Tampa Zoo One thing that we like to usually do in a new city is go to the zoo. We love animals and enjoy watching them play and learning all about them. Since we didn’t have a big trip planned over the Memorial day weekend, we decided to do some short day trips instead and […]
A Day in Grand Haven Besides Holland, Grand Haven has one of my favorite beaches in Michigan. So, that is exactly where I went for the day! It is only a 40 minute drive from Grand Rapids making it an easy day trip or half-day trip. Just like Holland, the Grand Haven beach is in […]
One of my favorite activities is hiking. Unfortunately, Tampa Bay isn’t exactly known for great hiking trails. So, while in Michigan, I jumped at the chance to break out my hiking boots. Well… not exactly boots. More like Chacos (sandals). Western Michigan provides unique hiking trails combining dirt paths and sand trails. Sometimes you climb up dunes […]
A Day in Grand Rapids We planned on getting up early and going out for a nice breakfast before Nisheet headed to work. Who am I kidding? That didn’t happen. Not even close. I planned on spending the day in Grand Rapids. I wouldn’t need the car, so I took my time getting ready while […]
Traveling to Michigan Nisheet had to travel to Michigan last week for work and I tagged along. Can you believe we haven’t made it back to Michigan since we moved a year ago? I wanted to see our old friends and visit our old hangouts. I missed the amazing beer, good food, and salt-free shark-free beaches. I […]
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 […]
