That Time When… I Thought We Would Die at Hamburger DOM
Now, we’re generally pretty skeptical of fair rides since Tyler is an engineer and can tell you all the potential issues with the ride, but we didn’t want to miss out on them entirely. Early on in our DOM visit, we rode the Wilde Maus XXL, which was part-funhouse, part-roller coaster, and we enjoyed it. However, with fuller bellies, we then rode the DOM Dancer… a costly mistake.
Fall Fun at Windy Hill Orchard & Cider Mill
Located an hour outside of Charlotte, this is a great day trip for all ages. Open every fall from mid-August until Christmas, visitors have the opportunity to pick their own apples, try the award-winning hard ciders, and, of course, order multiple dozens of apple cinnamon donuts.
Girls’ Trip: Our 6-Day Ireland Itinerary
In October 2019, I met up with my friends Sara and Liz for an epic girls’ trip that would take us all over Ireland in just under a week. While there were some things we planned in advance, like our trip to the Cliffs of Moher, we planned a lot of our activities the night before, so we could determine the next day based on how we were feeling. We crammed A LOT of traveling around the country into less than a week, but it gave us a great view of different parts of the country. I know that I can’t wait to go back!
The 10 Travel Apps You Need to Download
I find myself questioning how we use to live in a world without smart phones. On top of that, how did we travel before smart phones?! There are so many great resources out there (most of which are free) to make traveling easier. Here are my 10 favorite apps you need for your next adventure!
How to Use Google Flights’ Explore Tool
The way everyone uses Google Flights is not the way I make the most of it. I have talked about the $375 roundtrip tickets that Tyler and I booked to Copenhagen, a place we had not previously considered going and where we had one of the best dining experiences ever, but we didn’t just randomly search “Copenhagen” with some dates and hope for the best; we used the Google Flights' Explore tool.
Visiting Our Nation’s Capital: Washington, DC
DC is a great place to visit for a long weekend and even a great family friendly trip. One of my favorite parts about DC is how much there is to do for FREE! From museums to National Monuments there is plenty to see and do on a budget.
36 Hours in San Francisco, California
Last August, I headed out west for an important work meeting, which gave me approximately 36 hours in San Francisco, California. I never miss an opportunity to squeeze some “vacation” out of work travel - also known as a “bleisure” trip - so I, along with two of my lovely coworkers, made the most of our day and a half in the city. If you’re short on time in San Fran, these are your must-dos and must-eats!
COVID Travel Update: Where Can Americans Travel Internationally?
It’s been about 5 months since we have been living in this new state of “normal” here in the US. If you are anything like us here at B!tches Be Tripping, you are dreaming of the next time you get to travel internationally. While we have all tried to make the best of this summer, in terms of traveling, we have discovered the simplicity of a stay-cation, taken a road trip when we are clearly air travelers, and most importantly stayed optimistic in planning future trips.
Spotlight: Grady Goat Yoga
There are many wonderful day trips from Tampa, but I have to say the GOAT is a trip to Grady Goat Farm for some Grady Goat Yoga. ;) Located about 25 minutes from downtown Tampa, this is a must-do activity for anyone who even remotely likes yoga or baby animals.
Top 10 Must-Dos in Edinburgh
Scotland had always been one of my top bucket list destinations because my dad actually spent a few years of his childhood in Scotland while my grandfather worked on submarines for the US Navy. Hearing all the stories about fish and chip at the dock and the beautiful landscape of the highlands, I knew this had to be a place I someday explored. If Edinburgh is a city on your bucket list, here are my top 10 must-dos.
