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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Looking for a fun summer vacation spot? I can’t recommend Lake Champlain enough! We visited at the end of the summer, and the weather was perfect. It wasn’t too hot, but it was still warm enough to enjoy hanging out in the water. If you’re looking for things to do in Lake Champlain in the […]

Plattsburgh is right on Lake Champlain, making it a great spot for a vacation! There’s a quaint downtown with lots of restaurants and shops, and there are parks on the lake for beautiful views away from crowds.

Naples Botanical Garden is a must-visit if you’re in the area! I love visiting parks and gardens when I travel, and Naples’ garden was one of the most expansive I’ve visited. My family lives in Fort Myers, FL, and I see a new place every time I visit them. Naples Botanical Garden was the latest […]

Matt and I spent our honeymoon in Germany and Austria and visited some AMAZING places! We stayed around Wilder Kaiser in Austria because we wanted to be in a quiet area in the mountains, but all of the day trips we took around the area were close to Munich (and don’t worry, we spent time […]
