There are so many spots in the US and close to home that we have loved spending time in. We’ve done some beach trips to Costa Rica and Mexico and love skiing in Whistler each winter. Plus, we’ve lived in Minnesota, New York City, Southern California, and now the Pacific Northwest. Spending extended time in each of those places gives us a unique ability to share a curated list of our tried and true favorites.
Whether you love a road trip or want a weekend getaway or need to escape to a National Park and be in nature, we’ve got you covered.
