Review: A Half Day at Dinosaur World
Our son saw that T-Rex outside Dinosaur World, and it spoke to him. Our drive home was filled with requests for "more dinosaurs." We knew we'd be making the trip back very soon. So we did a little research...
Guest Post: Day Trip to Miami on the Brightline
One of the best things to happen to South Florida is the Brightline. You can go from downtown West Palm Beach to the heart of Miami in just over an hour. Even better, Brightline will be extending up to Orlando before the year is over and will eventually make its way over to Tampa. I can’t wait to take a train up to visit Mickey!
It’s Strawberry Season in Florida!
The last time I went to Parkesdale Market in Plant City, I was sorely disappointed to find that they weren’t offering their “world famous” strawberry shortcake, as it was out of season. This year, I was ready. Parkesdale Market definitely goes all out during strawberry season, but there are some other options you can capitalize on if you’re in the Tampa Bay area...
4.5 Days in Glasgow, Scotland
Three years ago, I was coming back to the US after a wonderful trip to Edinburgh and Glasgow. It was a trick getting into the city - you may recall, our train didn’t exist - but once we got there, we had the opportunity to really see the city at its holiday peak. This was the last time we spent the holidays away from home, and I think back on it fondly, especially as we start planning our trips for this year. This is how we spent four days in Glasgow…
Highlights from Downtown Denver
Happy holidays, everyone! I’m hunkered down at home with the family after a wonderful Christmas celebration, and I am just incredibly grateful for this year. Highlights include wrapping things up with a work trip to Denver, Colorado earlier this month! I spent four days there, and I had a wonderful time - despite the cold. This is what I did that made the trip so great...
Tampa Bay Christmas Bars
celebrate with friends and family to all the lights and décor, you can’t help but be in a good mood during the holiday season. One of my favorite things about the holidays is how festive people get, especially some local bars in the Tampa Bay area. If you are looking for a fun night out and even a cute photo op you must check out one of these local holiday pop up bars.
Spotlight: KRATE at The Grove
We're excited to spend some time exploring the area around us now. Wesley Chapel has historically been alllll suburbs, but I think we'll uncover some gems. For starters, KRATE. Located at The Grove, a major shopping area just off of I-75, KRATE opened in June 2022 with the main goal of providing a home for small businesses.
Our 7-Day Itinerary for Auckland, New Zealand
Hello from 30,000 feet! I am writing this blog post en route to Denver, thinking about the last time I was on a plane. While travel without a toddler is much easier, I don't think this work trip will be quite as much fun as our time in New Zealand...
Florida Holiday Must Do
If you are looking to get into the Holiday Spirit this season but can’t make the time to get up to the snowy mountains or the Christmas Magic of NYC. St. Augustine might surprise you as a great place for a Holiday getaway.
Planning for Denver, Colorado
Colorado has been featured on the blog not infrequently because Megan and I both have had great vacations there. I am headed back this month for a team offsite; I’m going to Denver (again), baby!
