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 …
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 …
Just glance at your social media feed on the weekend while you’re trying to save money and you’re sure to see numerous posts from friends doing some (or all!) of the following: enjoying fancy meals out, attending loud and crazy concerts, going to the movies, or hanging at the bars until closing time. Meanwhile, you’re …
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.

About a year before we visited Nashville, we visited Memphis, Tennessee (I imagine most people visit those two cities in the opposite order).

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, …
As part of the application process for the US Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry Program, Michael and I recently had to attend an in-person interview at one of their Enrollment Centers. None of the airports near us had weekend hours, and the thought of sacrificing a hard-earned vacation day to visit during the week …
Back in March, Michael and I began looking for a cheap flight over my birthday weekend, just like we usually do when a special occasion approaches. Likewise, we didn’t have any particular place in mind, really, we just wanted to take off and go somewhere else. This post contains affiliate links and I may receive …
