Watcho the Camacho
Located on the banks of the Illinois River in East Peoria, Illinois is the Burger Barge restaurant. No, it’s not an actual barge, but it certainly looks as though a barge or boat of some type ran ashore and then took off again, leaving behind remnants such as weathered anchors, ropes, and other nautical items.

I was visiting home last week in the lovely town of Morton, Illinois. I had a great time with friends and family and arrived back to Minneapolis exhausted! I did visit a few restaurants and, of course, the Pumpkin Festival…all of which I will write about soon. However, for today I thought I would just [...]

When thinking of Philadelphia, I naturally think of Philly cheesesteak, the Liberty Bell and the Declaration of Independence. After that, however, nothing much comes to mind. That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised by the food scene that I experienced while there.
When traveling to another town, I’m usually the first one to do research to [...]

I love steak…I love cheese…I love bread…so when in Philly I KNEW I had to try a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Better than that, along with two friends, I tried three Philly cheesesteak sandwiches at three different restaurants…all in one day.

Life is full of lessons. Sometimes you have to search for the meanings they bring us and other times they almost reach out and smack us across the face. Who would have known that there was a little life lesson in handling rental car keys? Not me.
Kyle and I recently returned from a week long [...]

There is nothing like waking up in the morning to a wonderfully, home cooked breakfast. I’m not usually a bed and breakfast fan - typically the bed(room)s are too Victorian and the breakfast is an awkward event of eating in a common room with complete strangers. While I would say that eating with complete strangers [...]

First of all, thank you so much for all the recommendations of places to visit in the Napa/Sonoma area. Although we could not visit them all, we did hit several and we had a great time!
Going to wine country can be daunting with so many wineries to choose from. We had been to the Napa [...]

We spent a long weekend in California last week - visiting both San Francisco and the Napa Valley area. It was a much needed respite and a great time with friends.
Our first day was spent in San Francisco and, while I had hoped to do a little more sightseeing, the day got away from me [...]

I’m looking forward to an upcoming trip to the Napa Valley area…can’t wait for some good food and some good wine! I’m dreaming of a time not so long ago when I was lounging at Bouza Winery in Uruguay. Ahhh, the memories!
We’ve been to the Napa area one time before and loved it. Our favorite [...]

A weekend of total relaxation with gourmet dinners, hikes in the woods, reading a great book and sleeping in. All shared with perfect companionship.
While reflecting back on the weekend on the final morning, I drank this cup of coffee. Perfection.
