Disconnecting to Reconnect
The last few weeks have been filled with work stress for one of us here at No Kids, Will Travel. We felt the need to do something different that would force two social media professionals to unplug for at least an hour or two. So, last Saturday after a night of tossing and turning because […]
A Traveling Toyland
We all had a favorite childhood toy growing up, whether it was a stuffed bear, doll, or action figure. The thoughts of the moments we shared with our inanimate friend warm our heart even now that we are older. We look back at the toys from our childhood in the 50s, 60s and 70s (and for […]
Is This Heaven? No, it’s Pittsburgh’s Bicycle Heaven
I stumbled across a unique spot in Pittsburgh the other day my attempts to unload some 1970s era bicycles. I imagined that it was going to be easy. I was going to go down to a bike shop about a mile from our apartment and drop them off where they would be recycled for parts […]
A Burger Worth Waiting For…
Amanda has been waiting for this moment for months, ever since winter set in here in the Allegheny Mountains (and no it’s not spring). Well, spring is one of them, but the other is a day that’s warm enough for an evening walk to Market Square in Pittsburgh and the best burgers the Steel City […]
Whiskey’s Roots in America
Who knew a wonderful world of whiskey was waiting to be discovered in the heart of Pittsburgh at the Wigle (pronounced “wiggle”) Distillery? I was definitely surprised. Wigle distillery, established in 2011 in the Strip District of Pittsburgh, creates dozens of spirits, whiskeys, gins and honey spirits. The small facility gives them the flexibility to […]
A Doctor’s Appointment
The theater was packed (the show sold out in 24 hours) and all 2,300 seats were filled as the lights dimmed and a hush blanketed the audience. The Bendum Center, which we’ve mentioned before, often hosts great acts from opera and theater to classical and rock music. The acoustic were designed more than 90 years ago, carrying the […]
Setting the Holiday Mood in Pittsburgh
The holiday season in Pittsburgh begins with a bang — a lot of bangs to be accurate. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amanda Changuris (@amandachanguris) I’m not sure what it is about this town and its pyromania, but I have witnessed more fireworks in the last 10 months than in my entire life […]
Kayaking the Allegheny
Ever since the weather warmed to a reasonable temperature here in our new hometown of Pittsburgh, I’ve been watching clusters of bright yellow kayaks slip up and down the shoreline of the Allegheny River. I’ve never been in a kayak, but it looked like fun and I’m a big fan of anything on or around […]
A Night at the Theater with King Arthur (and a rabbit with sharp, pointy teeth)
The phrase “who knew?” is said a lot these days in the Changuris household, especially in reference to our new home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The “who knew?” of this post has to do with the theater scene and that there are six theaters in the Cultural District as venues for the symphony, opera, theater troupes, […]
