Recap: Great Wolf Lodge in Naples, Florida

Aug 26, 2025
Katie
We don’t usually travel in the summer - last year’s trip to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland aside - because 1) it’s expensive, and 2) it’s hot! That being said, at the beginning of August, we found ourselves at Great Wolf Lodge in Naples. My mom had actually floated the idea out because she was off from school at the same time my son and daughter were wrapping up their summer vacation, so we packed up the car, the kids, and way too many snacks for a three-day adventure to Florida’s first-ever GWL.

We enjoyed soaking in the sun, the sand, and more glasses of wine than I can count. Here are the highlights...

Since we only had three days in the city, we had to make the most of it without fitting in too much - after all, a vacation away from the kids should be relaxing! I think this trip was a nice mix, and there were plenty of highlights. These are a few of my bests...

Planning Our Last-Minute Getaway to Paris, France

Jan 19, 2025
Katie
As I’ve always said, go where the cheap flights take you! So when $333 flights to Paris, France, popped up on Google Flights, it was an (almost) immediate yes. That’s exactly how Tyler and I found ourselves planning a last-minute trip - we’re going at the end of the month! We were able to quickly coordinate dog and childcare, so now we’re gearing up for a few days of just the two of us in the City of Light.

Katie
As we count down these final moments of 2024, it’s time to look back at the incredible journeys of the past year. For me, those journeys included going back to work after maternity leave, as well as moving back to the heart of Tampa (I’m now just ten minutes from the airport!). There were several great trips this year as well, though honestly, I felt like the year flew by! I am confident there will be plenty of adventures ahead, but for now, let’s kick off the countdown to 2025 with my 2024 travel recap. Who doesn’t love a little wanderlust to ring in the new year? ✨
