Last year, right around this time, we went to Magic Kingdom with Nisheet’s parents.  We had an epic time exploring the happiest place on earth with all the rides, attractions, parades, and fireworks. Disney certainly knows how to celebrate Christmas. Everything was decked out to the “t”. So, while we wanted to experience a Disney […]

We always try to do something fun and adventurous for our birthdays. We rented jet skis for Nisheet’s birthday in June, and last year I went on a cruise to Mexico for my birthday. This year? We went to Universal’s Islands of Adventure in Orlando! We bought a 3-day pass when we went to Universal […]

*** Thanks, Mark, for taking the time out of your busy and adventurous life to write this travel guide to Hawaii! It has me dreaming of taking a trip there! *** Hawaii is one of those places where you never want to leave; the sun seems to always be out or around the corner, there […]

Fun at TreeHoppers: Is there a better way to finally welcome cooler weather (aka 80s and low humidity) to Florida than pretending to be monkeys in trees? I certainly can’t think of any. So, off we went for an afternoon at TreeHoppers Aerial Adventure Park in Dade City (north of Tampa). I want to explain right […]

Labor Day Weekend at Universal Studios Orlando It was almost the Labor Day weekend, and we suddenly realized that we had no plans. How did that happen??? We were heading to Orlando for a friend’s baby gender reveal party (it’s a boy!), but we didn’t know what we were going to do for the rest […]

Hiking in Acadia National Park We spent yesterday walking along the Ocean Path, so today we thought we’d change things up a bit and do some real hiking. Hiking in Acadia is popular though, so don’t expect that you’ll be able to escape the crowds. We checked out 2 different trails. One for families (Bubble Rock). And […]

A Day Trip From Savannah I didn’t mention it in my Savannah post, but while there, I did spend a day outside of the city. I planned on spending a couple hours each at Fort James Jackson, Fort Pulaski, and Tybee Island. It didn’t exactly work out as I envisioned, but you’ll just have to […]

Today was a LONG day in Acadia. We didn’t accomplish much the previous day because everything was taking longer than planned. In particular, we never made it to the Ocean Path, the main Acadia National Park attraction. So, today was cram day. And that meant starting the day at 3:30am! Cadillac Mountain The sun rise in Bar Harbor […]

Acadia National Park Day 1 I always get super excited about going to a national park, so I woke up ready to get on the road! The drive from Bangor to Bar Harbor is only 50 miles, but it might take you longer than you’d expect. Not because it is slow driving, but because you […]

Boston Day 3: We woke up bright and early on our third day in the Boston area because we had a lot of driving to do. We wanted to check out Sam Adams, see some witches in Salem, and then head up to Bangor, Maine for the night. But first, we had to make a quick […]
