It’s my Spring Break this week – and about two weeks ago I realized Michael and I didn’t have anything planned. I’m fortunate to get a full week off of work due to my industry; however, Michael doesn’t have another holiday on his work calendar until May. Since he needs to save up time off …

An Orlando Day Trip Without a Theme Park in Sight
A trip to Orlando without visiting a theme park? Yes, indeed.
Traveling Light: A Winter Packing List for Washington, D.C.
Opening up my suitcase and sharing my packing list for a winter weekend in D.C. The last time I visited Washington, D.C., the weather was in the nineties and I nearly sweated through my tanks, dresses, and shorts. For a mid-January trip, the highs were barely above freezing, meaning there would be no easy packing …
Travel Diary: Winter Weekend Getaway to Washington, D.C.
I may have been a little dramatic in my Instagram Stories while waiting to board my very delayed flight to Washington, D.C., but to be fair, by the time I boarded, we were already supposed to have landed. Normally losing a couple of hours of vacation time is merely a nuisance, but not highly impactful …
Countdown to Fun: Ten Tips for a Kennedy Space Center Day Trip
Keeping with our New Year’s Resolution to travel more within our home state, Michael and I recently made the trek down to Cape Canaveral, Florida, to visit the Kennedy Space Center. I’d dreamed of attending Space Camp as a young girl but missed out on the opportunity (though I guess not for good, since I …
Travel Guide for Four Days in Memphis, Tennessee
About a year before we visited Nashville, we visited Memphis, Tennessee (I imagine most people visit those two cities in the opposite order). This was back in July 2016, nearly nine months before we started this blog. I plan on sharing some of our past trips in this space this year; I hope you don’t mind!
Traveling Light: A Winter Packing List for Providence, Rhode Island
Normally packing for a three-day weekend is a breeze, but when you’re from Florida and the temperature at your destination is barely expected to rise above freezing, it can be a challenge. Neither Michael nor I have a well-established winter wardrobe (you don’t really need one where we live!), and I still feel like we’re …
Three-Day Winter Travel Guide to Providence, Rhode Island
Last weekend Michael and I celebrated Christmas early by flying north for three days to Providence, Rhode Island. It felt like fate—the airfare was in our price range, the flight times worked with our schedule, hotel prices were reasonable, and there was a little snow in the forecast (despite my family’s insistence that you always …
Christmas in New York
Christmastime in New York City is wonderful. Christmastime in New York City is also busy, crowded, and expensive. So this time last December, Michael and I sleepily boarded a 6:00 a.m. flight out of Florida with our return flight booked for 8:00 p.m. the following evening. December is peak travel season, so we spent $150 …
A Day Trip to Cedar Key, Florida
Let’s visit Cedar Key for the day, and explore the island’s history and culture (and cuisine!).
