Highlights from the Jersey Shore

My summer travel plans have officially gained another trip: Asbury Park, New Jersey. Over the holiday weekend, we got an invite to Tyler’s cousin’s wedding in September, which will take place on the Jersey Shore. It’s been a minute since we saw his family, but a few things stand out from our 2019 trip to visit them - for starters, it was a very cold January! Otherwise…

Our 4-Day Itinerary for Barcelona, Spain

Fun fact about Barcelona: Spanish isn’t the primary language spoken there. It’s actually the capital of the region of Spain known as Catalonia, where the language is Catalan. Fortunately for us, most people spoke both Spanish and Catalan (as well as quite a bit of English), but we definitely felt the language barrier more here than in Madrid. Here’s what else we learned and did in our four days in Barcelona...

5-Day Summer Itinerary in Maine

I recently returned from a far too short trip to Maine. I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone on this trip. I traded in beach front relaxation for beautiful coastal hikes and plenty of fresh Maine Lobster. Check out my 5-day low key itinerary to Bar Harbor, Maine.

Highlights from New York City

I used to have an annual conference in NYC, and that didn’t include the multiple times a year I was going to visit clients. I figured out early on how to turn these trips into “bleisure” ones, and I had various explorations with coworkers and friends as we discovered all the city had to offer. These are some of the highlights...

A Miami Hidden Gem

Located in the beautiful neighborhood of Coral Gables found just south of downtown Miami is a unique public pool that is unlike anywhere you’d find in the country. The Venetian Pool is very reminiscent of old world Europe and is enjoyed by hundreds of thousand each and every year.

Family Vacation: Our 9-Day Ireland Itinerary

We booked the flight tickets to Ireland last year, and despite putting together (refundable) plans, I wasn’t entirely sure we’d get to go. Despite running into some hiccups with our original hotel reservation, we made it happen. We packed up our things, grabbed the passports, and headed out. After some flight delays and a mad dash to the second leg of our flight, we made it to DUB early in the morning, ready to take on the day...
