  • We have crossed borders for ice cream, driven hours for breakfast pastries, and now we fly across the country to get our favorite cookie of all time! The lengths we will go for sweets ;)

    Who are Katie & Andrew?
    Katie grew up in a small town on the coast of Washington State (think Twilight country), and Andrew grew up in San Diego, CA. We met when we were both interns working at Disneyland and have been inseparable ever since.
    After getting married in 2015 we decided we wanted to dedicate our lives to adventure and fun!
    We have traveled to 25 states, 9 countries so far, and have visited Disney theme parks probably over 500 times in the last 12 years. We are always looking for the next venture, because as we like to say, "you can make even the simplest things like going to the grocery store fun."
    When we are not filming or traveling you can probably find us making pancakes or traversing whatever city we are in to see all of the local movie/tv filming locations in person!

    The architecture tours are great - highly recommend. Even native Chicagoans enjoy these tours. Unique way to see the city, learn about its history and architecture.

    My mom was a total square, but she had a roommate who was kind of crazy. The roommate got invited to the Chicago Playboy Mansion in the 70s and took my mom along. The roommate proceeded to get drunk and got them all kicked out. That lady provided so many great anecdotes for my mom

    The Playboy HQ at 919 Michigan was even more impressive. Decorated with the originals of the artwork that was featured in the magazines, it was a literal museum of contemporary art.

    I am a lifelong Chicagoan for the most part. This is the most beautiful city in the USA bar none. I travelled for work a lot so I can judge. However, the communist mayor and our worthless governor who spent 500 million of his own money to get elected (real tells you something about this slob) means I’ll probably move. Tourists though…come as long as you don’t have to pay real estate taxes, for the pension crisis or for a lot of gas.
