Fab Photos Friday: One Afternoon in Cabo

March 1, 2019 By Tam Warner 9 Comments

One afternoon in Cabo.

I am headed to Cabo very soon and am so looking forward to soaking in its beauty! I’ll be hanging on the beach, diving, whale watching in Magdalena Bay with Red Travel Mexico March 12-14 (still spots available!), and checking out La Paz and Isla Espíritu Santo hoping to snorkel with whale sharks and sea lions! Add in a bit of kayaking in Balandra Bay, and I’m going to be a super happy camper! You can bet I will have a zillion photos to share, but for now, enjoy one afternoon in Cabo.

Check flights on Tripadvisor!

Fabulous Photo Friday: Laguna Beach

February 15, 2019 By Tam Warner 16 Comments

The California coastline has been completely developed, and the sheer number of people residing there is astronomical. Houses and apartments and condominiums dot the landscape, and yet the incredible lure of the ocean is almost impossible to resist. Laguna Beach is irrestible. There is something about the way the town sits on the hills looking down at an often rugged coast that catches one’s breath. My favorite walk in Orange County is Heisler Park in Laguna Beach, an ecological reserve with walkways and paths to unbelievable coastal views. When you go to Southern California, make time to visit Heisler Park! There is no prettier view in Laguna Beach.

How Do You Decide Where You Will Travel in 2019?

How do you decide? Do you plan far in advance, or are you a spur of the moment type of person?

My first step on Antarctic soil was a dream come true!

If I lean one way or another, it is to plan far in advance, but I’m always up for spontaneity! When you are an advance planner, you do tend to miss out on some of last minute trips!

Sweet Sweet Dallas at Deck the Hall Street Coffee in Dallas

The holidays are a magical time of year, and time to hit Deck the Hall Street! ✨ I adore the festivity and decor of the season! To me, December 1st officially kicks off the season so to get in the spirit, I hit up #deckthehallstreet at @fictioncoffeeshop ! For a month, Fiction Coffee transforms itself into a festive and cheerful Christmas themed wonderland with wreaths, lights, a tree and a fireplace with stockings. 🎄❄️⛄️ To boot, a custom mural painted by @allikdesign adorns the side of the building and festive coffee mugs in the shapes of Santa, reindeer and snowmen abound for customers dining in to enjoy their hot beverages. I enjoy the Fa La La Latte with cinnamon and lavender. There are other drinks cooked with a simple espresso machine like Peppermint Dreams and O Christmas Tea. There are also coffee free drinks like White Christmas Wassail and HoHoHot Cocoa!

I also have to point out that I will no longer be eating croissants. I’ve discovered Kouign amann and I’m never going back. It’s similar to a croissant but has a caramelized sugar bottom. The layers are flaky, buttery and sugary… a phenomenal combo with the crunch on the bottom. I can not recommend this pasty enough!! A++ for the Kouign amann!

Be sure to go visit this adorable shop for coffee and pastry (and @tacodeli tacos should you want a taco!) Dress warm if it’s cold out and grab a photo of your adorable holiday mug and the mural! It’ll be a new holiday tradition as it has become one for me!

Sweet Sweet Dallas and her Favorite Event, the Texas State Fair!
