If you are headed to Boulder Colorado and looking for a luxury hotel, there really aren’t a lot of options especially if you want to stay downtown. The two choices are Hotel Boulderado and St. Julien Hotel and Spa. We chose the St. Julien Hotel and Spa for a recent stay based on friend’s recommendation and overall, we were quite pleased. Hotel Boulderado is victorian-inspired…

And mind you, they are not all created equal. While some are high end and great for the family, others are more like boot camp and geared strictly toward the athlete….

I’ve always wanted to go to Boulder Colorado, but it took my husband doing an Ironman race for me to get there. We stayed right downtown just a block from the famous Pearl Street Mall. That meant it was easy walking to shops and restaurants and there are many. That said, it’s also an easy town to get around in driving wise. We happened upon…

Instead of the usual bottle of wine or flowers, think a bit outside of the box and bring something unexpected.

It was my first visit to Raleigh, but it was immediately obvious what a young, vibrant city it is. So many neighborhoods have or are currently undoing gentrification. As a result, there are restaurants everywhere. One street, Glenwood Avenue, was literally blocks of one restaurant after another. That said, we do have a few favorites worth sharing. If you are visiting from out of town,…

We’ve been to Deer Valley, Utah, on many occasions, but only to ski. And while it’s our go-to winter vacation, everyone who lives there always tells us, “If you love Deer Valley in the winter, you have to come back in the summer.” So, when it came time to pick a spot to celebrate my husband’s birthday, guess what was my first choice? And, oh,…

North Carolina is not a state I’ve spent much time visiting, except for Asheville. So, when I found out I would be spending 4 days in Raleigh, I was not sure what to expect. Well, what a pleasant surprise to find a clean, young, and vibrant city filled with gentrified areas, tons of restaurants, and culture to spare. And I also found there was no…

Having a triathlete in your life can be a real strain on personal and family relationships.

All of this activity doesn’t leave a lot of quality time for you and…
