What are the best things to do in Amelia Island? Is it crowded? And more importantly, where on earth is Amelia Island? These were pretty much the first questions Kevin asked when he saw this stop listed on our cross country road trip adventure from California to Florida. Checking out…
Enjoy taking classes and trying something new? Ever gone to a candle bar? Kevin and I are always down for a class — especially as adults since it typically doesn’t involve grades or pop quizzes. Over the years, we’ve done cooking classes, ceramics, wine tasting, Spanish and Portuguese classes, painting…
This past Thanksgiving, we visited my sister’s family in St. Augustine, Florida — the nation’s oldest city. And yes, now you’re ready for that next round of Jeopardy! We loved taking our nephews and niece to see the holiday lights. But there is so much more to explore. That’s why…
Full disclosure, this post is a slight detour from my typical travel feature. A little over a year ago, my sister and her family moved from Tampa to Jacksonville, Fla. For the past several years, Kevin and I would visit Florida around Christmas and plan out a fun activity for…
Kevin and I just got back from visiting family in Jacksonville, Florida, for Thanksgiving. While it was our first time here, we had no idea it would be so large. Believe it or not, Jacksonville is the LARGEST city in the continental US, stretching more than 840 square miles. Who…

For the past 5 years, Kevin and I have headed to Tampa, Florida for Christmas to visit my family. Rather than haul a bunch of gifts from LA, it’s become a tradition for us to do a big activity with the family. Kevin takes a break from all the snacking…
It’s been a crazy busy July for us — hence the lack of recent blog posts. But it doesn’t mean we’ve slowed down on our travels. Kevin has been crunching on a big work project — so as a reward, his company sent everyone on an all-expenses paid vacation to…
The Christmas time fun continues with the family in Tampa, Florida. This year, my mom planned for us all to do a food walking tour of Tampa’s historic Ybor City, located just northeast of downtown. Let’s just say, this food tour went MUCH smoother than the one Kevin and I planned last…
Kevin and I headed to Tampa for Christmas to see the family. It’s becoming our annual tradition – now our 4th year doing so. And each year, we’ve manage to do some type of fun activity together. A lot of places are closed in Tampa over the Christmas holidays, which…
