I’ve only been to California twice now and each time we’ve been in San Francisco, it’s only been for a day. It’s been out pit stop before our main vacation. Maybe in the future I’ll get to stay longer instead of cramming as much as possible into a 24 hour period. There’s so much to…

Top Golf Jacksonville
When I was about 8 years old, my grandpa started trying to talk me into playing golf. He tried to persuade me up until I was almost out of high school, but love all those years was softball and played year-round. I just don’t think it’s possible to play softball and golf at the same…
Central Florida Ale Trail – Perfect Vacation for a Beer Lover
Orlando may be a dream destination to those who don’t live in Florida. But to me, everything Orlando stands for – tourism, wasting life away in long lines, spending ridiculous amounts of money at the parks – is not my scene. So how funny is it that Ben and I spent our one year wedding…
From a Career Change to Hurricane Irma to Home Remodeling – an Update
I’ve never been really good about consistently blogging. And I’ve been MIA for a couple months. Life has brought a lot of changes! Since my last post, I quit my job of 6 years, started a new job, got hit by Hurricane Irma, took a vacation to NOLA, still trying to finish my first semester…
#TBT Travel Photos: Grand Cayman Island
It feels like our Carnival Caribbean Cruise was forever ago! We went December 2013 and it was our first international vacation together. Our first stop was Grand Cayman Island and it was quite the adventure. We walked forever to pick up our rental car so we could save money instead of renting in the port…
The Baths at Virgin Gorda
During our St. Thomas vacation, we planned a day trip to The Baths on Virgin Gorda – one of the British Virgin Islands. The weather wasn’t really ideal during our trip, and it also didn’t help that I went a little ham the night before and was feeling anything but normal that day. But in…
Frenchtown Brewing Company Review
I love beer! (Seriously, how could you not?!) While I do love beer, I’m definitely not a connoisseur but I like to think I know a thing or two. One thing I do know for sure, I love trying new beers and going to breweries. While we were on vacation on St. Thomas, we had…
I Buy Memories, Not Material Items
Obviously everyone would like to travel and see the world, but I make it my mission to travel any chance I get. Some people are into having a family, spending time with their pets, discovering new recipes to cook, buying the newest and coolest electronics, collecting stamps. Ok, I have yet to meet someone who…
#TBT Travel Photo: St. John USVI
We are about to head out on another vacation! It feels like an eternity since we last had a vacation; when in reality it’s been two and half months. I’m just a person who needs a mental break; and often! We are about to head back to the US Virgin Islands to visit Ben’s family…
Travel Blogs – Booking Hotels
There are so many travel blogs out there it’s a bit overwhelming when you start researching them! Since we are always looking for great new adventures, I figured I’d start looking up other’s blogs about travel to see if any of their posts sparked interest. But I only realized one thing… the majority of these…
Best DSLR Camera for a Beginner Photographer
I took a photography class back in high school and remember loving it. I also just love taking photos and looking to Pinterest for inspiration. And now that we travel a lot and see many beautiful places, I want to start taking more professional looking photos for our albums and frames at home. I’m even…
Another Year as a $9 Fare Club Member
It happened yet again… I forgot to cancel my Spirit $9 Fare Club Membership. Damnit!! I even put a reminder alert in my calendar, but we are planning a trip to see Ben’s family in St. Thomas and I was trying to firm up those plans and determine baggage needs that I ended up forgetting…
