June 2024 Highlights from Tampa Bay

Jul 5, 2024
Katie
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  

Jun 21, 2024

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

Jun 10, 2024
Katie
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.

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...

Fortunately for all of us, her new novel, Funny Story, comes out tomorrow. Not only do I expect this book to spotlight northern Michigan, but I am super excited to celebrate this evening at Book + Bottle’s midnight release party in St. Pete. If you didn’t get tickets, not to fret - there are tons of options available for this book release celebration, with most of the events taking place tomorrow...

The Best of Tokyo, Japan

Apr 8, 2024
Katie
We started and ended our trip to Japan with stays in Tokyo! We were able to spend time in both Odaiba and Ueno, getting a feel for each area of the city - they were both very different. It’s hard to believe that we’ve already been back for over a month, but I’m still thinking about these highlights.

The Best of Kyoto, Japan

Katie
After spending three days in Urayasu, we hopped on the shinkansen bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto. There, we met up with my mother-in-law and spent five rainy days in Kyoto. These are the highlights of our time there, activities and locations I would highly recommend...

Guest Post: Dos and Don’ts of Disney Springs

Mar 12, 2024
Maggie Duguid
Traveling anywhere can be a bit overwhelming, especially when going to places like Disney. Since the parks now have a reservation system, you are less likely to encounter too much chaos whilst inside, but Disney Springs is still very popular and you do not need a ticket or reservation to enter. Meaning - it can get very crowded, very fast. So my very first DO is to arrive early in the day. DON’T arrive several hours early - there is no rope drop ceremony and everything opens at the same time.

Spotlight: teamLab in Tokyo, Japan

Mar 11, 2024
Katie
When we were researching what to do in Tokyo, one thing came recommended over and over again: the teamLab Planets exhibit. It was so much fun, we actually decided we should book tickets for the other teamLab exhibit in Tokyo, which just opened in February 2024: Borderless, a new permanent exhibit.
