WHY YOU SHOULD DRIVE FROM MIAMI TO KEY WEST If you’ve never visited Key West. I strongly recommend driving rather than flying in because the views make it an incredible road trip and there is so much to do along the way that driving through the Keys should be part of the itinerary. It’s about […]

Travel Guide: The Florida Keys

Consistently named America’s favorite city, Charleston is full of southern charm. The Palmetto-fringed streets are full of culture, food, shopping, and antebellum homes that led Conde Nast to name it among the best cities in the world.

Mountain Resort Review: The Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley

Crawl. Walk. Travel. 1st time flying with Stella, we both learned a lot… I was nervous to be that mom on the plane, you know, the one with the screaming child.  But I had decided long ago that part of parenting for us meant that we wouldn’t stop traveling, so Stella is along for the […]

We arrived in Salt Lake City.  One of the draws to visiting Park City for a ski-in/ski-out experience is how close it is. Only a 40 minute drive and you are in the heart of a winter wonderland so if travel time is a concern, this is the trip for you.  Since we went to […]

Mountain Resort Review: The St. Regis Deer Valley in Park City, Utah

Covered in pink-white sand, rolling hills covered in green leaves, and fairy tale towns. Saint-Barts is the best kept secret of the French West Indies.  Maybe its because I’m craving a European adventure (because I always am) that the red roofs remind me of the the iconic blue tops in Santorini. But while we await […]
