Busch Gardens We had some guests visiting us over the weekend from Michigan, so we thought we’d use it as an opportunity to visit Busch Gardens Tampa. We were a bit anxious about the crowds as it is the spring break time of year, so we tried our best to get to the Busch Gardens when it […]
Weekend in Las Vegas (On the Strip) I took Nisheet on a surprise getaway, and we spent the weekend in Las Vegas! Somehow, I managed to keep it a secret until we got to the airport. We walked up to our gate, and the secret was finally revealed! Getting from Tampa Bay to Las Vegas […]
Florida Road Trip As the wise ones like to say, “all good things must come to an end” and so was the case with our great Florida road trip. It was Christmas Eve, and Ashley was insisting we come back to Tampa Bay to celebrate the holidays with her. We decided to make the most […]
The Everglades With the past 4 days spent exploring the space coast, big cities, and beautiful beaches of Florida, we decided to mix things up a bit and explore what Florida’s nature has got to offer to us. As it happened to be, the Everglades National park was on the way home. With one of […]

Written by Nisheet: With family in town for the holidays on their first ever visit to Florida, we decided what better way to discover the sunshine state than taking a 6 day whirlwind road trip thru the state.
