Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Where the heck do I begin? Seriously, this place is like the most split-personality vacation I’ve ever taken. So I’m gonna share it all—what to do if you go… and what to AVOID like the plague. P.S. If you’ve ever been, please feel free to share your favorite spots I missed! I’m dividing…
So we just got back from The Grand at Moon Palace, an all-inclusive resort in Mexico, and I have two VERY important words for you: FREE MARGARITAS. I shit you not. They were FREEEEE… unless you consider the fact that you paid a crapload to go there in the first place. So are they really…
“Why don’t we live here?” I literally uttered this phrase every single day we were in Vail. And now that I’m home and I look out the window and the only view I have is of our weird neighbor who vacuums her front lawn and plants fake flowers in her yard (I kid you not),…
So the other day I was talking to Holden about the first time we went to Disney World, and he didn’t remember a thing. N.O.T.H.I.N.G. I meannnn, are you kidding me?!!! We spent like 9 million dollars on a hotel and tickets and the Happily Ever After Dessert party, and not because we wanted to…
You know what I totally hated about our vacation to Asheville? Coming home. We were only there for six days, and it was wayyy too short. So if you’re thinking about going to Asheville, here is some awesome shit to do there. And if you’re not thinking about going there, you crazy. And no, that’s…
Where the heck is Traverse City? Never heard of it. I mean I’m not gonna drop a boatload of dough to go to a place I’ve never even heard of. Then the pandemic happened. And everything changed. Suddenly the thought of cramming inside a metal capsule with 100+ germy strangers to fly somewhere didn’t sound…
So in case you haven’t noticed, I LOVE LOVE LOVVVVVE one-on-one trips with my kids. Whether it’s a campout in the backyard or a three-day vacation. Giving each other that undivided attention for a good stretch of time does something for our relationship that we don’t get in our crazy everyday life. It doesn’t have…
I cheated. Yup. When I heard if we wanted to get on the new Rise of the Resistance Star Wars ride that we would have to get to Hollywood Studios 90-120 minutes before the park even opens, I was like screw that. But then there was this little voice in the back of my head,…
You know what sucks? When you have to travel and miss your kiddos. I mean yeah, sure, sometimes it’s nice to get a good night sleep and take an uninterrupted shower and eat a whole meal sitting down without someone constantly asking your for milk or juice or dessert 9000 times, but then you remember…
There’s a moment when you’ll be walking around Washington DC or driving in a taxi from the airport and you’ll look around and you’ll be like holy crap. THIS. IS. AMAZING. There’s the Washington Monument! And the White House! And Jefferson’s Memorial! And the Capitol! Like the real live Capitol.
