That Time When… I Took A Birthday Trip to Illinois

Sep 12, 2022
Katie
Ultimately, I decided to take a trip to Illinois and spend the few days before my birthday there. I could visit with my family, as well as get a taste of a new state. It was a whirlwind few days, as I tried to see everything - while still staying at my dad’s house, which wasn’t quite as close to Chicago as I’d originally thought. We did one new place a day, which looked like...

Must-Eat: Days Ice Cream

Sep 6, 2022
Katie
Days Ice Cream was packed. The line went off the porch and down the sidewalk, which told us that this ice cream was worth waiting for - especially as people lined up behind us! Fortunately, the line moved quickly, and in less than 10 minutes, we were able to place our order at the window.

Our 5-Day Itinerary for Toronto, Canada

Aug 29, 2022
Katie
We’ll be heading out to the Jersey Shore later this week for a wedding, but I still haven’t logged all our receipts for our anniversary trip to Toronto… That just means I can claim it’s “in progress” for longer, right? We had an absolutely wonderful time in Canada; this is how we spent it...

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...
