Hidden Gem: Heavenly Biscuits
This small, old school cottage can hold no more than four people inside for ordering only, but they have plenty of porch and front yard picnic seating to enjoy. Be prepared to wait in line though; this breakfast spot is popular with both tourists and locals, but I promise it's well worth the wait.
Planning Our 2020 Anniversary (Road) Trip to Savannah, Georgia
We had to go back to the drawing board and really evaluate what it is we were looking for during our anniversary trip, combined with what we thought we’d actually be able to do based on the current restrictions in place.
Flying in the Age of Coronavirus
It's been about 3 months since our world got turned upside down here in the US because of the coronavirus. Everything from the way we shop, to the way we interact with friends and family has all changed. And traveling is no different.
That Time When… We Were Almost Mugged
Last September, my husband Tyler and I went with his parents to Puerto Rico. We stayed for a few days in Rincón, which is on the west coast of the island and known for its gorgeous beaches. Overall, we had an awesome time drinking from coconuts and sampling local delicacies, like stingray empanadas and mofongo. However, in a very scary moment on the trip, we also almost got mugged.
Colorado: the Ultimate 4th of July Destination
Colorado: home to the Rocky Mountains, Mile High Stadium, and some of the most beautiful land the United States of America has to offer. But is it the most popular 4th of July destination? For us, the answer is yes!
How to Get Your Money Back for Cancelled Trips
So far this year, I have had to cancel three trips. And the way things are looking lately, I may have to cancel more of them. I am definitely not going to stop planning travel, but I also can’t afford to lose tons of money on vacations that I’m not taking. Fortunately, I have been able to get my money back (or a credit) for every piece of these cancelled trips. Here’s how:
How to Make Your Trips Last Forever
Traveling is, for sure, about living in the moment, gaining new experiences, and escaping from everyday life. But most importantly, it's about making memories and having stories to share for years to come.

In May 2017, my close friends and I took a cruise out of Tampa to Cozumel for my bachelorette, and it was everything I could have asked for. Here are the two main reasons why I would recommend a cruise to anyone:
That Time When I Went to Vegas… With My Parents
Vegas had been one of those destinations that I knew I needed to visit, but it wasn’t at the top of the bucket list. So when my dad had a 3-day convention there last April, I knew I had to take advantage of the free hotel room and the general mooching that happens when you vacation with your parents. Plus, I had just gotten a new job and found no better way to celebrate (and use up the rest of my vacation time) than a 5-day trip to Las Vegas.
St. Pete Spotlight: The Library
Formerly called The Peabody, The Library St. Pete is the second concept of Oxford Commons. It’s located in downtown St. Petersburg, inside Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, and serves as the perfect brunch-slash-photo opp if you find yourself in DTSP.

I’ve also found it’s easier to get into without a reservation come Sunday morning, though I’d always recommend making one.
