It’s almost the Fourth of July. What better way to celebrate America than by hopping in the car and taking off for destinations unknown? Taking off during a holiday weekend when you’ll be sharing the road with just about everyone else probably isn’t the best time to take the great American road trip, …
We left our hearts in Mexico, you guys! Our airline miles were burning holes in our pockets so we decided to book a quick trip to Tulum for our anniversary. We flew out on a Saturday and I was back in Berkeley Thursday night, Mark continuing on to Miami for school. …
We spent three glorious days in the paradise that is Tulum, Mexico, and I am scheming ways to get us back there. Three days was definitely not enough, and as cheesy as it sounds, I feel like I left a little piece of myself there. It was just totally my …
