Written by Ashley: Nisheet and I decided to move to Florida around the same time the Blackhawks crushed the Lightening (sorry TB…maybe next year), so when I googled “Chicago vs Tampa Bay”, the first 10 pages of results were all about hockey. Now that we have lived here for a few weeks, we have come up […]
Written by Ashley: We did it. We actually did it. We made the big move from the Midwest to Florida. It was a big headache moving 2 apartments in 2 different states 1,225 miles south, but it could have been a lot more stressful. The movers for both apartments did all the work while we stood […]
Platte River On our last day of our Sleeping Bear camping trip, rain looked promising. We didn’t let it stop us though. We grabbed our rain jackets, rented a kayak, and paddled down the Platte River. It was crowded! I can’t imagine how busy it gets on a sunny day during peak season (near the […]
Old Mission Peninsula On the 2nd full day of our Sleeping Bear Dunes Camping trip, the weather was absolutely gorgeous, so we opted to go for a winery bike tour (self guided) on the Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City. Center road is fairly easy to bike, has a wide shoulder, and the traffic was sparse the […]
Sleeping Bear Dunes We have a secret. Soon we will be moving to Florida! (I guess it isn’t really a secret anymore, huh?) Since we have limited time remaining in the Midwest, we decided to make memorial day weekend into an extra long weekend and go camping at one of our favorite places, Sleeping Bear […]
Written by Nisheet: Since the forecast for today called for the quintessentially Florida 80 F weather, I decided to get up extra early for some Tampa Bay exploring. A friend back home had told me to check out the city of Tarpon Springs for the most authentic Greek food and sponges so that’s where I […]
Written by Nisheet: What’s the first thing you do if you have to fly from Michigan to Tampa Bay in the dead of winter? Go to da beach, of course! After landing in Tampa at 5pm, I was pleasantly greeted with the 70F temps which was almost the double the temps that I had experienced just […]
For our annual Labor Day Weekend trip, Nisheet and I ventured to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to see the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Tahquamenon Falls. I drove to Grand Rapids, and as soon as Nisheet got off work we hit the road. Our first stop was Mackinaw City. Unfortunately we were running a […]
London Our last day in London was the 4th of July. It was a very interesting feeling to be in the country that your own country won independence from on the anniversary of that independence day. I tried to find an American Independence Day party to attend but didn’t have much luck. There was going to […]
Edinburgh: Sadyl, we only had one last morning to spend in Edinburgh (read about our first and second days in Edinburgh) before catching the train back to London, and we planned to take full advantage of it. We started the morning by having a pastry and coffee in The Elephant House. I was a bit […]
