Katie’s Summer 2022 Travel Plans
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
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...
5-Day Summer Itinerary in Maine
I recently returned from a far too short trip to Maine. I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone on this trip. I traded in beach front relaxation for beautiful coastal hikes and plenty of fresh Maine Lobster. Check out my 5-day low key itinerary to Bar Harbor, Maine.
Spotlight: The Salty Donut
Y’all know I love all kinds of desserts, ranging from Crumbl Cookies’s cookies to Bright Ice’s ice cream. Of course, I do have my favorite: donuts. Whether they’re vegan or Voodoo, I never pass up the chance to sample a possible new favorite. Which is why when Sara asked if I wanted to go to Orlando this past weekend to try out The Salty Donut, I jumped all over it.
Music in Music City
Do not go to Nashville and expect to not be consumed in Country Music. Everywhere you go from the airport to Broadway you will hear some of the best live music. And it is absolutely my favorite part of the city. As a die hard Country Music fan I can’t myself singing along to all my favorite songs from eating dinner and hear it over the speakers to right in front of the stage at a classic Broadway Honky Tonk.
Our 4-Day Itinerary for Madrid, Spain
In February, we found cheap flights to Madrid out of Tampa, and we jumped on the chance to finally go to Spain. As we had planned, we split our time between Madrid and Barcelona; the cities are both very different, but also both worth a visit. Here’s what we did with our four days in Madrid...
Where I Ate In Nashville
I am obsessed with Nashville, from the music, to the sites, to the food; I absolutely love this city. So be prepared for all the Nashville content coming your way because I could talk about it all day.
So to kick off my Nashville series lets talk about food.
Viva Las Vegas
You all may recall, that time when I went to Vegas with my parents. Well here we are again folks.
That Time When… Our Son Was By Himself on the Plane
We had gotten a great deal on Basic Economy flights, so I wanted to make sure to check in as soon as I was able, ensuring the best chance at good seats. This worked out well for our long leg to Madrid, where we had three seats together. But our first leg from Tampa had none of us sitting together - not even our one-year-old, who was set to be all by himself in a middle seat!
Go Nuts for Coconut Charlie’s
Guys! I just found my favorite beach bar! Located right here on St. Pete Beach, Coconut Charlie’s is on my favorite’s list for sure.
