Anniversary Trip 2023: We’re Going to NYC!
The ultimate bleisure opportunity popped up, and we jumped on it - we're going to New York City! I can’t say NYC was on our shortlist, but we’re going to make the most of it! We haven’t been together in the city since we volunteered there in 2012, so it’s definitely a much different vibe.
Cruising Once Again
This time next week I will be once again sailing across the Caribbean on one of my favorite ships Carnival Horizon. You all know I am not a Carnival girly but you do know my love for the Havana Club.
Once again my family will be taking over the Havana Club on a 6 night Western Caribbean cruise, sailing to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.
A Day at WTR Tampa
At the end of May, I got a text that my friend Julie was planning a big birthday celebration for her 30th (which is actually today - happy birthday, Julie!). We knew they would have a reserved space at WTR Tampa and that tickets to enter would cost us $20 each, but we didn’t do a ton of research after that. After all, of course we’d be there to help her celebrate...
Bar Pitti Review – NYC
Traveling to NYC can be incredibly overwhelming. From the public transit to the millions of people walking the streets. But I’d argue that finding places to eat can be the most overwhelming part about visiting the big apple. Not because they’re a limited choices, but because there are so many choices!
Traveling in the First Trimester: What to Know
When Tyler and I took our 2020 anniversary trip to Savannah, Georgia, I learned all about what it meant to road trip while pregnant. Three years later - we're having baby #2! And since we're no longer faced with the same travel restrictions that were in place with our son, my travel has been a lot more involved...
Where to Eat in Helsinki, Finland
After spending some time in Stockholm, Sweden, we took the ferry over to Helsinki, Finland, for the second half of our trip (which was broken up by a quick day trip to Tallinn, Estonia). We were really happy with our hotel, which was centrally located, but the best thing we did in Helsinki was eat! We had made reservations in advance, based on research that said it could be difficult to get into restaurants, and we were happy with all the places we ate. If you’re looking for dining recommendations, look no further...
3.5 Days in (and around) Yellowstone National Park
And explore, we did! Our 3.5 days exploring Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding area gave us a chance to get off the beaten path and turn off the road when something looked interesting. We had loose plans going into the trip, which meant we had plenty of opportunities to pivot. Here’s how we spent our time there…
St. Pete Baseball Trifecta
The Tampa Bay area has been known for baseball for decades. With an MLB team, 5 minor league teams, and a training ground for amateurs and professionals alike.
But those you know the Tampa Bay Rays know that going to a baseball game is way more than just showing up for 9 innings, a hot dog, and a beer. The area has baseball staples that will give you the whole step back in time experience.
Planning Our Anniversary 2023 Trip
Friends, somehow, tomorrow is June. Where has this year gone! I’ve been fortunate to go on a few different adventures so far this year - I haven’t even shared everything we did in Finland - but we’re less than two months out from our anniversary, and we don’t know how we’re going to celebrate it this year...
That Time When… I Visited 4 New States in 3 Days
I had a bit of a wrench thrown into our travel plans. My company planned a big team trip that overlapped with our travels. My boss told me she completely understood if I needed to skip it, but after my trip with the team to Denver, Colorado, last year, I knew wanted to be there if I could make it work...
