We are big fans of the Disney Vero Beach Resort. Vero is about two hours away from Orlando. Disney also has resorts in Hilton Head (which is awesome!) and one in Hawaii (which we have not been to…YET!) Vero is great because you don’t even need to leave the resort for anything. (Other than the…
Did you even realize that the first wildlife refuge in the entire county was here in Florida? Not only that – it’s just a short two hour drive from Orlando?? I stumbled upon the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge while on a great bike ride down the Jungle Trail. I had no idea it was…
We love staying out at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. (More to come on that in a later blog…) We have been there a number of times and it’s just about the perfect vacation spot. It’s about a two hour drive from Orlando, close enough but not too close. This time, I figured I would bring…
Washington, D.C. to me is all about history, monuments, lots of walking and hanging with friends. It has rarely been about food. Typically when I visit, we are grabbing food on-the-go or stumbling to the next bar. But this time, I was determined to dig deeper into the DC food scene. While I wanted to…
My little man is obsessed with penguins. He has been ever since I can remember. We have penguins in all shapes and sizes. Including full on flannel penguin bed sheets, pajamas, necklaces, cups, plates….you name it, we’ve got it. When he grows up, he…surprise, surprise…wants to work with penguins. And be a BMX biker. He’s…
It took us awhile to get moving after a crazy long day 1 in Washington, D.C. This is a rare sight to me…but was much needed: We went on what seemed like the longest trip ever. Started on the Metro train, was detoured to a Metro bus….and then had to walk forever, just to…
A whirlwind weekend in D.C. really is worth blogging about…but honestly, I think I’m still recovering 😉 I already told you about the amazingness that was the White House Correspondents Dinner. When I first arrived late on Thursday, we visited some monuments…at midnight – at it was awesome. After some sleep we hit the ground…
I did more than just stalk celebrities on a recent trip to Washington, D.C. There will be more to come, but I’m so exhausted. However, I did want to share with you some of the beauty of the weekend. First, a night trip to visit Thomas Jefferson. It was about midnight and we were the…
Some might call me a celebrity stalker. But I’m not. I mean, I do want to find as many celebrities as possible and become best friends with them. So if you define that as a stalker, then fine. But really, all I want is a good picture, and a good story…so that the rest of…
ACTUAL CONVERSATION: Random student: “It’s so great you came back! What year did you graduate?” Me: “1994” Random student: “Oh…1994 is the year I was born! Cool!” Me: DYING….. Now – repeat this conversation about 300 times and that was my Friday night back at my high school. While I felt like an old lady…
