Cost Breakout: Bachelorette Party in Austin, Texas

Aug 22, 2022
Katie
A destination bachelorette party can get pricey, quickly. Part of why I chose a cruise for my bachelorette in 2017 was because it was very cost effective. When it’s not your party, you’re at the whim of the bride (and the MOH). Fortunately, Chelsea and her sister, Caitlin, set expectations early on of what costs would be, so I knew what I was getting into, and we were able to spread out the costs over several months. After I headed home from Austin, this is what I’d spent...

Must-Eat: Cantina Louie

Aug 16, 2022
Katie
Before leaving for Jacksonville, I had asked Aaron where to eat. He grew up in the area and still has family there. While he gave a few restaurant recommendations, he said, "Cantina Louie is one of my favorite slow casual Mexican [restaurants]." That was enough to win me over.

Where to Eat in Toronto, Canada

Aug 2, 2022
Katie
I still can’t get over what a great time Tyler and I had in Toronto last week, celebrating our anniversary. We went to Niagara Falls, stayed at an amazing boutique hotel (highly, highly recommend), and ate so much. As it turns out, Toronto is a foodie haven, and there are plenty of great spots to eat. Here’s what we enjoyed...

How to Book a Day Trip to Niagara Falls from Toronto

Jul 19, 2022
Katie
When I shared that we had changed our anniversary trip plans to Toronto, I got some really excellent feedback on things to do. While most of those “things” are actually delicious-looking restaurants, I was told explicitly (thanks, Erin!) to “definitely do Niagara Falls!” As we found in Iceland, we loveeee waterfalls. Which means we’re definitely doing it.

Highlights from July in Colorado

Jul 11, 2022
Katie
Over the last few days, I’ve had my social media channels remind me that this time in 2019, I was living it up in Colorado. While I went in November 2019 and February 2020, the July trip to Colorado taught me all the summery things to love about the state. These were just a few of the best parts...

Highlights from the Jersey Shore

Jul 5, 2022
Katie
My summer travel plans have officially gained another trip: Asbury Park, New Jersey. Over the holiday weekend, we got an invite to Tyler’s cousin’s wedding in September, which will take place on the Jersey Shore. It’s been a minute since we saw his family, but a few things stand out from our 2019 trip to visit them - for starters, it was a very cold January! Otherwise…

Katie’s Summer 2022 Travel Plans

Jun 27, 2022
Katie
When I wrote my 2021 travel wrap up, I hoped that 2022 would be a year with a lot more traveling. Boy, has it been! So far this year, I have taken my first solo trip, exploring Osprey and Venice, Florida; joined the extended family for an Irish vacation; and added a new country to my list, visiting Madrid and Barcelona in Spain. After these past couple years, that alone would seem like a lot. But this summer is looking hotter and hotter with travel plans...

Our 4-Day Itinerary for Barcelona, Spain

Jun 20, 2022
Katie
Fun fact about Barcelona: Spanish isn’t the primary language spoken there. It’s actually the capital of the region of Spain known as Catalonia, where the language is Catalan. Fortunately for us, most people spoke both Spanish and Catalan (as well as quite a bit of English), but we definitely felt the language barrier more here than in Madrid. Here’s what else we learned and did in our four days in Barcelona...
