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 …
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 …
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 …
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!
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 …
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 …
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 final installment in a three-part series recapping our trip to Kansas City. Missed the others? Start here. Our final day in Kansas City was a short one, and the fact that I’d come down with a cold put a further damper on the day (plus the end of a trip is always …
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, …
