New York City at Christmas

I may be biased, but I think I had the best first trip to New York City, hands down. During my senior year of college, my two best friends and I took a 4-day trip to the Big Apple right after finals week and a few weeks before Christmas. Five years later, I have been back to NYC a handful of times, but nothing beats the city at Christmas time while enjoying a whole bunch of firsts with your college besties.

Winter Must-Do: Visit Ice Castles

When Liz coordinated our visit to Copper Mountain for snow tubing, she also suggested we look at Ice Castles. The award-winning ice attraction has four locations in North America, one of which is in Dillon, Colorado; the other Ice Castles can be found in Lincoln, New Hampshire; Midway, Utah, at the Homestead Resort; and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, at the Geneva National Resort & Club. A quick look at the images tagged with #IceCastles was enough to sell me on a visit.

Stay Gold at Copper Mountain

Saturday morning, we took off for Copper Mountain. About an hour and a half away from Boulder, Copper Mountain is a great spot for both winter sports enthusiasts and people who just like to play in the snow. They have tons of activities, like the Rocky Mountain Coaster and free snowshoe tours, as well as plenty of shopping and dining. Another key activity at Copper Mountain? Tubing.

A Day at Point Reyes National Seashore

Located an hour north of San Francisco in Marin County is a vast area of protected Northern California coastline called Point Reyes National Seashore. From hiking and kayaking to taking in breathtaking views, there is plenty to do! This place is definitely worth a visit on your next trip to San Francisco or the Northern California coast.

Where to Eat in Savannah, Georgia

When Tyler and I were planning our 2020 anniversary trip earlier this year, we ultimately landed on visiting Savannah, Georgia. However, since we took this road trip while I was pregnant and while we were traveling with dogs and while the world was in the middle of a global pandemic, we were a little more limited in our usual vacation activities. Fortunately, all of that couldn’t stop us from eating well (and often).

Ready to Set Sail?

Over the past eight months, the coronavirus has altered every aspect of our lives. From how we go to the grocery store to interacting with friends, family, and strangers. Travel has been hit especially hard, and the cruise lines may be the ones taking the hardest hit.

Your Must-Dos and Must-Eats in Asheville, North Carolina

While Tyler and I have been considering some potential babymoon plans, Asheville, North Carolina, has come up more than a few times. I have been fortunate enough to visit Asheville on several occasions over the last few years, with my most recent visit being in January of this year. It served as the perfect reminder of all the things I love about the city. Since my first visit to to Asheville in 2015 to now, whether it's been a visit with Ty or a girls' trip, these are my absolute must-dos and must-eats for Asheville, NC.

Why Ellijay, Georgia, Needs to be on Your Fall Bucket List

2020 has been the year of the Girl’s Trip and my recent trip to Georgia was no different. Myself and 5 of my girlfriends took a road trip up to the Georgia Mountains for a long weekend of fall activities and sweater weather. We stayed in a small mountain town called Ellijay, located a little over an hour outside of Atlanta and 30 minutes from the famous downtown Blue Ridge. There was so much to do within these small mountain towns and for sure must for any fall bucket list.
