Zeke and Terri Adventures
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 4 ม.ค. 2024
Keeping it spicy as we navigate our lives and the world, mostly together.
We are empty-nest, midlife adventure travelers from the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2021, after 25 years of marriage, and nearly getting divorced, we accidentally rebooted our relationship and embarked on a new set of adventures, embracing our differences and challenging ourselves to grow individually, and as a couple, on a daily basis. We couldn't be more different, but we have a long history, a solid foundation, and a steadfast commitment to making it work, as we travel and explore the world.
We have two young adult children, one in college and one recent college graduate. Terri is an author, avid tennis player, loves to read, learn new languages, go to museums, and is a commercially rated helicopter pilot, mostly flying around the Bay Area. Zeke is an avid cyclist, loves the outdoors, and shares his passion for both by teaching people how to ride and maintain bicycles of all kinds.

Tranquil Escape: National Gallery of Art West Building (Washington DC)
The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC is an extraordinary museum comprised of three parts: East Building (modern/contemporary), Sculpture Garden, and the West Building, the focus of this Tranquil Escape, which covers everything else.
The West Building is beautiful and has an extensive collection as you will see in the video. Each section is unique in its decoration and there's something for everyone.
Enjoy!

Monuments, WNBA and Apple Vision Pro (Zeke and Terri go to Washington)
มุมมอง 37วันที่ผ่านมา
We'd hoped to leisurely ride bikes around the National Mall and to all of the monuments and memorials in Washington, DC but had a monumental failure in the process. It wasn't the best way to wrap up our 12-day trip to DC but the WNBA game and our experience at the Carnegie Library / DC Apple Store with the Apple Vision Pro helped make up for the earlier failure.

Checking Out Real Estate in DC (Zeke and Terri go to Washington)

We toured a charming, somewhat dated, white house at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave that would require a significant amount of work to match our minimalist and modern aesthetic. After which we went to a similarly dated performing arts center attributed to one of our democratic presidents (The Kennedy Center) to see Mamma Mia! All kidding aside, we were surprised at how much we enjoyed the White House se...

Women's Professional Soccer and a Lot of Art (and coffee)

We continued our Washington DC adventure (Zeke and Terri go to Washington) with some women's sports and a lot of art. We are still loving how easy it is to get around on the DC Metro. In this video, we went to the Audi field to watch an NWSL soccer game between the Washington Spirit and Kansas City Current. We also went to the Hirshhorn Museum (amazing) and the National Galley of Art including ...

A lot of who?
my well-meaning friend: are you sure you have enough space in your backpack for another book? me: 9:33
@@theodoremead you are hilarious
We are thinking of staying a month in Spello in October 2025. Enough to do? Livable? Thanks!
We absolutely loved Spello. It's a very small town, centrally located to a lot of other cute towns in Umbria. It was pretty sleepy the day we went in June 2023. It's definitely a hill town so you will get a workout wandering the village. As for livable, as long as you have a car, can park it near where you are staying, and you are looking to use Spello as a home base to see more of Umbria and possibly Tuscany, it could be a good option. If you are not going to have a car, this will become very small very quickly. Let us know what you decide to do. P.S. There is a fantastic restaurant in the middle of town that has amazing olive oil!
@@ZekeandTerri We are looking to do a couple of trips to the coast but we’ve already been to Tuscany, Rome, Florence and Venice and are looking to “live as Italians”, immersed into the culture and quiet. We don’t love the tourist vibe and love to walk, explore, coffee shops, etc. Can I ask where you stayed? Looking at a few places and have a friend’s niece who stays there regularly and loves the quiet. We are not planning to have a car. Thank you so much for any tips and what is the name of the restaurant? 😘
@@debramcgonnell3631 How wonderful. We stayed at Castello di Monterone in Perugia both times we were in Umbria. While it was fantastic for us, it won't be a good fit for what you want to do. It was an oasis of a home base as we drove all around Umbria to visit various towns and villages. The restaurant in Spello is Enoteca Properzio and a friend of ours went there this summer and loved it too. Check out Gubbio and Assisi as you are researching places to be for a month. There's more going on in each of these than in Spello.
Little did we know just how hot and humid it was going to get in DC.
Zeke and Terri Adventures, awesome video you deserve more views
Thank you!
Too funny!!!
Our kid was in this show and we saw the movie two weeks ago…how do you not know the words?
Thats me
Excellent response
Separate ways… then back together! The important part!❤
I love this so much!
😂😂 we are trying something new…more effing spaghetti 🤦♀️
@@TerriHansonMead It can be exhausting to try and figure out what works. good luck and hopefully the spaghetti starts to stick.
Antico Dolo, a good choice to eat well
"It's very dark in my heart," is going to be my go-to, stay-home excuse from now on.
We may need to walk for gelato 😂
naked triple creme sounds like dinner...
This appears a lot more tranquil than the actual experience because it was pretty crowded while we were there.

