The second spot on our European adventure was the South of France, specifically the French Riviera. We chose Nice as our home base for the trip and planned on taking a few day trips by train to some of the other cities along the coast.
Read MoreTravel: Versailles, France
As someone with a deep love of homes, architecture and interior design, all I can say about Versailles is wow! The opulence, the size, the gardens… they truly do not make homes, or even buildings, like this anymore!

David and I took a trip to Paris at the beginning of September and absolutely fell in love with the city! Check out the highlights of our trip and see some great photos of the gorgeous city!

Below is a photo tour of the resort to get me through until my next vacation!

I recently went to San Francisco with David for a family event. We had an amazing time hanging out with family, relaxing in the sun and exploring the city. Rather than explaining all of the things that we did, I'm sharing my experiences through the photos that we took while on our trip. Enjoy!
Read MoreAstoria, Oregon
I've been wanting to go to Astoria for months and months as a day trip from either Portland or Manzanita. It is only about an hour from Manzanita, and about 1.5 hours drive from Portland. Astoria is located right off the coast on the Oregon side of the Columbia River and is the cutest little town full of historic shops, restaurants, breweries and sight-seeing.
Read MoreNewport Beach, California
I recently took a weekend trip to Newport Beach, California to enjoy the sunshine with all of my best girlfriends!
Read MoreNeighborhoods: Goose Hollow
The Goose Hollow neighborhood in Portland sits west of downtown and just south of Burnside street. The neighborhood is more residential than some of the other neighborhoods in Portland, but is certainly not lacking in attractions, restaurants and things to do. Goose Hollow is still very walkable, with downtown being only a few blocks down the hill and NW Portland being right over Burnside.
