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 […]

When Stephanie and I were on our Midwest road trip and visited Chicago, the number one thing everyone (and Google) recommended we do was a Chicago river architecture tour because it’s the best way to see Chicago. And they were right! If you’re going to Chicago, you definitely need to do a boat tour, and […]

When I was in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we took a trip over to Holland, and it was such a cute town to explore! It’s only about a 30 minute drive from Grand Rapids, so it’s an easy day or half day trip. If you’re looking for things to do, these are some of the top […]

I visited Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan in October, and I thought it was the perfect time to visit! The leaves were starting to turn bright red and orange, and the greenhouse was decorated with fun fall and pumpkin décor. If you want to visit Meijer Gardens in the autumn to see all the […]

Taking a trip to see fall colors is becoming one of my favorite things to do, and lucky for me, Philly has some places nearby to see the pretty colors! (If you’re not able to leave Philly this fall, I highly recommend seeing Boathouse Row at peak fall colors). Matt and I have done trips […]

Want to know the best time to see Philadelphia’s famous Boathouse Row? At sunrise in the fall a few days before Daylight Savings Time. It’s a very specific time and date and very early in the morning, but it’s worth it! And I am going to show you why 🙂 The best place to see […]

With Thanksgiving coming up, I thought I would do a bit of a different post featuring a photography series that one of my college roommates and best friends, Morgan, has started on Instagram. I’ve mentioned before that I take photographs from more of a photojournalist perspective (I’ve never been great at fine art and my dream job […]

As you may know, I moved from North Carolina to Philadelphia about a year ago (you can read about everything I learned about living in Philadelphia so far here). While it has been an adjustment living in a new state, one thing I absolutely love about living in Pennsylvania is autumn. The area in N.C. […]

One of my favorite things about Philadelphia is the old buildings and quirky history (I’m such a history nerd!). If you haven’t been to Philadelphia, I’m sure you know Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell are here, but there are a ton of other beautiful historic buildings in Philadelphia, too. One of my favorite historical […]

In last week’s post about Intercourse, PA (yep, there really is a town called Intercourse), I talked about how Matt and I took a day trip out to Amish country because we’ve been wanting to go ever since I moved to Philadelphia. I absolutely loved going there, and I want to go back when everything […]

Yep, you read that title correctly. There really is a town in Pennsylvania called Intercourse, and it’s actually in Amish country. I’ve been wanting to visit the Lancaster area since I moved to Philadelphia a year ago because I love traveling around the area, and Matt and I had a free weekend last week so we […]
