A Weekend for the Girls: Fort Myers Beach Edition
Thanks to COVID and my need to always have a trip to look forward to, a few of my girlfriends and I decided to rent a house off Fort Myers Beach for a much-needed escape and some fun in the sun.
Is Blue Lagoon Worth It?
Blue Lagoon “was named one of 25 wonders of the world by National Geographic,” so we figured it was worth a visit. Considering I have now been there twice, I can confirm that yes, it was worth it - for me. However, I think there are several factors to consider before pre-booking your reservation.
Hidden Gem: Heavenly Biscuits
This small, old school cottage can hold no more than four people inside for ordering only, but they have plenty of porch and front yard picnic seating to enjoy. Be prepared to wait in line though; this breakfast spot is popular with both tourists and locals, but I promise it's well worth the wait.
Planning Our 2020 Anniversary (Road) Trip to Savannah, Georgia
We had to go back to the drawing board and really evaluate what it is we were looking for during our anniversary trip, combined with what we thought we’d actually be able to do based on the current restrictions in place.
Colorado: the Ultimate 4th of July Destination
Colorado: home to the Rocky Mountains, Mile High Stadium, and some of the most beautiful land the United States of America has to offer. But is it the most popular 4th of July destination? For us, the answer is yes!
Why a Cruise is the Perfect Bachelorette Party
In May 2017, my close friends and I took a cruise out of Tampa to Cozumel for my bachelorette, and it was everything I could have asked for. Here are the two main reasons why I would recommend a cruise to anyone:
That Time When I Went to Vegas… With My Parents
Vegas had been one of those destinations that I knew I needed to visit, but it wasn’t at the top of the bucket list. So when my dad had a 3-day convention there last April, I knew I had to take advantage of the free hotel room and the general mooching that happens when you vacation with your parents. Plus, I had just gotten a new job and found no better way to celebrate (and use up the rest of my vacation time) than a 5-day trip to Las Vegas.
St. Pete Spotlight: The Library
Formerly called The Peabody, The Library St. Pete is the second concept of Oxford Commons. It’s located in downtown St. Petersburg, inside Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, and serves as the perfect brunch-slash-photo opp if you find yourself in DTSP. The restaurant is not as big as OE, but it’s just as ‘grammable, filled with blue books and cozy armchairs to settle into. I’ve also found it’s easier to get into without a reservation come Sunday morning, though I’d always recommend making one.
Port of Call: Cozumel, Mexico
As an avid cruiser, I have been to Cozumel a handful of times. It is one of my top ports to continually come back to because of the wide range of options the island provides. From exploring the island as a family to partying with friends, there is something for every type of cruiser.
Around the Disney World in 1 Day
Unfortunately, my travel plans have taken on new priorities, and my Disney trips are few and far between. Most trips now are just one day, where I have to pack in everything; otherwise, I’ll have FOMO.
