We’ve spent a lot of time in the mountains of Colorado, but it wasn’t until recently that we made our way to Mile High City. We had a fantastic time in Denver, particularly in the hip RiNo and Five Points neighborhoods.

Below, we list our favorite places to eat, drink, and see in Denver: (more…)

The 12 Best Fall Destinations in the U.S. in 2019

Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast The 12 Best Fall Destinations in the US in 2019

Are you a proud leaf peeper? Do relish every moment of pumpkin spice season? Does the change in temperatures get you giddy?

If so, then you are going to want to take notes as we go through our lists on today’s episode. We have done the best fall destinations a couple of times in the past so this year we are changing it up and sticking only to US destinations.

This podcast can best be absorbed with a cup of hot coffee or tea, a snuggly blanket, and your favorite comfy chair or sofa…Enjoy!

The 12 Best Ice Cream (and Gelato) In The World

Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast The 12 Best Ice Cream (and Gelato) In The World

If you have ever listened to this podcast in the past then you are very aware of our love for Ice Cream/Gelato. Since it is summertime we thought this is the perfect time to dive into our favorite places around the world for this delicious dessert (& it should be eaten at all times during the day). Here are a few of the things that we looked for when judging/ranking these:

  • Quality of ice cream – taste & consistency
  • Variety of flavors
  • Split Scoop
  • Do they let you taste prior to selection
  • How nice was the staff
  • Price

Get a pen and paper ready (or just scroll down) to jot down all 12 of our best ice cream experiences from our travels and create your own ice cream itinerary for your next adventure.   Today’s episode has been sponsored by our friends at Tortuga Backpacks & Sauv’s!
