Santa Barbara County Wine Tasting: A Weekend Travel Guide
Wine tasting has quickly become one of my favorite ways to spend a day or weekend.

A Delta Sky Club Christmas
Merry Christmas! Live from the Delta Sky Club at LAX. I have spent Christmas at this exact location for 3 years in a row. It all aligns perfectly with how our family celebrates. My family has our big dinner on Christmas Eve. Then my husband and I fly to visit his family on Christmas day to spend the holiday and New Years together. Traveling on Christmas day happens to be the cheapest day to fly around the holidays and I am always going to take advantage of a good deal, especially during gift giving season!
I love the Delta Sky Club at LAX. It is one of the newer lounges in the country for Delta and I feel very blessed that my home sky club is my favorite one I’ve been to. It has made going to LAX infinitely better and has me looking forward to being at the airport. Anything that makes travel easier, especially at such a busy airport is a blessing. Free food, drinks, clean bathrooms, space to relax and a quiet atmosphere are all the great qualities of an airport lounge. Feel your stress melt away as you enjoy your time in this airport lounge.

Hotel Spolight: The AC Hotel Downtown Oakland

Once inside, the contemporary and timeless design of the lobby had us feeling assured we picked the right hotel for our weekend. Checking in was a breeze and we were up in our 15th floor room within minutes of entering.
The hotel has a friendly staff, clean rooms, and a decent breakfast spread. The lobby had a lovely fire going and movies playing on the wall. There were plenty of places to get comfortable should you wish to hang out. The bar and restaurant also open in the evening if you are looking to enjoy a drink without having to leave the hotel….
