I’ll begin this post by saying this was not your typical New York City trip. There was no Statue of Liberty involved, no shuffling through Times Square, no trip to the top of the Empire State Building, and only one museum. It was my umpteenth time visiting NYC over the past few years, so Michael …
And I’m back! Michael and I usually try to visit New York City at least once a year, and quite unbelievably as of last week, we hadn’t been yet this year. Well, we remedied that over the past weekend and spent three days eating and shopping to our hearts’ content. This post contains affiliate links …
After I graduated college, my dad and my stepmom moved up to a small town near Atlanta, Georgia, not too far from a place where I lived with my mom and dad when I was a baby.
A few weeks ago, Michael and I visited my family in the Atlanta, Georgia, area. Before our visit, we looked for events happening over the weekend and discovered the Atlanta Braves would be playing the Colorado Rockies. Michael had never been to a baseball game before, and my family had not been to the new …
Over Labor Day weekend, Michael and I visited Kansas City, Missouri (you can read about what we did over the weekend here, here, and here) and had a blast! As I often do after returning from a trip, I (figuratively) open up my suitcase to share what I packed and wore each day. Attentive readers …

This is the second entry in a three-day recap of a trip to Kansas City, Missouri. Missed Day One? Find it here. DAY TWO MORNING Michael and I began our second day in Kansas City a little later than many of our travel days as Sunday mornings are pretty quiet in the city. But eventually, …
Recapping my first day in Kansas City, Missouri “Wait, it’s in Missouri?” Michael asked. “Yes,” I replied. “But it’s called Kansas City!” “Well, it’s in Kansas, too.” (This went on for several minutes before I finally caved and pulled out a map). Michael and I were searching for hotels for a Labor Day weekend trip, …
Michael and I recently spent the July 4th weekend in Boston, Massachusetts, wandering the cobblestone streets to celebrate Michael’s (belated) 30th birthday. I love the tradition of afternoon tea and he loves tiny sandwiches, so how could we not have our own Boston Tea Party while in the city? Several locations in the city serve …
Last week I shared how Michael and I spent a whirlwind 36 hours in Nashville, Tennessee, and today I thought it would be fun to share everything I packed for the journey. This post contains affiliate links and I may receive a small commission if you make a purchase (at no additional cost to you!) …
