Katie’s 2021 Travel Wrap Up
2020 taught us a lot, but 2021 even more, despite it being the quietest year for travel I've had in a long time. In January of this year, we had our son - and if road tripping while pregnant was tricky, taking any sort of trip with the baby hit a whole new level. I made just three major trips this year...
A Childhood Christmas Tradition
Growing up one of my favorite parts about Christmas was actually the day after. Every year my cousin Katie and I would go to Busch Gardens as our Christmas present. It was one of my favorite traditions because we got to spend all day jus the two of us roaming around the park until it closed.
4 Days in Edinburgh, Scotland
Two years ago today, I was traveling with Tyler and his parents to Edinburgh. We were stoked to be spending our holidays in Scotland, after spending the Christmas before in Belgium. We arrived at Gatwick early in the morning on December 22 and had brunch at Giraffe before getting on the train to Edinburgh…
The Christmas Vacation Ordeal
This Christmas I am more than excited than many other years because we are going on a trip to celebrate the Holidays. I can only remember one other time in my life that we traveled during the holiday season, so this is definitely a special occasion.
Highlights from Brussels, Belgium
In 2018, after poking around in Google Flights’ Explore Tool, I found a great deal on flights that would have us spending Christmas in Brussels. It worked out great because we already had the time off from work, and once our parents accepted that we were not coming home for the holidays, we could make our way to Belgium stress-free. These were the best parts...
The Time I Took A Winter Trip to DC
A few years back, my brother and I took a sibling trip to our Nation’s Capital, Washington, DC. We specifically wanted to go in December to enjoy all of the holiday décor as well as the cold weather. However we did not expect rain, sleet and snow.
Spotlight: Enchant Christmas
This weekend, Megan and I went to Sonder Social Club, which you may recognize from her roundup of Tampa Bay Christmas bars, and it got me thinking - what else can I do to get into the holiday spirit? The answer: Enchant Christmas.
The Best Thing About Christmas Markets
Since I’ve opted not to go home for the holidays a couple times, instead taking advantage of cheap flights we found to Belgium and Scotland, I’ve gotten to see some of the wonders of Europe during Christmastime. My favorite part: the Christmas markets. And the best part of those is...
My Winter Travel Bucket List
Being a true born and raised Floridian, I absolutely love winter vacations. The best part about traveling in the winter time is a get to come back home to the nice Florida heat. While I may not be taking a winter wonderland vacation this year, I can continue to grow my bucket list just like you all should as well! If you are looking for inspiration, I’ll give you a peek into my winter travel bucket list.
Dreaming of Our Next Vacation
Last weekend, Tyler turned to me and said, "We need a vacation." I feel that. It's been hard to accept that travel isn't as easy as it used to be for us, for several reasons. But that doesn't mean it can't be done - it just means we need to adapt it for our current phase of life. You know, the one where we're raising a kid and trying to get through a global pandemic. 😅
