North America

I recently went on a summer road trip around Iowa and had so much fun! Honestly, I picked Iowa because it was one of the last states that I hadn’t visited yet, and I’m trying to visit all 50. So it was a bit of a random pick for a road trip, but I didn’t […]

Nova Scotia was the last place we went on our eastern Canada road trip, and Halifax was a little out of our way but it was definitely worth the visit! We were there for two days, and while we spent most of the time in Halifax itself, we also checked out some smaller towns outside […]

During a road trip through Canada, we visited Prince Edward Island specifically because I loved reading the Anne of Green Gables books! It’s a beautiful island that is worth exploring even if you’re not an Anne fan, but if you are, these are the top Anne of Green Gables locations you need to check out […]

Prince Edward Island had been a bucket list destination of mine for a while (definitely because of Anne of Green Gables), and it certainly lived up to my expectations! It’s such a beautiful island with so many scenic areas, and I would have loved to have spent a whole week there taking it all in. […]

The whole inspiration behind my Iowa road trip was to visit Laura Ingalls Wilder’s homes in the area! We visited Burr Oak in Iowa, Walnut Grove in Minnesota, and DeSmet in South Dakota. Since the Ingalls family moved around pretty often, some of the sites were more significant than others, so if you’re looking for […]

During my Iowa road trip with my mom and sister, we visited Decorah. We planned on going to Decorah to visit the Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum, and our trip happened to coincide with Nordic Fest! It was our first time at Nordic Fest, and we had a great time. If you’re planning on attending, here are […]

I did a summer road trip around Iowa, and our first stop was Cedar Rapids! We had a day to explore and got to see some historic sights and eat some delicious food. If you’re looking for things to do in Cedar Rapids, here are some fun places to go in one day! 6 Things […]

While we were in the Black Hills during our Midwest road trip, we spent one day in Badlands National Park! The views were incredible and we saw a TON of wildlife, which was awesome. If you’re planning a trip to the Badlands, here are all the amazing sights you can see! Planning a day in […]

When I planned my Midwest road trip, visiting Mount Rushmore was the ultimate goal! And we saw some pretty incredible sights along the way 🙂 I didn’t know much about the area around Mount Rushmore before planning our trip (wanting to see Mount Rushmore was mostly inspired by “North By Northwest”), but I honestly enjoyed […]

When we were planning our Midwest road trip, I wanted to visit North Dakota but didn’t know where to go. I love national parks so I chose Theodore Roosevelt National Park without knowing anything about it, and I’m so glad we visited! It’s not as famous as parks like Yellowstone or Yosemite, but the landscapes […]

Minneapolis was our one stop in Minnesota on our Midwest road trip (don’t worry, I’ll be back to Minnesota to see more sights!), and we covered a lot of ground! We were there for one day and we saw most of the city, so I don’t think you need more than a few days in […]
