State. So, Peggy could just come home with me, work remotely for the…

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…

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…

Tiki, Thai, Speakeasy and Sushi – One Evening In Seattle
One Night in Bangrak (Because I told her I was going to title it that) Update: since the original post, we have added to our Seattle list with another must-do tiki bar and a not quite nearby speakeasy…scroll to the bottom to read about them! After a trip to the coast, Peggy and I had the fun of staying one extra night in Seattle where we “accidently” discovered a couple of new-to-us businesses. If you saw our original day drinking in Seattle blog post, you know we had previously hit quite a few spots and had an amazing time, but we were going to try to outdo that? On this…

Savannah – Day Drinking, Accidental Drunks, and Killer Eats
We’ve covered some of the amazing things to do in Savannah here, now we are all about the food & drink! Savannah Basics If you are a day drinker or a fan of fantastic food, I’m going to give Savannah, Georgia a 4.5 out of 5 stars. For the most part, tourists are going to stick to the historic district of Savannah, so from here on out when I say Savannah just assume that I am talking Historic District. Here are our recommendations for you to find a little of everything to fit your mood. Upscale classy bars, dive bars, walk-up bar, basement bar, speakeasys. Generally, if we have a…

Day Drinking – Downtown Seattle
Those of you that are familiar with us know, Day Drinking is customary day built into each trip to enjoy the local offerings. We haven’t been as good at blogging about them as we should. Hmmm….maybe a flawed plan? But check out our previous post in this category, Day Drinking – Boise. We experienced an epic day drinking afternoon in downtown Seattle. While a little limited by Covid shutdowns, our biggest challenge seemed to be the fact that bars didn’t update their Google information to show their true open hours. Now, as we move through this blog post with our recommendations and sharing our experience, please gloss over some areas…

Day Drinking – The Boise Cocktail Culture is Strong
A new series about some of our favorite recommendations in the cities we love. Our first location is Boise, ID. In the time of Covid, when we aren’t able to travel, we have been reminiscing about some of our favorite times in our favorite towns. The problem with trying to blog about times past is you are completely reliant on memories and not living so much in the present. With that in mind we decided to base a new series about some of our best memories in cities we love, like Boise! And lucky for you, our best memories involve our favorite hobby, DAY DRINKING. And yes, this will include…
