Top Tampa Bay Area Beaches to Visit this Memorial Day

Who is ready for summer? I know I am ready for beach days, evenings in the pool, and all the sunshine. What better way to kick off the start of summer than a long holiday weekend, especially one where the weather is projected to be perfect and the beach is only a short drive away. If you are curious what beach to head to this weekend, check below for our list of top bay area beaches!

We’re Going to Ireland!

Ireland was the first international trip that Tyler and I took together. We flew to Dublin in December 2016, spending a week there before making it home just in time to celebrate the holidays - unlike subsequent years. We stayed in a tiny hotel on the “wrong” side of the river, but we had the week to explore and fall in love with the country; I swore I’d be back soon.

A Day on Rainbow River

Rainbow River is one of the many hidden wonders in Florida. It's located in Dunnellon, Florida, which is about an hour and a half away from both Tampa and Orlando. This natural Florida spring is home to crystal clear water with plenty of fish and wildlife, and it stays at a constant temperature of 73 degrees, making it the perfect summertime trip.

Where to Go to See Van Gogh

Emily in Paris has highlighted some really cool must-dos - like the immersive Van Gogh experience she attends in the first season. So when I saw that Van Gogh Alive had extended its stay at The Dalí, I knew I had to jump on it. I booked tickets several months ago for my husband and I to soak in the exhibit, and we finally went last week.

Baseball Is Back!

It had been 563 days, which included a worldwide pandemic and a World Series appearance (Rays Up!), since I had been to a baseball game. This past week, I was finally let back into the ballpark, and while things look very different than the last time I attended a game, it felt like life was slowly getting back to normal.

Salt Lake City Must-Do: Dreamscapes

We fit a lot of great times into this long weekend trip, but the best part was definitely Dreamscapes. Known as “Salt Lake City’s Immersive Art Experience,” it's a museum that features upcycled art created by local artists. Sara had discovered it in her research, and we knew we had to go. Laid out like a maze, the museum offers all sorts of funky vibes and cool experiences along the way!
