When I was in San Francisco last month, I made a dream come true. I got to see Hamilton: An American Musical, live on stage. (Sidenote, what do they call seeing broadway shows in San Francisco? It’s not seeing a show on Broadway. Is it just seeing a show in San Francisco?) Anyways, in addition to… [Read More]
A Weekend in San Francisco
For my trip to Napa, I flew in and out of San Francisco. They’re just an hour away from each other and it was really fun to have a trip that was part vineyards in the country part city by the bay. When my Napa press trip ended on Friday, I spent the weekend in San… [Read More]
Exploring Downtown Napa
Napa has been on my bucket list of places to visit since long before I had a taste for wine. Growing up, it sounded so romantic, so beautiful, and just like a place where amazing things happened (And this is before you even factor in the wine!). When I was invited by DoNapa to spend… [Read More]
Hiking in Antigua
Antigua was the fourth port of our 10 day Royal Caribbean cruise. (Catch up on the first island we visited, the second island we visited, and the third island we visited.)

The beauty of NOLA
Tomorrow is Mardi Gras! Which if you’re like me makes you think of New Orleans, King Cake, beads, jazz music, big parades, and a whole lot of fun. While I’d love to spend a Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Mardi Gras now makes me think of another NOLA: Northern Louisiana. Just a few hours away… [Read More]
Horseback Riding in St. Kitts

A Day on Peter Island
Our first port stop on our Royal Caribbean holiday cruise was Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. I have heard wonderful things about B.V.I. and did a lot of research on what we should do once we docked for the day. The last thing I wanted to do was be on a crowded beach staring… [Read More]
Cruising on Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas
On December 23 Josh and I took a ten night Royal Caribbean cruise to the Southern Caribbean. It was my first cruise ever so I had no idea what to expect. I’ve heard mixed things about cruises but loved the idea of getting to spend Christmas and New Years on the ocean, wake up every… [Read More]
