We’re Going to Ireland!

May 17, 2021
Katie
Ireland was the first international trip that Tyler and I took together. We flew to Dublin in December 2016, spending a week there before making it home just in time to celebrate the holidays - unlike subsequent years. We stayed in a tiny hotel on the “wrong” side of the river, but we had the week to explore and fall in love with the country; I swore I’d be back soon.

What to Do When An Airline Changes Your Flight

May 10, 2021
Katie
Our research and trip almost came to a halt when I got the email two weeks ago that the airline had changed our flights. Every single leg of our trip had changed, and we lost several hours in San Francisco - while gaining several hours on a layover in LAX. We had to decide what to do, figuring we had three options to choose from.

Where to Go to See Van Gogh

Emily in Paris has highlighted some really cool must-dos - like the immersive Van Gogh experience she attends in the first season. So when I saw that Van Gogh Alive had extended its stay at The Dalí, I knew I had to jump on it. I booked tickets several months ago for my husband and I to soak in the exhibit, and we finally went last week.

Salt Lake City Must-Do: Dreamscapes

Apr 19, 2021
Katie
We fit a lot of great times into this long weekend trip, but the best part was definitely Dreamscapes. Known as “Salt Lake City’s Immersive Art Experience,” it's a museum that features upcycled art created by local artists. Sara had discovered it in her research, and we knew we had to go. Laid out like a maze, the museum offers all sorts of funky vibes and cool experiences along the way!

That Time When… I Fell on a Cactus

Apr 12, 2021
Katie
We had to hustle over to Brown's Mountain after her shift to make sure we had time to get up to the top and back before sunset. Our timing was slightly off, so it was darker than we would have liked as we made our way back down the mountain. This, combined with my knack for falling, had unfortunate results.

Katie
Last week, my husband and I were lucky enough to score our first shot of the coronavirus vaccine. While there are a lot of things I’m looking forward to doing once I’m fully vaccinated, I am seriously excited about the prospect of traveling internationally again. One place that has me dreaming up new travel itineraries? Iceland. Before planning a trip to Iceland, here’s what you need to know.

10 Great Eats in Tampa, Florida

Mar 29, 2021
Katie
As I’ve mentioned previously, I definitely make an effort to eat locally when I travel. For my recent visits to Savannah, Georgia, Charleston, South Carolina and Asheville, North Carolina, I did some extensive research to find great local restaurants. So this year, I applied that same goal to eating at home. Since Tampa is so close, I also included it in my research! These are the top 10 Tampa-local restaurants that I really enjoyed in the last year or so.
