There be dragons… and not just ones from Halloween! With multiple guests from the States, we loved our month in Sitges, the Catalunya beach town just outside of Barcelona.
Spain looks good on me! #iusedallthefilters As I close out our month in Sitges, I find myself a little sad. We’ve had such an amazing month. Looking back at our trip thus far, I gotta say Sitges has been the best city for a “full…

Everyone that knows me knows that I become a big ball of emotions around the holidays and it starts at Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays, I would put it above Christmas even. Personally, I find Thanksgiving is more of a…
Welcome to the beach! We have officially settled into our fifth AirBNB, but this time we are at the beach. We did run into our first small snag with our AirBNB house this month, which was fun. About 2-weeks before we were scheduled to arrive…
