Eating Our Way Through Napa

September 28th, 2011: Felicia and I might just eat too much from time to time.

Pete + Cindy | Up in Napa

September 27th 2011: Earlier this month, Felicia and I drove our little car up north to Napa for Pete & Cindy’s destination wedding at The Chardonnay Golf Club (speaking of driving, I’m disappointed we only clocked 36.25MPG on that long drive).

Michelle + Endy | Out in the Desert: Part II

April 8th, 2011: After that night out on The Strip in Vegas – where for the first time in my life in Vegas, I was so busy working that I did not have a single drink nor play a single game of Craps. Crap. – we woke up bright & early (waaaaay too early for [...]

Michelle + Endy | Out in the Desert: Part I
