Enjoy a Delicious Burger at 1188 Brewing Company in John Day, Oregon
After a day of hiking and exploring the Painted Hills, nothing hits the spot like a good burger and that’s exactly what we found at 1188 Brewing Company in John Day, Oregon.

Our burger was juicy, bacon was crispy, lettuce was fresh and the bun was buttery toasted perfection.

Quick Bites in St Augustine
Our St Augustine itinerary was packed full, so rather than using valuable time sitting down for a big meal, we opted to try several popular stops for quick bites all around the downtown historic district. There were so many options, it was really hard to chose. We strolled up and down St George Street twice before we finally made up our minds! Luckily everything was an enjoyable 10 minute walk near the Colonial Quarter. 24 Cathedral Place, St. Augustine, FL 32084 There are five Australian themed Kookaurra locations in St Augustine, but the original location is extra great because it’s located right next to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine.

Lunch at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco
The Garden Court at the Palace Hotel When I’m planning out our travel itinerary, I love to find really special places to eat. I had such a good experience with the afternoon tea at the Georgian Hotel in Seattle that I wanted to find a similar venue to enjoy tea in San Francisco. Months before our trip, I stumbled upon the Garden Court at the Palace Hotel. Afternoon tea is served on Saturdays and as luck would have it we were going to be in San Francisco over the weekend. I was beyond excited! Unfortunately, I waited too long to make reservations and the tea seating had been filled. I…
