This year has been one crazy thing (usually bad) after another, so when my grandparents offered to let us use their timeshare points for a little getaway we didn't have to think twice. We took them up on their offer and began checking out our options. We knew we wanted to go somewhere we've never been before. We love going to the beach, but since our trip was going to be in November, it seemed going to the north east coast might be a fun option -- think of all the fall leaves! That's what led us to choose Newport, Rhode Island. Today, I'm sharing all about our trip! Let me start by saying Continue Reading
The Best Spots in Clarksville, Tennessee
When we found out we would be PCSing to Fort Campbell and living in Clarksville, Tennessee, I was excited because it would be fairly close to Indiana. (Four hour drive from my family) What I didn't realize, though, is how much I would love the Clarksville area. We lived there for almost two years, and now that we recently moved I've been thinking back to all the neat spots that I loved in that city. For those out there who are PCSing to Fort Campbell or maybe already live in Clarksville, I wanted to share those favorite spots. About a week before we moved, a friend took me a park that was Continue Reading
Things to Do in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg
It's been several months since we took our family trip to the other side of Tennessee. I just haven't gotten around to sharing about it! In the fall, we drove to Pigeon Forge and spent a few days having all kinds of fun. There is so much to do there, but we made the most of the little time we had. Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg Activities Ripley's Aquarium We loved this aquarium! I didn't think it would be that neat -- I mean a bunch of fish, who cares? But it was probably our favorite part of the whole trip! They had tons of fish and sea life to look at, not to mention penguins! My favorite part Continue Reading
Taking Baby to the Beach: Two Items You Need
Like I said in my post about flying with a baby, Raylee had her first trip to Florida recently. That means she also had her first visit to the beach. Just like I was nervous about the airplane ride, I was also nervous about the beach visit. Taking baby to the beach seemed a little overwhelming. I imagined us carrying a thousand items out there and coming back covered in sand. I wasn't sure it would be all that fun. But thankfully, it was a success! Raylee loved the beach. She loved feeling the sand in her hands, and she only tried to eat it once. It was very fun getting to watch her examine Continue Reading

Things to Do in Seattle
Our last stop on our road trip up the west coast was to Seattle, Washington. I had never been to this state before, so I'm excited I got to mark it off my bucket list! Seattle was rainy, dreary, and cold just as we expected. But despite the weather, we really enjoyed our day in this city. Seattle Must-Sees Space Needle Our first stop was the Space Needle, of course. It's what Seattle is known for! We got combo tickets for the Space Needle and the glass museum so that we could get a discount since we knew we were going to both. We also recommend finding parking on the street or even a nearby Continue Reading
3 Places to Visit in Oregon
On our west coast road trip, we went all the way up the coast of California and entered Oregon. I had only been to Oregon just to cross the state line and say I'd been there. Travis had never been there at all. We were both excited to see what this state had to offer. We weren't able to spend a lot of time in Oregon, but we saw there main spots that were beautiful. If you go to Oregon, I highly recommend visiting these three places! Must-Sees in Oregon Multnomah Falls This was probably our favorite spot in Oregon. A friend who is originally from Oregon recommended we go see it, and I'm so Continue Reading
West Coast Road Trip
As you all know, Travis and I took a baby moon vacation together recently. We flew into San Diego, rented a car, and drove all the way up the coast visiting tons of cities and beautiful scenery. It was an awesome west coast road trip -- something we've always wanted to do together. It seemed like the perfect trip to celebrate "just the two of us" before welcoming our little girl next year. During our west coast road trip, we visited these cities: San Diego Los Angeles Santa Barbara San Francisco Portland Seattle And probably a lot more along the way! You can read Continue Reading
Things to Do in San Francisco
I've been to San Francisco three times in my life -- once as a kid on a family vacation, once in college on spring break, and now as an adult during my baby moon vacation.

Tips for Visiting Los Angeles
I told you all about our first few days on our baby moon vacation when we visited San Diego. Our next stop up the coast was Los Angeles. Today, I'm sharing what we did and a few tips for you in case you take a trip to L.A. We stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton next to the airport. We were able to get a good deal for the hotel on Priceline. The hotel was really nice, but the best part was it's location. It was close to Hollywood and Santa Monica, which meant less time driving in heavy traffic to get to any specific destination. Hollywood Blvd When we drove into Los Angeles, our first Continue Reading
Our Price is Right Experience
During our baby moon vacation, after spending time in San Diego, we drove up to Los Angeles. While we were there, we visited Hollywood Blvd, Venice Beach, Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Long Beach. We accomplished a lot in just two days! But our favorite part of LA was getting to experience the Price is Right game show from behind the scenes. Have you ever wondered what it's like to be in the studio audience of the Price is Right? Well, I'm about to share some secrets! Copyright: dolgachov / 123RF Stock Photo Behind the Scenes at the Price is Right We got out tickets online, Continue Reading

Travis and I just got back from our west coast road trip, also known as our baby moon vacation. We flew into San Diego, rented a car, and drove all the way up the coast to Seattle. The trip was fantastic. We started in San Diego and spent two days visiting the sunny southern California area. Perhaps you are heading that way? Check out what we did during our short visit. I can't believe how much we fit in! Must Sees in San Diego Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial This historic landmark honors the veterans who have served our country.
