While my husband, Travis, has been living in South Korea, he has been able to visit a few new places. One of those places was Bali, Indonesia where he spent a few days exploring. He has given me a list of places he went and things he did, so I can share with you a great list of things to do in Bali. Travis' Recommendations Lumbung Sari House of Coffee Sit in your own personal bungalow right on the water as they bring you 15 different flavors of coffee and tea. I am not a huge coffee and tea drinker, but these were so good! Plus, after I finished drinking them all, I felt like I could Continue Reading

Things to Do in Dallas Fort Worth
Have I mentioned this is my year of traveling? I hope I have lots of years of traveling, but this feels like my first big "let's see how many places I can go" year. I've been to South Carolina, Korea, Hawaii, Tennessee, and Florida so far this year. Plus, I've lived in Georgia and Indiana. I've drove through even more states! In fact, I've visited three new states I've never been to -- Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma. I went through those states during my trip to Texas. It's kind of random how I ended up going to Texas, but I jumped on the chance to take a trip down there. We went to the Continue Reading

Florida Vacation 2015
Every year, Travis' family heads to Panama City Beach for a vacation full of sunshine, sunscreen, and sand. I am so grateful that I get to be a part of this tradition.

Eating way too much food. Playing games. Beating records in paddle ball. Laughing. Going for walks. Playing video games. Crab hunting in the sand. Painting little toenails. Watching sunsets. Wearing sunscreen. Making memories. This is a Continue Reading

6 Things to Do in Oahu
Are you heading to Hawaii? Perhaps to the island of Oahu? Travis and I recently got to visit Hawaii, and it was awesome to say the least. The Army sent him there to take a class for a week, and I wasn't about to let him go without me! So we got me a plane ticket too, and off we went to a place I've always wanted to go! We had six days to do everything we wanted, and I was surprised that we fit everything into one week! During the day, I would go explore on my own while Travis was in class. I would pick him up in the evenings and we'd adventure out together. After our time in Oahu, I came Continue Reading
83 Grill in Daegu
When we visited the 83 Tower in Daegu, we learned one of the very top floors is a romantic restaurant. We made reservations. We were both excited to get dressed up and have a romantic date night at this new restaurant. The restaurant was beautiful and fancy and romantic -- perfect for a special date. I loved the chandeliers on the ceiling, the huge bouquets of flowers, the candles on the tables -- all of it. The very best part was the view of course! We could see the whole city with all its sparkling lights. Oh, and did I mention the restaurant rotated?! Yes, it rotates so you get a 365 Continue Reading
