I love snow. Hold up…let me rephrase. I love visiting places where it snows. I’m not sure if I could handle snow all winter long, but for a week or two at a time, I’m game. I was excited about this trip and not just for the usual snowball fights and hot chocolate. On this…

Kaua’i – The Beach Bro
We had done a lot of running around to see the Island of Kaua’i, but I’m a beach bum at heart. I was here to put my toes in the sand and put my bum in the water. The apartment turned out to be perfect. We had a view of the ocean from our patio…