A special kind of stupid. Good luck.
Kamala isn’t a real nominee. She’s a stupid fucking DEI nominee 🤣
....i hated that. All of it....soulless.
I love the idea of a house/pet sit vacation. Have a great time!
@@seedfavors4all we may try to do this with other friends again in the future. It’s so funny that it’s someone you probably know from CVHS. I went to elementary school-high school with her although she’s a year behind us.
Just heard another 🍾
You look like my English teacher
Whoever can tell me when both microphones went out will win 1000 points!
Thanks. Very helpful
Ready to go back up there in winter to see the tunnels with ice!
Can not go on this tour without thinking about Phil Hartman as the tour guide in So I Married an Axe Murderer. "Everyone here calls me Vicky."
We don’t think we’ve seen this movie and when we were researching Alcatraz we were surprised to learn that part of it was filmed on Alcatraz. We may have some movie watching homework now! 😂
Highly recommend getting tickets in advance as this is a popular attraction. Lots of great history.
This a good tour and worth checking out if you are visiting San Francisco. We did the night tour but it wasn’t really dark (would have been hard to film!). Explore Fisherman’s Wharf, the Maritime Museum, and the Maritime Visitor Center and you have a solid touristy day in SF.
This is the definition of a tranquil get away. So beautiful 🇨🇦
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great off season mid week place to visit with a behind the scenes tour!
Still looking for……SQUIRREL!!!
My handsome empty nest puppy
Good Boy George looks good in the mountains!
I’d love to go to one of their themed events
Been there. Spectacular - took several tours and still didn’t get to see all of it. Days gone by. He had a female architect. The indoor pool is crazy but the outdoor pool is ethereal! I think there was also a zoo on property once. Just amazing. Brings in a lot of revenue for CA.
We want to go back to take the kitchen/cottages tour. We agree that there's a lot to see and more than you can do in one day. His architect was Julia Morgan who was the first woman to be admitted to the architecture program at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first licensed woman architect in California.
Loved the music. 👏🏻
@@joellebenvenuto it reminded us of the music played during the exhibition ❤️
Going back today to enjoy the fishies 🐠 with our youngest kid.
Next time there will be more sightseeing!
Best way to end the day!
I’ll go back!
These sunsets bring back so many great memories of all of our years in Nuevo Vallarta, both as a family and without kids. It's a lot less stressful without kids!
This is an extraordinarily beautiful part of the United States.
Looks like a warm day but it was surprisingly cool which I wasn't prepared for so I got a great hat out of the trip which I still love.
What a joy to be able to sit in front with the pilot in the cockpit. It’s where I belong after all! 😂
Paradise with the perfect song
36 hours was not enough time. Time to go back…maybe at Christmas time?
Thursday nights are especially fun at the museum and free!
I sure wish we'd seen the Telegraph Hill parrots. I've heard of them but have never seen them.
Start your visit with a stop at the Museo dei Arti e Mestieri and chat with one of the people there to get a historical and contextual foundation for your visit. We did and it really added flavor to our time there.
