    Visiting the Grand Canyon with a Baby

    January 18, 2024

    Are you looking for tips on traveling to the Grand Canyon National Park with your baby? I am excited to share my tips regarding weather, strollers and carriers, do-able trails and viewpoints, family-friendly lodging, National Park dining with a baby. The Grand Canyon is absolutely stunning, and it is a bucket list item for many people. Our baby girl recently got to cross it off of her list (although I don’t think she realizes it yet!), after our family enjoyed 24 hours there in December. Although our time there was brief, we loved exploring the South Rim of the Grand Canyon during the winter, and it was the perfect time…

    Self-Guided Walking Tour of Beaufort, SC

    July 19, 2022

    Are you looking at spending a day in the beautiful city of Beaufort, SC? I’m sharing a detailed self-guided walking tour guide, so you can explore this South Carolina city’s most beautiful spots on foot. Our family spent two amazing weeks on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, and we loved taking day trips to nearby beautiful Southern cities that were full of charm and history. Beaufort was one of our favorite day trips from Hilton Head Island, and since it was just 35 miles away and less than an hour drive, it was also one of the easiest day trips. While researching the city, I knew that I wanted…

    Things to do on the North Shore, Oahu

    October 21, 2019

    Aloha! Are you heading to Oahu soon? You’ll definitely want to schedule in time on the beautiful North Shore. While it is known for its big waves (perfect for surfers), there are several other incredible things to do on the North Shore of Oahu. Our family of 3 recently spent time on the North Shore as part of our trip to the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu, and we loved every minute. Although we stayed on the East Shore for most of our trip, Oahu is very drive-able, so it was easy to drive to the North Shore when we wanted. Our highlights included exploring Waimea Valley and snorkeling at…

    Things to do on the East Shore, Oahu

    October 8, 2019

    Aloha! After spending one week on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu, our family can safely say that the East Shore (Windward) is our favorite part of the island! The region is packed with things to do and see, including beautiful beaches (that are especially family-friendly), fun activities, and stunning landscapes, making it the perfect place to settle if you would like to explore beyond Honolulu/Waikiki. We stayed in the beautiful town of Kailua, which was a great destination for exploring the East Shore. In order to get the most out of your stay on Oahu, I highly recommend renting a car. When we compared driving in Hawaii to other…

    I’m sharing a one week (7 day) itinerary of Kauai that includes the best beaches, hikes, and activities! Of all the trips my husband and I have ever taken, our one week trip to the Hawaiian island of Kauai has been the most relaxing. We loved every minute of our trip and truly did not want to leave. It is an outdoor lover’s  and adventure seeker’s paradise! I’ll start with highly recommending that you get a rental car, if at all possible. While there are several great options for guided bus tours on the island, Kauai is a small island that is easy to drive around. You will experience so…

    36 Hours in Dublin

    November 9, 2018

    Are you considering a trip to Ireland? If so, I am so happy for you! My husband and I spent several days in Ireland as part of a two week trip to Ireland and England, and I absolutely fell in love with it. It was everything I dreamed of- and more! If you are planning to visit Ireland, you are probably planning on spending some time in Dublin. We personally wanted to spend as much time in the countryside as possible (specifically Killarney), but we did visit Dublin for a couple days near the end of our trip before taking the Stena Line back to England (where we finished our…
