Well Traveled: Casa Del Mar
Published on Sunday, January 29, 2012 by caryn It wasn't until I was in my early twenties that I started leaving the comforts of home to venture out and see the world. I had just graduated college and my dreams were big. I wanted to visit all of the places I had read about in books and studied in school. It really didn't take long to decide that my travel adventures would start in Europe. Sometimes there are b... Read More » -

Win a Trip to Palm Springs *Giveaway*
Published on Monday, January 9, 2012 by caryn Having lived in Southern California my entire life, I often overlook the beauty that surrounds me.

A Walk Through the New Amsterdam Theatre
Published on Saturday, December 31, 2011 by caryn As someone with a passion for the arts, I'm always intrigued by the intricate details that go into a live production. One of the most unique experiences to date was a private tour and walk through of the New Amsterdam Theatre, which is the current home of Mary Poppins on Broadway. Built in the early 1900's, the theater is the oldest venue on Broadway (along with... Read More » -

iCapture: New York City
Published on Friday, December 9, 2011 by caryn As for New York City, it is a place apart. There is not its match in any other country in the world. Pearl S. Buck It's one of my favorite cities in the world...glitzy and glamourous...whimsical and sentimental...contemporary yet historic. There are not many cities I'd want to live in, outside of Southern California. But oh how I'd love to spend a year or three in... Read More » -

Fall Relaxation and Escapes from Blue Marble ...
Published on Sunday, November 6, 2011 by caryn I think it should be required that each and every mom get an assigned day week afternoon to simply relax in whichever way we choose. Some women find sitting in a coffee shop with a book in hand incredibly therapeutic. Others run, meditate, or do yoga. I find bliss at the spa. Earlier this year, I spent an evening at The Hyatt Regency Mission Bay in San Diego.... Read More » -

Travel Shopping Challenge…In Search of ...
Published on Friday, September 9, 2011 by caryn We are a family that travels. We traveled as a married couple without children and now take different kinds of trips as a family. It used to be easy to sneak away to Santa Barbara or San Diego for the weekend when it was just the two of us. These days our vacations and even staycations require a bit more planning. But having children does not preclude us from ta... Read More » -

Outfitted for Travel
Published on Sunday, August 28, 2011 by caryn “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain I absolutely love this quote from Mark Twain. It is why my husband and I lived, worked, and backpacked Europe ... Read More » -

How We Ended Up Living In the UK
Published on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 by caryn From time to time, I've shared bits and pieces of our pre-parental travels. But how did we end up moving all the way to Edinburgh, Scotland for almost one year? We had been married approximately 6 months when we decided to take a two week trip to Europe. We were still relishing in the memories of our Tahitian honeymoon and itching to continue traveling. While I... Read More » -

48 Hours in New York City
Published on Wednesday, May 25, 2011 by caryn Before the hubby and I had children, we spent almost one year traveling all over Europe. Both of us have a passion for travel and we don't let the fact that we have kids hinder that. I prefer to travel with my family, but I've had some amazing opportunities arise recently which have resulted in having to travel solo a little more than I normally do. As you might ... Read More » -

The Hyatt Regency Mission Bay In San Diego
Published on Monday, February 28, 2011 by caryn Two weekends ago, my husband and I had one glorious weekend to ourselves, sans children. We take our children everywhere, and the number of evenings our children have been away from us can be counted on two hands...maybe. We don't use babysitters or nannies (although I am not opposed to either) and my son didn't go to preschool until after his second birthday. T... Read More » -

KidTrip: American Museum of Natural History
Published on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 by caryn We've been back nearly a week and I have so much to write about our trip to New York. I am such a city girl and coming home was bittersweet. I absolutely loved being able to walk to Times Square from the apartment we rented. But lugging the double stroller up and down the stairs to the Subway...not so much. One of our "must see" activities was visiting the Am... Read More » -

A Week In New York City
Published on Monday, August 16, 2010 by caryn I'm back! I've just spent the most memorable 10 days in the city that never sleeps. Last year, around this time, BlogHer announced that they would hold it's annual conference in New York City. I couldn't purchase my ticket fast enough. And because we live all the way on the other side of the country, our vacation was decided in that moment. For a year, my ... Read More » -
