Growing up my siblings and I LOVED souvenirs. You know, all of the tacky cups, shirts, magnets, etc. I still have a keepsake box of some of my favorite souvenirs from trips I took as a kid. The box is filled with post-cards, pressed pennies, t-shirts and anything with my name on it. It was … Continue reading How To Bring Your Travels Home With You
Last week I shared highlights from our time in London in October. Today I am sharing highlights from our time in Scotland. After spending a day in London we took a train to Edinburgh for a 3 night stay. Since we had a few days in a row I was able to do a bit … Continue reading Scotland Adventures
Back in October we took a trip to London. This was my first trip out of the country and what a perfect place to start- the city that I have always imagined would be my favorite. It did not disappoint. Since I had been so sick this pregnancy I really didn't have anything specific planned … Continue reading Fall in London
Two weekends ago we took a quick weekend trip to Saugatuck, MI. It was short but the perfect chance to relax and enjoy some down time. We arrived on Friday and checked in to The Hotel Saugatuck, located right by the river. When I first looked at this hotel I absolutely loved it. I was … Continue reading A Weekend in Saugatuck, MI
Confession (unless you already know me), I plan trips in my spare time. I'm talking, trips I have no intention of taking anytime soon.

My husband jokes that he could pick a destination and I would likely already have a trip planned for … Continue reading The “Extra” Things I Do When Travel Planning
People will often ask us which vineyards we tried while we were there and the truth is, we didn't go to a single one. Once I tell people this they give me a confused look and say "Then what did you do? Isn't that why people go to Napa?". While Napa is absolutely known for being "wine country" there is so much more to be discovered and explored.
Happy Monday! After unexpectedly taking last week off (things were just a little bit crazy and I needed a break) I am back with our last San Francisco Trip post! It was such a fun trip and I have loved sharing so many photos and highlights! After our 6 mile hike in Mt. Tam we … Continue reading Point Bonita & Marin Headlands
On our last full day of our San Francisco trip we decided to spend our time on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County. When we travel I love having a day that we spend hiking, exploring and just enjoying nature and that is what we had planned for this day. … Continue reading Mt. Tamalpais
When planning our trip to San Francisco we both agreed that we wanted to take a day trip to the Napa Valley. We had such a great time when we visited 2 years ago that we were anxious to go back. With Napa only being a quick hour drive from San Francisco it made for the … Continue reading A Day in Napa
On our second day in San Francisco we had plans to explore Golden Gate Park. It is truly a huge area (like Central Park in NYC) with so much to see and do. We grabbed coffee and pastries from Butter Love Bakery and headed to the park for breakfast. Right after parking we came across … Continue reading Golden Gate Park
