Hubby and I love a beach vacation, and we’ve tried to pass along our love to the kiddo. We spent nine days in Hawaii when the kiddo was just over a year old, but we haven’t had a successful beach vacation since then. A year after Hawaii, we took a weekend trip to San Diego …
Hubby, the kiddo, and I recently spent a week in Sydney, Australia. Hubby has visited several times for work, but I have never been able to join him. After every trip, I make him promise that I can tag along the next time he goes. That means he had to plan it far enough in …
I’m working on a blog post about my trip to Australia that’s taking longer than I thought. It’s coming, I swear! In the meantime, take 30 seconds to enjoy this gorgeous and peaceful sunrise over the Pacific Ocean that I captured one morning.

The post originally appeared on my previous blog on November 28, 2010. While many of you were out shopping on Black Friday, my husband and I took a road trip to Asheville, NC. Asheville is northwest of Charlotte and in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We’d been told by many people that we had to …

This year’s stadium tour took us to Orlando to see Orlando City SC play the Houston Dynamo. We made a long vacation out of the stadium tour, starting in Tampa for the baseball game, then spending the week at the Orlando theme parks, and ending with the Orlando City game. For the first time, we …
