Spotlight: Bonnet Springs Park

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.

We’re Going to Australia!

I am very far from the days when I was asking myself “what’s my next trip,” and I couldn’t be more excited. Not only are we going to Switzerland, Germany, and Ireland later this year, but we’re also booking into 2025 with a big one: Brisbane, Australia.

Highlights from San Diego, California

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...

Norwegian Viva Review

Norwegian Viva is the newest ship to the NCL family. Released in 2023 this is a reimagined take on cruising within their Prima Class ships. As someone who is a huge fan of the Edge Class Ships on Celebrity Cruise line, Viva’s modern design really resembled the sleekness of Celebrity. The modern design, mixed with fun add ons such as Go Karts and Mini Golf is a great new take on a new era of cruising

The Best of Tokyo, Japan

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.

We’re Going to Switzerland!

I had been exploring options on Google Flights for possible anniversary trips. Last year, we went to NYC, and I was scoping out some other northern US cities for us; both Chicago, IL, and Boston, MA, were looking appealing with flights in the mid-$200s for this summer. I scrolled over to see what our European options were - you know, just for fun - and I was surprised to find direct flights to Zurich starting in the high-$400s. Um, hello!
