The Stones!

We’re in AZ for the rescheduled Rolling Stones concert. Whew, it’s HOT here!! Fortunately we’ve had ample time in the pool and a/c, so we could fully enjoy some quality time with family here in the desert. We’re excited for music with friends tonight and S. Rad is super stoked on seeing the Stones live…

Wow, the Pacific Northwest does not disappoint! Views, nature, blooming flowers, water, TREES…it’s quite spectacular. And we’ve been able to get some awesome exploring in. Here’s the highlight reel of one of our recent trips: Sequim, WA (pronounced squim): awesome dry(er) region on the peninsula that is the largest producer of lavender in the U.S….

WA for the summer!

Growing up in the sunshine and warm desert living of Arizona, I don’t think I ever considered Washington state to be a place I may reside. But I also didn’t think I’d marry an adorable guy I’d met in the 5th grade. Never know what the future may hold, right?!? On our trek north from…

Not sure why?!

Over two years ago I reserved the domain theradventures.com… Fast forward to September 2017 as I contemplated building a website for my paralegal consulting business, the domain reservation was a memory lost deep in my filing cabinet (Super Brain anyone?). As AA and I developed our branding and (re)naming campaign, I had an epiphany …THERADVENTURES…

Feed Me, Seymour

One of S-Rad’s nicknames for me is mouse –> I’m a small, food-driven mammal who in some way or another is thinking of food at any and every given moment. Planning dinner while eating breakfast, thinking of what the lunch menu may include too… We’re new to the central valley area, so I did some…

Fall 2018 Explorations

S-Rad had 5 days off this past week/weekend and my workload was light, so we took off in the truck with Carloso for some exploring. We headed west out of Fresno towards our first night’s destination, an area known as the Wagon Caves. It’s about 3 hours from our place which includes a drive through…
