As if an international real estate purchase wasn’t exciting enough, we decided to double-down and remodel a few key areas. The bones and the quirks of the house made us fall in love, but a vision hit us as soon as we stepped foot inside to open up the space. It was time to put our own spin on Casa Turner.

I am sure many can relate, but it feels like your phone can suck countless hours from your day. One second you’re texting a friend and the next you’re scrolling through random people’s babies and watching dog videos. So, February 2023 is the month I decided to go social media free.

Looking for a break from our daily grind, we took a long weekend to a new Baja Sur city, called El Sargento — a quieter, hip coastal town about 30 miles east of La Paz or in our case, a 2.5 hour drive from San Jose. Ready, set, relax. Vamos to El Sargento!

We started this blog, at the time titled “There & Back Again”, as a play on the plan to eventually come back to Denver to settle down after our Baja adventures. Our trial of living in Mexico went better than expected… so we decided to stay a little while longer. Bienvenidos to our new home in San Jose del Cabo!

One of our 2021 resolutions was to keep exploring different areas of Baja Sur in our downtime. This past Memorial Day we took the opportunity to road trip up the Pacific side of our state to the city of Todos Santos.

Los Barriles is a small, quiet, yet notable Baja Sur town we have heard about since we moved to Cabo. With the July 4th long weekend upon us and a day off from work, we decided a last minute staycation road trip was much needed.
