A disclaimer: Three days in Mexico City is not enough. But I have a feeling that a week, or a month, or a lifetime would still not be enough time to spend in the city. The capital of Mexico is beautifully chaotic and vibrant, with patches of quiet and green space filling in the gaps. …
Sharing everything I packed in my carry-on for a weekend in St. Louis, Missouri Well, Michael and I finally made it to St. Louis, Missouri, and we did so in celebration of our tenth dating anniversary at that. With just shy of thirty-six hours in the city we had no excuse but to pack lightly—which …
Ah, St. Louis, Missouri (also known as The Gateway City). It’s a place that has been on my travel list for quite some time, yet Michael and I didn’t solidify our plans to visit until less than a week before departure. In fact, we weren’t even planning to be in the Midwest that particular weekend—we …
It was surfing that brought Michael and me to Jacksonville one weekend. Not what you expected, right? Perhaps a sporting event or convention or family or something, but not surfing. Yet there we were on a recent Saturday, standing on the beach in our swimsuits and wondering what we’d gotten ourselves into. This post contains …
Ask a Floridian if they’ve visited St. Augustine before, and odds are, they’ll say yes. The subject of Florida History is studied state-wide during the fourth grade, and many Florida students cap their studies with a trip to the oldest city in the continental United States.

I just never thought our first visit would be a by-product of a different trip. This post contains affiliate …
I know, I’m from Florida, and chances are you’ve probably made me and all of my fellow citizens the punchline of a joke at some point. Yes, we’re aware of it, and quite frankly, we totally get it. We see news stories that make us cringe on a weekly basis. To be honest, neither Michael …
Every year my college holds Spring Break over the first or second week of March—and despite the fact that this is a regularly occurring thing, somehow I only just 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 …
A trip to Orlando without visiting a theme park? Yes, indeed.
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 …
