That Time When… I Took A Birthday Trip to Illinois
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...
Disney for Adults
Disney isn’t just for kids, no matter what people might say. And no, its not just for your “kid at heart”. Adults can have just as much fun at Disney. Let me show you how.
Must-Eat: Days Ice Cream
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.
Four Full Days Around the Disney World
This last week, I took a well needed girls trip to the happiest place on earth; Walt Disney World.
Here is how our trip broke out!
Our 5-Day Itinerary for Toronto, Canada
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
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...
Heading to the Happiest Place on Earth
To round out my summer of travel, I will be heading to Disney World with a group of close college friends. It is crazy to think that we all haven’t been together, since October of 2019! How times and life has flown by since.
Must-Eat: Cantina Louie
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.
Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Seas Ship Review: Activities Edition
As a part of a mini serious I will be doing deep dives into Harmony of the Seas. Giving you the good, the bad, the ugly, and all the tips in between.
This week we are chatting onboard activities. On a mega-ship you can expect there is plenty to do. But what should you expect before boarding? And what activities, should you not dare to miss?
We’re Going to New Zealand!
Come November, we’re heading to New Zealand! I can hardly believe that as I type it, but like when we booked tickets to Spain, it started with a Scott’s Cheap Flights alert...
