A Long Weekend in Charlotte Itinerary

Aug 5, 2021
Megan
This past weekend I took a small trip up to Charlotte to knock a few things off my to-do list. Most importantly I visited one of my best friends from college to celebrate her baby girl due next month. I was also able to see my very best friend who lives in South Carolina and get to explore a new city with another great friend in between. So many memories were made this weekend, and my heart is so full. If you are looking to take a little or big trip to Charlotte here is our itinerary for the weekend.

15 Places to See Redwoods

Aug 2, 2021
Katie
Having now seen these redwood trees in person, I can tell you that pictures don't do them justice. They are giant and gorgeous, and you should absolutely see them in person if you can. Outside of the Muir Woods National Monument, which I highly recommend visiting, you can also find them growing naturally in other areas throughout California and southern Oregon, including these locations.

What it’s Like Cruising Post Pandemic

Jul 29, 2021
Megan
As many of you know through my recent blog posts, I was fortunate enough to be on the 4th US based sailing in the last 15 months! It’s wild to think an entire industry was put on pause for over a year because of the Coronavirus pandemic. While cases still surge and new variants emerge, we are beginning to adapt to a post (or continued) pandemic world. Last week, I sailed for 7 nights on the beautiful Celebrity Edge. While I will eventually write a review of this incredible ship, I will share what it was like sailing. What is the good, bad, and different now that we are back to cruising again.

Where in the World is Megan?

Jul 22, 2021
Megan
As you read on my post last week, I am officially back to cruising. This time I am on my first Celebrity ship and one of their newest, the Celebrity Edge. Famous for their “magic carpet” and first American female Captain, Kate McCue and her hairless cat Bug (find her on TikTok, its worth it). This has been a cruise line my family and I have been eyeing for years.

Katie
The donuts at Valkyrie Doughnuts are yeast-raised, egg-free and dairy-free. While I prefer a cake donut, these were quite delicious, and I never would have guessed that most of their flavors were vegan. Which led me to do some research - what other great vegan places have I been missing out on in St. Pete? Here are just a few of the other vegan and plant-based restaurants in the area, giving you ten awesome options to choose from.

Dunedin Brewery Tour

Jul 8, 2021
Megan
Dunedin, FL located 10 minutes north of Clearwater and about 30 minutes west of Tampa is a hidden gem that more and more people are discovering. Because of their recently growing downtown and addition of the revamped Fenway Hotel, visitors and locals are flocking to this very cool Florida town. One thing Dunedin is most famous for is its abundance of breweries. Dunedin is home to 9 popular craft breweries so there is something for every type of beer drinker. The best part about Dunedin and their brewery scene is they are all a short walk or bike ride away from one another, making it the perfect day time activity!

Spotlight: Voodoo Doughnut

Jul 5, 2021
Katie
When Tyler and I were visiting for the holiday in July 2019, I made sure we stopped for Voodoo Doughnut before we headed out to the Garden of the Gods. Are they the perfect hiking food? No. But we made it work. If you’ve never been to Voodoo Doughnut, this is definitely a stop to make on your next trip.

Katie
In September 2019, Tyler and I went with his parents on a quick trip to Puerto Rico. We were able to stay in his uncle’s condo in Rincón, which put us right on the beach. We rolled up late at night, but were excited to really kick off our time there the next day. Here's how we spent our three days on the island...
