super bowl XLVI, parisian style – part one
TGIF, travelers! Our brains are fried, it’s true. It’s been a long week but now: a long weekend! THE JOY! The wino is playing hostess with the mostest, while the romantic just may start packing up their apartment. Never mind that they’re (hopefully) signing a lease for April 1: girl needs over a month to pack this much stuff. ANYWAY. To take the Friday pressure off our broken brains, hubs is here to save the day! Enjoy! ——————————————————————————————————— It was completely by accident that we ended up watching the New York Giants win the Super Bowl live at 12:30 am…

parisian snow day
When hubs told me we were starting February off in Paris, I had one thought: I hope we get to see the city in the snow. Never mind that according to almost everything I read, it rarely snows in Paris. I had it in my head that that would make the weekend that much more romantical (new word). On our first day, we high-tailed it to the Eifel Tower and made friends with that little bird to the left who kept posing for all my photos. No snow, but the perfect start no less. That night, when we left dinner,…

plus macarons, s’il vous plaît!
Ahhh, Paris. Of all the things I miss since returning on Tuesday–walking along the Seine, a snow covered Jardin du Luxembourg, and life in the 6th arrondissement–the thing I’ve missed most this week is the food. As mentioned, I’m not really a sweets girl… but in Paris, that all changes. I could live on Nutella crepes and macarons and pain au chocolat, it’s true. And now, after my self-imposed taste test, I can happily announce that I could live specifically on Pierre Hermé macarons. Let’s discuss. On our first trip to Paris, we fell in love with Pierre Hermé. Right…

shit lazy travelers say
We’ve all seen them– the latest YouTube phenoms parodying shit people say (my favorite is Shit People in DC Say, call me biased). After watching a few of these, I’ve realized lazy travelers are also creatures of habit, and we tend to stick to a few key catchphrases. “Let’s just go here” Many times, the best nights are the nights you don’t plan. When traveling, the romantic and I like to plan less and discover more. Instead of picking out a restaurant in advance, we often hop from place to place until we find a place where we can camp out…

no travel required
Wine Wednesday if we’ve ever needed it, travelers! Oh, do we say that every week? …moving right along then. Genuinely shocked that the subway was what brought out their love of New York, but we’re here to tell you: this city does funny things to a person. The Verdict Is In Miami never really strikes us as somewhere super up our alley, but this post makes it look more low-key and relaxing than we generally envision it. Miami: Beach and Bay Changing it up a bit for our photo of the day, but fitting nonetheless: take me away xo! the…
