How Much Did I Spend on My July Switzerland Trip?
I recently just got back from 10 days across Switzerland, and my gosh was it magical! This was my first European summer and the first time I have crossed the Atlantic since 2017! And let me tell you the trip did not disappoint.
But everyone knows Europe is expensive, and even more expensive in the middle of summer. And ofcourse the stereotype that comes with Switzerland is that its EXPESNIVE!
PSA: Ben & Jerry’s Creamy, Dreamy Non-Dairy Summer Tour is Happening Now!
Naturally, when I saw that Ben & Jerry’s was on tour in Tampa last week, I knew I wanted to be there. Tyler and I were able to coordinate our work schedules for a quick pop to the Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop in Midtown Tampa to see what this Creamy, Dreamy Non-Dairy Summer Tour was all about. Here’s what you need to know...
3 Tampa Date Night Restaurants
July is off to a strong start, I’ll tell you what! I have been fortunate enough to have had some fantastic nights out already this month at some great Tampa restaurants. If you’re looking for a date night spot in the area, look no further - all of these places have a great selection of dishes with terrific service. Bonus: each night was $160 (or less) for two, including drinks and tip.
June 2024 Highlights from Tampa Bay
Y’all, June was a whirlwind! My apologies for my disappearance here over the past few weeks - I am very glad to be feeling a little more sorted after a hectic month. Our kiddo just started at preschool at the beginning of the summer, so when we weren’t dealing with all that’s associated with that (read: new germs), here are some of the cool places we managed to visit...
Best Tour in the Caribbean
I may be a bit biased but I promise if you do this tour you will agree with me. On my most recent cruise, we made a stop to the beautiful island of St. Lucia. It was my fist time ever visiting the island and this tour made me fall in love and St. Lucia quickly became my new happy place.
Spotlight: Bonnet Springs Park
When we saw the park welcome sign, we knew immediately why this place is so popular. It’s huge! Per their website, the park is 168 acres, as seen on their map below, and it has a ton of activities. After entering the park, we still needed to drive for about five minutes to get close to the playground. That parking lot fills up early, so if you need to park elsewhere, not to worry - there is a tram. That’s right, the park is so big it needs a tram.
We’re Going to Australia!
I am very far from the days when I was asking myself “what’s my next trip,” and I couldn’t be more excited. Not only are we going to Switzerland, Germany, and Ireland later this year, but we’re also booking into 2025 with a big one: Brisbane, Australia.
Highlights from San Diego, California
I am back at home after a fantastic week in San Diego! This was my first time visiting, and I can see why it’s so popular - it is absolutely gorgeous. While I did spend most of my time there working, I still got to see a bit of all the city has to offer. Here were the highlights...
Katie’s Travel Plans for Summer 2024
Y’all, how is it already May? I cannot get over how quickly this year has already gone by. This summer is prepping to be a big one for travel, much like the summer of 2022. So far, this is what I have on the docket...

Fortunately for all of us, her new novel, Funny Story, comes out tomorrow. Not only do I expect this book to spotlight northern Michigan, but I am super excited to celebrate this evening at Book + Bottle’s midnight release party in St. Pete. If you didn’t get tickets, not to fret - there are tons of options available for this book release celebration, with most of the events taking place tomorrow...
