    2023 was a year with plenty of new adventures, laughter and joy.

Looking forward to more sisbehaving and shenanigans in 2024! Best Moments Most Sisbehaving Moment Little Sister – Sometimes, the best things seem to happen out of the blue. We were sitting at a fantastic outdoor café in Salzburg.  We had seen this bachelorette party earlier in the day taking photos at Mirabell Palace, then suddenly there they were 3 hours later, drunk, walking through Altstadt in their matching T-shirts…

    Our Best of 2022 Wrap Up and Travel Awards

    2022 was a fantastic travel year for each of us – both together and separately. Unfortunately, I think we will find as we write this that many of our favorites were not with each other and that makes me a bit sad. But let’s celebrate the adventure, fun, laughs and joy in our Best of 2022 while pledging to do better in 2023! Best Moments Most Sisbehaving Moment Little Sister – Fat Girl in a little safe. One of the best laughs ever.  Because leave it to me to be completely oblivious to the fact there’s other people on this planet with me, as I start singing to myself, not…

    Our 2021 Best of Travel Awards

    While 2021 was not the travel year that we had hoped, we had a great year and saw some amazing things. Even though we each had some fantastic trips separately, we tried to focus these awards on trips that we took together. Cheers to the new adventures that 2022 will bring. Best Moments Most Sisbehaving Moment Little Sister – Our Savannah (post here) photo shoot.  As a surprise for Peggy I booked us a sisbehaving photo shoot complete with mimosas and dress ups.  Or glow ups…  haha.  But I ended up looking like Slash from GnR so I guess that really didn’t turn out. Big Sister – Patti breaking her…

    Our 2020 Best of Travel Awards

    Moments Most “Sisbehaving” Moment Little Sister – Skinny dipping in a roof top infinity pool during an impending hurricaine.  It’s the funniest, not brightest, but it was damn fun. Read about our trip to Playa del Carmen Big Sister – This was during the first lockdown. Patti had recovered from COVID and was at my house with her husband, as well as our mother. Sometimes you just have to sneak away for a minute… Favorite Giggle Little Sister – Late night Korean BBQ in Minneapolis.  Or, the events leading up to it from the Capital Grille (second runner up for best cocktail: The Stoli Doli) and The Saloon . .…

    I Did 50 New Things Before My 50th Birthday

    A 50th Birthday deserves more than a trip or a party. Why not celebrate by accomplishing 50 new things in 50 weeks? This crazy idea started out on my 49th birthday…we were on our self-created pub tour in London, the last night of what had been an incredible family trip across the pond to see our beloved Seahawks play the Raiders in the NFL UK series. If this is how I celebrated 49, how would I improve on it for my 50th birthday?? 50 is a big deal and I felt like I had to pay it proper homage. I needed something equally momentous! After some brainstorming and online inspiration,…

    Travel Planning – Where Dreaming & Scheming Come Together

    Travel Planning – Choosing our trips We used to totally fly by the seat of our pants when travel planning but for the last year, we have been getting serious. Devouring every travel list article, you know the ones, “50 Places That Should Be on Your Bucket List”, “The 25 Most Beautiful Places in the USA”.  We have created a comprehensive list of just over 200 incredible destinations that we are working through.  We committed to locking in 2 international and 2 domestic trips per year.  Then agreed to pick up other trips as opportunities present themselves. The dreaming and wishing and the “ooh, let’s go there” are part of…
