Review: A Half Day at Dinosaur World
Our son saw that T-Rex outside Dinosaur World, and it spoke to him. Our drive home was filled with requests for "more dinosaurs." We knew we'd be making the trip back very soon. So we did a little research...
Planning for Sweden, Estonia, and Finland
I can hardly believe that we are leaving for Scandinavia this month! When we went to New Zealand in November, we had the luxury of being there for close to two weeks, so we were able to space out a lot of our activities. That is definitely not the case for this trip. Similar to when I went on a girls’ trip with my mom and sister, we will have six days to cover three countries. That’s right, three countries! Because of that, we’ve had to be very strategic in our planning. Here’s what’s on the books...
Guest Post: Day Trip to Miami on the Brightline
One of the best things to happen to South Florida is the Brightline. You can go from downtown West Palm Beach to the heart of Miami in just over an hour. Even better, Brightline will be extending up to Orlando before the year is over and will eventually make its way over to Tampa. I can’t wait to take a train up to visit Mickey!
The Tampa Edition
One of the newest hotels making its way to one of the hottest locations in the country, The Tampa Edition feels a bit like high scale New York mixed with a Miami Vibe.
It’s Strawberry Season in Florida!
The last time I went to Parkesdale Market in Plant City, I was sorely disappointed to find that they weren’t offering their “world famous” strawberry shortcake, as it was out of season. This year, I was ready. Parkesdale Market definitely goes all out during strawberry season, but there are some other options you can capitalize on if you’re in the Tampa Bay area...
How to Spend 24 Hours in Laguna Beach
For any teenager in the 2000s Laguna Beach is a symbol of pop culture. As popular as the MTV show was, the beaches and town itself is just as noteworthy and worth a visit.
Spotlight: Good Fortune St. Pete
Ultimately, we landed on Good Fortune St. Pete. Now, neither Tyler nor I had ever gone, but we have had good experiences at other restaurants in the Hunger Thirst Group portfolio, like The Avenue and No Vacancy. We figured it was worth trying!
5 Restaurants to Love in Tampa Bay
As you know, we try to support small businesses and eat local. This was easy to do when we lived in St. Pete, as it has a very local-driven culture. Now that we're solidly in the 'burbs of Wesley Chapel, we have had to work a little harder! In honor of Valentine's Day, these are five Tampa Bay restaurants I've tried in the last two months that I loved - and I know you will too! ♥️
Hidden Gems: Temecula
You probably have never heard of Temecula, CA before, but let me tell you it needs to be on your bucket list. Especially if you love wine!
Why I’m Headed to Bozeman, Montana
Y’all know that I like to take my vacations abroad. We went to five different countries last year (as I detailed out here), and we’ve got a trip to Sweden and Finland coming up in just a few weeks. And yet, last week, I booked two tickets to Bozeman, Montana, in May. Why is that? One word: Sara.
