San Francisco: Hotel Zoe While in San Francisco we stayed a couple of nights at the Hotel Zoe in the Fisherman’s Wharf. We did rent a car to drive to Napa but we rented it from the rental location in Fisherman’s Wharf and not at the airport to save money on both the rental and
For a belated Valentine’s Day we decided to rent a Getaway cabin for a quiet weekend. This cabin outpost is about an hour and a half outside of Dallas, without traffic. With traffic, well, drive through Dallas at your own risk. Once out of the city the drive is pretty and open with pastures and
One thing that I did not realize before visiting Ashford, Washington was that for as tiny as the town is about half of it is cabins and lodges for visitors to Mount Rainier National Park. We visited the park after Memorial Day but before for the true busy season when the majority of the wild

When we were planning this trip, along with finding reasonably priced flights, we needed to find a reasonably priced resort. We decided on a resort early on because we wanted access to the amenities. After a lot of research and a few recommendations we settled on Ramon’s Village. We actually stayed at their sister property,
During our recent trip to Fredericksburg we wanted to stay somewhere different. Keltin came across the Walnut Canyon Cabins. Wonderful and quiet. The property has seven cabins of varying sizes about 15 minutes from Fredericksburg. The roads to get there were lush with trees and wildflowers and in the evening – white tail deer. We
Keltin and I have wanted to go camping for a while now. Both of us grew up camping but haven’t really since high school. With spring in the air (and a chance of rain) we finally got to go camping. We left making our reservations at a camp ground until much later than we should
