Dreaming of Scottsdale, Arizona

As I mentioned previously, my team planned a smaller off-site in the city that just happened a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was not advisable for me to attend, since baby #2 is due any day now! Instead, I lived vicariously through my team. Their adventures have had me dreaming about all the great things in Scottsdale, like…

Spotlight: The Florida Aquarium

At $185 for a family of four, an annual membership is definitely the way to go, even if you’re not fully committed to monthly visits - if you go twice in a year, it will be worth it (especially because the membership also includes parking). That being said, if you’re not totally sold, these are some of the things I love about The Florida Aquarium...

Must-Visit: Sweetfields Farm in the Fall

Last year, I also went to Sweetfields Farm for their fall season, when they trade in their sunflower maze for a corn maze, and it reminded me what a great spot it is for a visit this time of year too. When Sara asked if I was interested in going out for some Florida fall fun, I said yes! We went over the weekend, and we got lucky with some really nice weather the morning we were there...

Highlights from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Last week, I was at the Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos for our annual company retreat. While I've been to a few off-sites with my team - Denver last December and Seattle in May - this was the first time I was told to leave my laptop at home. Unlike our off-site events, this trip to Baja California Sur was not meant to have a focus on work. Instead, since my company is totally remote, it was a chance to bring a large group of us together for team bonding and relaxing ahead of Q4. What a concept!

The Best Excursion in Cozumel

As you all know Cozumel, Mexico is one of my favorite cruise ports because of their abundance of activities. They have something for just about everyone. From shopping, to exploring Mayan Ruins, to beach clubs and snorkeling you can come back time and time again and try something new.  

Our 3.5 Day Itinerary for New York City

As I shared a few weeks ago, we ultimately landed on NYC as our 2023 anniversary trip! It wasn’t exactly on our radar for places we wanted to go, but the timing worked out perfectly with a work conference I’d be attending in the city, so we capitalized on having most of the nights in the hotel already covered. Three days and change is not a lot of time to explore, especially when we both had work to do, but I think we did a great job of finding the bleisure in our visit!

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.
