Have Cookie, Will Travel: Crumbl Cookies Spotlight

Feb 28, 2022
Katie
Over the years I lived in Gainesville, I was spoiled by Midnight Cookies’ big, warm cookies with decadent flavors, and Crumbl brought just that thing back into my life. The cookies were so good, when Liz and I got to Colorado, I insisted we fit in a Crumbl visit in between our snow tubing and ice castle-ing. Here's what you need to know...

Feb 22, 2022
Katie
We had some gorgeous weather over the long weekend! I made the most of it by spending a lot of time outside. Between old favorites and new discoveries, I got a lot of park time in; if you’re looking for a great park to stroll around and soak in the sunshine, look no further.

We’re Going to Spain!

Feb 14, 2022
Katie
On Tuesday, Scott’s Cheap Flights sent out a deal that highlighted several deals to Europe from my preferred airports: Helsinki, Finland (tempting, tempting); Dublin, Ireland (one of my faves); and Madrid, Spain (Oh, hello!). Madrid was the one that really caught my eye - after all, Spain is still on our must-visit list, and we’ve been itching to go since our Barcelona trip was canceled. So I fired up Google Flights and started playing with the dates.

How Much Is A Solo Trip?

Feb 7, 2022
Katie
I have seen a lot of people ask this question in travel groups. Of course, the answer is that it depends! What is it you want to do? How fancy of a place do you prefer to stay in? Will you be taking public transportation or driving? What I can tell you definitively is how much my solo trip to Osprey and Venice cost. Here’s the breakdown...

Solo Trip Recap: Osprey and Venice, Florida

Jan 31, 2022
Katie
Had I heard of Osprey before? No. But considering the price came out to under $100 per night, I figured it was worth exploring, especially because it was close to Sarasota, one of my first thoughts on where I’d go, as well as right next to Venice, which I’ve only heard good things about. Early Friday afternoon, I gassed up the car and headed south. Here’s what I did...

Update: the Last Rodeo in Austin, Texas

Jan 10, 2022
Katie
When I last talked about planning for my friend Chelsea’s bachelorette party in Austin, Texas, the only thing we really had planned was the location! Since my bachelorette party was on a cruise (which I’d highly recommend), I didn’t realize all that goes into planning the different stays and activities. Now, these are the excursions we have planned...

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
Katie
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...
