48 Hours in Stockholm, Sweden

It’s hard to believe that, just a month ago, we were exploring Stockholm! April flew by, and here I am prepping to go to Bozeman and Seattle later this month (more to come on those). But before I get too ahead of myself, this is how we spent our ~48 hours in Stockholm.

Cost Breakout: 5-Day Anniversary Trip to Toronto, Canada

Now that we’ve returned from Scandinavia - more to come on that soon! - we’re setting our sights on planning our upcoming anniversary trip. This encouraged me to actually log our expenses from our 2022 anniversary trip to Toronto, Canada. We dug deep into our credit card statements, and I was finally able to recycle the receipts. Here’s how our costs broke down, and approximately what we’d plan to budget for our 2023 anniversary trip.

As you know, we try to support small businesses and eat local. This was easy to do when we lived in St. Pete, as it has a very local-driven culture. Now that we're solidly in the 'burbs of Wesley Chapel, we have had to work a little harder! In honor of Valentine's Day, these are five Tampa Bay restaurants I've tried in the last two months that I loved - and I know you will too! ♥️

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…
