The Pink Palace (Best Western Hotel), Allen Park, MI USA

15 degrees. I hadn’t experienced cold weather in quite some time. This was a fact I was proud of. But at the same time, something about the sharp, bitter air was exciting.

How fitting that we would choose the same destination to go to, just as spontaneously as before. We used a combination of United, […]

Hotel del Coronado, San Diego, CA

When I received the email notifying us the office was closed Monday, it occurred to me we had no Fourth of July plans. I was not prepared for this moment. Fortunately Rachel was full of ideas, and 3 hours of research later, we were booked to go to San Diego. Even though it was only […]
