A note from Sonja and John:
We travel all over the country and over the past few years we've been keeping a list of our favorite places to eat, drink, or both. And, like George Clooney's character in Up in the Air, we have our favorite travel partners too.
Here are a few of our favorite things, for your entertainment or as a reference if you're traveling.
