We were itching for a getaway since the kids had just wrapped up the school year. We decided to stay close to home and do a long weekend at the beach. It was a little late to be booking for Memorial Day weekend so there wasn’t much thought into which beach we wanted to visit. We searched rentals that were…
We visited Dollywood years ago when the kids were preschoolers and it was great for that age group. Now that they are older, they wanted to go back and try some bigger rides! Resort One of my favorite parts of Dollywood is the DreamMore Resort. I love how the rooms have a nice King Bed for the adults and bunk…
Back in 2020 we visited the Nickelodeon resort in Punta Cana and had a blast. Here is more information about that trip if interested – Nick Review.

Tips on visiting Disney during a pandemic!
Did I mention my husband is not a fan of my weekend getaways? Well he actually loved staying at the Yin Yurt here in North Carolina and wants to go back! I should mention that while it was an escape to nature, there was a TV so he didn’t miss the Buckeye game. First of all, when I hear ‘yurt’…
We finally made it to the Biltmore Estate! We live just a couple hours away but always thought it was not a place for kids. We recently visited with some friends and had a blast. I was so surprised how much the kids loved it! The Biltmore Estate is in Asheville, NC and is worth a visit! The property itself…
We had visited Destin in June and there were a couple travel changes when flying but for the most part not too different than usual. However, when we flew to Florida in July it was very strange. I felt like we were on the Walking Dead. Our departing airport was empty, our flight was practically empty and when we landed…
We have family in Destin, so we go there at least once a year. However, this year was little different. We visited in June 2020 during the pandemic. For the most part, we had been in our house for the prior 3 months. We weren’t sure what it was going to be like to fly again. We didn’t know if…
This hotel is known for being luxurious and offering guests an amazing spa as well as a PGA golf course. I have always thought of it as a place for adults to escape.

Jellystone campground resorts have many different locations. However, this was our first time visiting and we decided on the Jellystone resort in Golden Valley NC (Bostic, NC).

We just got back from our first ski trip as a family and it was amazing. I had very low expectations since our kids are still young and had only put on skis once. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how much they loved skiing by the end. We arrived at Keystone on a Tuesday afternoon and left that Saturday.…
Our latest adventure led us to the all-inclusive Nickelodeon Resort in Punta Cana. We went with family which included 8 adults and 7 kids in total. We all live in different states so it is so wonderful to be able to all spend time together. If you have never done a vacation with family I recommend it. My boys had…
Sky Valley – Whistle Pig Adventures The Kid Zip Tour we decided to try was in Blowing Rock, NC. We packed up for a day trip and were off!

We recently took a trip to LegoLand and managed to sneak away for an evening to the most magical place on earth! We couldn’t be that close and NOT drop in for a visit. We could have purchased a day pass to a park but instead decided to get tickets to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. This was not…
