On our last day in Mendoza, Argentina, we hired a private guide and headed out to Bodega Chandon and Susana Balbo Wines. The visits to the actual wineries could be their own story, but we had reservations for lunch at Osadia de crear at Susana Balbo. We arrived to an empty restaurant, even though it …
How to Fit a Week’s Travel in 3 Daysby Guest Blogger, Gabrielle Guthrie I’m going to go ahead and kick this off by saying that every single overly dramatic, clichéd post you’ve ever read about Iceland is completely and totally true.

My husband loves Groupon. Or maybe, he loves the fact that he can find adventurous things for me to try to satisfy my need for action. Tonight was no exception. We headed to Destruction Depot, a rage room. Not knowing what to expect we arrived and signed our lives away with waivers. This seems to …
This summer we headed to Ferndale to check out ax throwing. After signing our lives away, we were given instruction on how to throw the axes without losing a limb. We were told there was no liquor allowed in the cages, only beer was allowed. Probably a good thing! We went through a series of …
