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.

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.
