Let’s cut to the chase. The best way to experience Charleston is to eat your way through the city. Throw caution (and your diet) to the wind, roll up your sleeves, and dive in. At least that’s what I did, and I have zero regrets. You’ll walk through some of the most gorgeous neighborhoods in … Continue reading

A stroll through Savannah: What to do in 36 hours
As we left Savannah, I realized how happy I was that I treated myself to a spring break this year. Not intentionally, though. I didn’t even realize I was on spring break until the trip had already started. We spent time in both Savannah and Charleston a couple of weeks ago and the only regret I have … Continue reading
March’s New Thing: Savannah and the Savannah Bee Company
Initially, I wanted my visit to Savannah to count as my new thing for the month. It’s a city I’ve never visited but had always been curious about and it was more exciting than some of my other ideas. However, my travel buddy claimed that type of a post would be a “cop out.” Charming, isn’t … Continue reading
Not quite Romeo and Juliet
It all started with a number of noise complaints and one “that’s-it-I’m-so-over-this” call to the police…. Typically, this isn’t how most “love stories” begin, and this one certainly isn’t worthy of a book or a Nicholas Sparks adaptation, but it’s how mine started and it makes me smile. I’ve referenced my boyfriend (seriously, still hate … Continue reading
Views and Hues of Strasbourg, France
It’s not every day that I feel like I’m wandering through the Beauty and the Beast village. (Seriously, cue: Belle – Little Town.) But, lucky for me, I was able to feel that way for a couple of days during our trip. These were the days we stepped outside of the major cities and explored … Continue reading
The most royal of days
If you know anything about me, or have scrolled through my Instagram feed for a hot second, you’d know that I have a slight interest in the royal family, specifically in Kate Middleton. By that I mean I’ll read the occasional article or check out a post on her most recent fashions. I’m laughing as … Continue reading
Paris at night
Throughout our trip, we each had our own specific highlights, some of which differed and some that aligned. For example, I tend to get more excited about royal things than most normal people and he, well in this case anyway, is more of a normal person. Paris at night is another topic where we were split. I … Continue reading
Accidental Discovery: Carnaby Street
Sometimes when you’re on vacation, you’re welcomed with rain rather than sunshine, no matter how many anti-rain dances you’ve performed. I’m not talking a few sprinkles here and there. I’m talking a borderline downpour for a majority of the day. Shocking when it comes to London, I know. We were able to escape the rain for … Continue reading
The prettiest store I’ve ever visited: Fortnum and Mason
When your mom is an avid shopping enthusiast, making a statement this bold carries hefty weight. It’s no secret that if shopping was a professional sport, my mom would be the reigning champ. She has dragged my sister, dad, and me to countless stores for years, even if my dad was we were kicking and screaming. … Continue reading
A vacation hangover, of sorts
A couple of things happen after you take a two week vacation. Yes, I said it. A two week vacation. It’s a new thing I tried this year (more on that effort later…) and I don’t think I’ll ever look back. I was lucky enough to visit London, Paris, and Strasbourg, and the only negative thing … Continue reading
