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…
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 . .…
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.

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…
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…
