Hello from Portland, Oregon! I hope you are all having a wonderful week. Today, as promised, I will be sharing some of the must-see spots in Portland and just a bit about what to wear when you want to look cute and stay cool. First off is the Waterfront Bike Path. The first night we…
What to wear to a reunion
Hello, everyone, Over the weekend was my husband’s 50th high school reunion. (Yes, I was a child bride! lol!) Since I knew ahead of time that it would be very warm up here in Portland, I picked out my outfit to match the weather. You may remember this beautiful dress that came in my very…
Portland, City of Roses
Hello from Portland, Oregon! We have arrived here in Portland during a massive heat wave! The sky, normally beautiful and blue, has been blocked out by smoke from fires in Canada, and the heat is holding it in place. However, it is still a beautiful, fun city and a great place to visit. Portland has…
Baja’s beautiful beaches
Happy Friday from Cabo, my friends! I hope you have had a wonderful week. We return home tomorrow, so I thought I would share some info about some of the beautiful beaches here in Los Cabos. As I shared before, you can’t swim on the Pacific side, due to the heavy undertow and drop-offs close…

Playa Grande – the big beach
Hello, everyone, In yesterday’s post I told you a little about the Los Cabos area, and today I will share where we stay when we come to Mexico. As I mentioned before, Cabo San Lucas is often called the party town and it has a very busy harbor and downtown area with lots of tourists….
Viva la Mexico!
Hola! If you haven’t visited Cabo, I want to tell you just a bit about it. First of all, there are really two different Cabos at the tip of Baja, that both fall under the name Los Cabos. One is San Jose del Cabo and the other Cabo San Lucas. San Jose del Cabo is…
How I packed for a weeklong summer trip
Happy Friday, everyone! As promised, I will be sharing how I put my list of clothing and other items together for packing. (You can review my list of what-to-take here.) I copied many of the ideas I used for our 21-day trip back in November. If you’d like to check that out, you can do…
