Okay, the day has finally come for the last Europe travel post.  You may or may not have read yesterday, but I explained how I thought the blog was becoming stale and lacking variety with such a heavy focus on travel.  I wanted a break from exclusively talking about...

As promised I’m finally getting our Scotland trip up on the blog.  I’ve talked about everything else about our Europe summer vacation but what many of you probably don’t know is it all started with Scotland. We’ve traveled to France, England, and Ireland, but Scotland...

I should have had this post up a few months ago... SHAME but better late than never I always say.  The Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Paris was my favorite thing about or last trip to Paris.  Also known and commonly referred to the Sacre Coeur, it sits up on a hill...

I'm back with another Europe post, I actually have a few more left that I want to write.  I needed a little mini break, but now I'm ready to share Windsor Castle with you!  You might say we we're fans of Harry and Meghan, we all got up at 5 am to watch the wedding and...

I've had lots of people ask me what our favorite part of our 6 week Europe vacation was.  It's a hard question, all the countries were amazing in their own way, but I would say Bruges in Belgium won my heart.  It's a close call with Italy though... it was amazing...

Visiting Inveraray Castle was like stepping into a fairy tale.  It was probably one of our favorite things while in Scotland and I'm so excited to share it with you today.  You might have remembered how I mentioned in a few older blog posts how Brian is related to the...

Bonjour! I am back with another travel post today, with one of my favorite places in the world, PARIS!  It's just such a magical place, and even though we recently visited during the heat wave in the peak of travel season it was still amazing.  I'm incredibly grateful...

I'm back up and running now - although a bit slowly - so let's talk about Brighton!  I have a ton of vacation posts to write but I felt the urge to start with Brighton, I guess because it makes me think of the beachy summer and I feel summer slipping away quickly!  I...

Home sweet home.  I had such an amazing trip with Brian, I saw the most beautiful things.  I had fun, I had adventure, I laughed and I cried, having said that I'm now so happy it's over!  We arrived home late Thursday night, it was such a long day, we flew home from...

Last minute decisions on our vacation led us to Cambridge and I'm incredibly grateful we got to explore this amazing place!  It's funny where life will sometimes lead you, and we absolutely fell in love with Cambridge.  Not including travel days, we spent 2 full days...

Recently we took a trip to Dublin, as you may or may not know this wasn't our first time visiting the city.  On our last visit to Ireland we spent a good chunk of our time outside of the city.  It was an amazing trip but once we returned home I started wishing we...

WARNING:  This blog post may cause hunger pains and an intense urge to drink beer. BEER Let's start with the obvious here, beer!  Belgian beer can be traced back to the 12th century.  It is believed that St. Arnold saved his people from the plague by telling them to...

A few days after we arrived in London we took a day trip through Viator to Stonehenge and Bath.  It takes a little over 2 hours to get to Stonehenge by bus or car from London.  As far as I know there is no way to get there by train, so going by bus and taking the tour...

I’ve always wanted to explore the charming neighborhood of Notting Hill so when we were able to find a hotel inside the neighborhood we jumped at the chance to stay.  When we were spending our last few days in Italy we kinda had a ruh-roh moment and realized we hadn’t...

I can't get over the town of Bellagio, just stare at it and take it in for a minute.  The entire area of Lake Como has stunning beauty but this town nestled up against the mountains is just perfection.  It's everything you'd expect it to be and more. We didn't stay in...
