In 2015, we spent a week in Cape Cod with my in-laws, staying in the adorable town of Woodshole. When we started planning our trip to the Cape, I had one thing on my “must do” list: Go whale watching. I had no idea what an amazing experience it would actually be and haven’t stopped saying… Continue reading A Whale of a Good Time
We recently booked our next big family vacation (to Costa Rica!) and I’m reminiscing on some of my favorite trips we’ve taken. Everything about Aruba was 100% amazing — so amazing that several times we considered going back there for this trip! After all, we know the island is safe, the people are great, the… Continue reading Ariba Aruba

We’ve been going to the lake for as long as I can remember, but we only started the family weekend tradition 4 or 5 years ago. We have a big family and most folks still live in Virginia but with everyone… Continue reading Virginia is for Lake Lovers
This trip was entirely different than our 2015 Ireland excursion. We had more stuff and the same amount of hands – not to mention we were locked in our room most nights by 7 PM, didn’t get to hear any music in the evenings at pubs and I only had 4 beers the whole time.… Continue reading Ireland: Planning and Packing
