Maine is filled with laid-back, outdoorsy towns and social locals.  We decided to explore the Southern Coast of Maine after flying into Portland. Summer and Fall are the most popular times to visit, and for good reason. Summer in Maine: for stunning beaches and wild blueberries Fall in Maine: for legendary foliage and festivals It can […]

Tides Inn is located outside the quaint, historic town of Irvington, Virginia. This Chesapeake Bay staple has been welcoming guests for 74 seasons but now with a refined look in 2020. We met a couple who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at Tides Inn and found out they celebrated their honeymoon here years ago.  […]

More About Us

I’ll be the one on your side, reminding you that the trip you keep thinking about is worth taking—and bringing it to life.

I started Melted & Moved from a genuine love of travel and a belief that few things in life grow us, or connect us quite like seeing the world. I still get giddy over a beautiful hotel lobby, steps leading down to the ocean get me every time, and there’s nothing quite like a nightcap after a day you wish didn’t have to end.

I’m Kate, Your Travel Advisor, Hotel Lover, Mom of Two & Firm Believer in Taking the Trip
