One week after our wedding, we went right back to Reeve Wines for their members’ weekend. We originally weren’t sure we would attend since we were literally just there, but instead we decided to stay the night in Healdsburg and turn it into a mini honeymoon! It’s always such a lovely time sitting at the…
So much to see and do in Mexico City! We’re continuing on with part two of our holiday trip to CDMX. Jumping right in with a walk around the neighborhoods of Condesa and Roma Norte. There’s apparently a small Japantown of sorts budding in Mexico City. We happened upon a Japanese grocery store, where we…

A couple weeks after we were married, we went on an impromptu mini honeymoon in Napa! I had booked a photo session in Yountville, so Alex seized the opportunity to turn it into a little staycation while we were up there. What a special privilege to be able to hang out in wine country over…
