Top 10 Highlights from Dublin, Ireland

Jan 3, 2022
Katie
Dublin is one of my favorite places to visit. Tyler and I celebrated NYE 2018 there, after we spent the holidays making our way through Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris. Dublin served as our home base on our 2019 girls' trip to Ireland, allowing us to easily access other cities around the country. And of course, we have plans to return there this March, bringing our son on his first international trip. But when I think of Dublin, I first think of my first trip there in December 2016. We spent a week in the city, and it won me over for life. These are the top 10 highlights from that trip...

Katie’s 2021 Travel Wrap Up

Dec 27, 2021

2020 taught us a lot, but 2021 even more, despite it being the quietest year for travel I've had in a long time. In January of this year, we had our son - and if road tripping while pregnant was tricky, taking any sort of trip with the baby hit a whole new level. I made just three major trips this year...

Two years ago today, I was traveling with Tyler and his parents to Edinburgh. We were stoked to be spending our holidays in Scotland, after spending the Christmas before in Belgium.

It worked out great because we already had the time off from work, and once our parents accepted that we were not coming home for the holidays, we could make our way to Belgium stress-free. These were the best parts...

Dreaming of Our Next Vacation

Nov 23, 2021
Katie
Last weekend, Tyler turned to me and said, "We need a vacation." I feel that. It's been hard to accept that travel isn't as easy as it used to be for us, for several reasons. But that doesn't mean it can't be done - it just means we need to adapt it for our current phase of life. You know, the one where we're raising a kid and trying to get through a global pandemic. 😅

4 Days in Boulder, Colorado

Katie
Two years ago, our Iceland crew reunited in Boulder, Colorado, for the holiday weekend. We got in late at night, but we had four full days ahead of us to explore. While Colorado is definitely a great 4th of July destination, I’d argue it’s an even better one during the fall and winter. Here’s what we did...

How to Fly with a Breast Pump

Nov 2, 2021
Katie
I woke up at 3:30 this morning so I could manage my morning routine, as well as finish packing my AWAY bag with my final must-bring: my Spectra breast pump. learned last year that road tripping while pregnant is no joke, and between our recent trip to San Francisco and this one, I've learned there are a lot of nuances to traveling with a breast pump as well. These are my recommendations.
