Update: the Last Rodeo in Austin, Texas
When I last talked about planning for my friend Chelsea’s bachelorette party in Austin, Texas, the only thing we really had planned was the location! Since my bachelorette party was on a cruise (which I’d highly recommend), I didn’t realize all that goes into planning the different stays and activities. Now, these are the excursions we have planned...
2022 Travel Plans: Part 1
Happy New Year Everyone!! I absolutely love this time of year as we get to start with a clean slate and look forward to what the next 12 months has to offer. I’m personally excited for 2022 with some fun trips already plans and some more in the works. Here is what I have to look forward to so far and I would love all your recommendations!
Top 10 Highlights from Dublin, Ireland
Dublin is one of my favorite places to visit. Tyler and I celebrated NYE 2018 there, after we spent the holidays making our way through Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris. Dublin served as our home base on our 2019 girls' trip to Ireland, allowing us to easily access other cities around the country. And of course, we have plans to return there this March, bringing our son on his first international trip. But when I think of Dublin, I first think of my first trip there in December 2016. We spent a week in the city, and it won me over for life. These are the top 10 highlights from that trip...
A Year in Review
Wow! Can you believe we are at the end of another year?!
While this was another crazy year, we did start to see some light from 2020. Travel started to open up as vaccines became more available but that also provided a ton of new hurdles with testing, vaccination records, and constant rule changes because of COVID. But as we continue to evolve with our ever-changing world, travel has too as well. And I am excited for all the adventures I had in 2021 and even more excited for what’s to come in 2022. Let’s take a trip down memory lane.
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.
