Highlights from Whistler, British Columbia

It has been *a time* down here in Tampa Bay! It’s hard to believe that not one, but two hurricanes have interrupted our lives (and our power) since I was in Whistler for a work conference. It was a quick trip, especially for two full days' worth of travel, but I still made the most of it! Here are the highlights...

Spotlight: Swiss Museum of Transport

One of my coworkers had just returned from Switzerland when we were preparing to leave last month. She told me that we absolutely could not miss the Swiss Museum of Transport, that it had been a highlight of their trip. As a mom of a vehicle-loving kiddo, I was immediately onboard.

5 Days in Lindau, Germany

We got back home late on Wednesday, and many loads of laundry later, I think we’re back to our usual routines - aside from the holiday weekend, anyway! As I catch up with folks, I continue to tell them how delightful Lindau was, a true surprise and delight for our family. There were a few places we’d considered visiting when we booked our tickets to Zurich earlier this year. We strongly considered Italy, but something about this lakeside town spoke to us. Lindau was the perfect spot to spend some of our summer vacation. Here’s how we spent our five days there...

Day Trip to Bregenz, Austria

Hello from Zurich! We have been having the loveliest time in both Germany and Switzerland, but one of the highlights of this vacation has definitely been the day trip we made to Bregenz, Austria. We had planned to do this all along, since Bregenz is very close to Lindau, Germany, where we stayed. It gave us the chance to cross another country off our visit list, so we figured, why not?

June 2024 Highlights from Tampa Bay

Y’all, June was a whirlwind! My apologies for my disappearance here over the past few weeks - I am very glad to be feeling a little more sorted after a hectic month. Our kiddo just started at preschool at the beginning of the summer, so when we weren’t dealing with all that’s associated with that (read: new germs), here are some of the cool places we managed to visit...

Best Tour in the Caribbean  

I may be a bit biased but I promise if you do this tour you will agree with me. On my most recent cruise, we made a stop to the beautiful island of St. Lucia. It was my fist time ever visiting the island and this tour made me fall in love and St. Lucia quickly became my new happy place.

Spotlight: Bonnet Springs Park

When we saw the park welcome sign, we knew immediately why this place is so popular. It’s huge! Per their website, the park is 168 acres, as seen on their map below, and it has a ton of activities. After entering the park, we still needed to drive for about five minutes to get close to the playground. That parking lot fills up early, so if you need to park elsewhere, not to worry - there is a tram. That’s right, the park is so big it needs a tram.

Highlights from San Diego, California

I am back at home after a fantastic week in San Diego! This was my first time visiting, and I can see why it’s so popular - it is absolutely gorgeous. While I did spend most of my time there working, I still got to see a bit of all the city has to offer. Here were the highlights...
