Enjoying pan-fried California halibut after five days of camping in Oregon, paired with Cultivar Wine's 2014 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc.

Celebrating Ryan's birthday at Lazy Bear, an amazing dining experience in San Francisco's Mission District with pop-up roots.

Hanging out at the incredibly cool American International Rattlesnake Museum, partially to escape the heat of Albuquerque, New Mexico, but also to learn about the amazing rattlesnake.

Several months ago, we were invited to stay at Holman Ranch, a 400-acre event property and winery in Carmel Valley. We took that as an opportunity to stay in Carmel Valley for the first time and to take Fresca on her first overnight trip with us as the property is dog-friendly.

What I'm currently up to - letting Fresca sleep in our room, loving cheese, wishing for cleaning fairies and planning trips to Mexico City and IFBC!

Mission District food tour - checking out four spots (Mission Cheese, Hog & Rocks, Tacolicious, BiRite) and getting the inside scoop with Avital Tours.

What I'm currently up to - looking forward to a weekend with Trail Mavens and the upcoming trip to Belgium, watching Band of Brothers and learning to code.

Stopping in Eureka, Brick & Fire Bistro was the perfect spot for a bite to eat - a blend of local harvest and Mediterranean tradition.
