Disney Springs (formerly known as Downtown Disney) For a fun day out with Allison and Pete, we checked out Disney Springs. Disney Springs is part of the Walt Disney World Resort. But, it doesn’t have all the rides and attractions like the parks such as Magic Kingdom. Instead, street entertainment, restaurants, and stores fill Disney Springs’ streets. Exploring […]
While lazing in our new hammock the other day, Nisheet and I decided that we weren’t taking enough advantage of living in Florida. This state offers beaucoup activities year round, and if we don’t get off our behinds soon, we will never see it all! First on our list of adventures this summer was Cocoa […]
The Florida Botanical Gardens Nisheet and I had some guests in town for the weekend, and we wanted to show them that Florida has more to offer than just beaches and amusement parks. After looking at a couple options, we ended up taking them to the Pinellas County Florida Botanical Gardens. We had previously been to […]
Having lived in the midwest for more than a decade, we have been very lucky to have camped at some of the most beautiful places. Just to name a few, we have camped at Sleeping Bear Dunes MI, Pictured Rocks MI, and Peninsula State Park WI. While all these spots provided excellent camping opportunities, none […]
Springtime in Chicago A couple weeks ago Nisheet and I headed north to watch my brother and his beautiful bride tie the knot. And since they live only 2 hours away from our old stomping ground, we made a quick stop to see springtime in Chicago. I might be known to ramble on and on […]
Crystal River: Ashley’s dad visited Tampa recently and, since it’s a tradition for whenever he visits, we went kayaking! When he was over for Thanksgiving last year, he brought 2 of his boats and was kind enough to leave one of them here for us to enjoy over the winter. And enjoy it we did! So much so that […]
Sadly, today was our last day in Reykjavik, and we were already dreaming of our next adventure in Iceland. But before we left, we had one more attraction left on our list. Reykjavik 871 +/-2 The Settlement Exhibition. Be sure to read about our other adventures in Iceland including The Blue Lagoon, Golden Circle, Day in […]
The Secret Lagoon: We had been having some action packed days with tours to the Golden Circle, Reykjanes Peninsula, and South Coast, so we were in need of a chill day. So that is exactly what we had. After a lazy morning hanging around the hostel, we boarded a shuttle bus through Sterna Travel to take […]
South Coast: After spending a quiet day in Reykjavik (check out the Reykjavik city post), we were ready to get out and explore more of Iceland. Today’s adventure? The South Coast. We once again took GeoIceland just as we had for the Golden Circle and the Reykjanes Peninsula. Since we took 3 tours with them, they gave […]
Ashley Brought Home Candy For An Icelandic Candy Taste Test As you have probably gathered by the endless stream of Iceland blog posts (Golden Circle, Reykjanes Peninsula, Day in Reykjavik) and pictures (Iceland Photo Gallery), I went on an epic adventure to Iceland with Melissa. And, we went without Nisheet! Sometimes you just have to have […]
