Charleston is one of my favorite cities in the U.S.! There’s so much to do, and it’s so beautiful and colorful 🙂 I’ve been a few times now, and I visited again recently for a girl’s weekend (Charleston is a great spot for a girl’s weekend!) so I put together an itinerary for my favorite […]

Did you know that Thomas Edison and Henry Ford spent their winters in Fort Myers, FL? I didn’t before my parents moved there a year ago, and since then, I’ve taken a tour of the Edison & Ford Winter Estates three times already! It’s fascinating to see the historical houses and labs, and the gardens […]

If you’re just tuning into my adventures in the Deep South, Biloxi, Mississippi was my last stop! I had never heard of Biloxi before researching places to visit on the coast of Mississippi, and I’m so happy we decided to check it out. It has beautiful beaches and a really interesting history! 🙂 One day […]

During my New Orleans trip, I took a day trip to Alabama and Mississippi on my quest to visit all 50 states before I turn 30! The day started in Alabama at Bellingrath Gardens, one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever visited 🙂 If you’re visiting Alabama, you definitely need to visit the gardens. […]

New Orleans is probably best known for its French Quarter (after Mardi Gras, of course), so we couldn’t go to New Orleans without visiting that area! My mom and I actually went every day we were in New Orleans (we couldn’t get enough of the beignets!), and we did take a New Orleans French Quarter […]

The history in Philadelphia is one of my favorite things about living in the city. If you don’t live in the city, you may know Old City Philadelphia as the place where the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall are (plus tons of other places like Elfreth’s Alley, the Betsy Ross House, Christ Church, and more), […]

You can view all posts from my trip to Italy here.  When my friends and I were planning our trip to Italy, we knew we wanted to hit the major cities like Venice and Florence, and we also wanted to visit a smaller town to get a more authentic Italian experience. Morgan wanted to see […]

I have been putting lots of miles on my car with trips all over the East Coast this summer, and like I mentioned in last week’s post, I recently went to Newport, Rhode Island for a tennis tournament at the International Tennis Hall of Fame (I told you my family loves tennis). I got to […]

You can view all posts from my trip to Italy here.  I have finally made it through all my photos from Venice! If you missed last week’s post, I had the first part of my tour of Venice, and while all the views are pretty incredible (how many other cities sit on canals?), I honestly […]

I love living in a city and there are a surprising number of parks in Philadelphia (which is definitely one of my favorite things about living in Philadelphia), but sometimes it’s nice to escape the city and get some fresh air. Valley Forge is surprisingly close to Philadelphia (only about a 20 minute drive), and […]

You can view the first post from my visit to Eastern State Penitentiary here Like I said in last week’s post about Eastern State Penitentiary, it’s one of the creepiest places in Philadelphia but also an excellent place to take photos. The variety in texture and color can’t be beat! I went over some of the […]
