WHAT TO DO | MY GUIDE TO NANTUCKET

Part two of our trip to Cape Cod to celebrate my mom's birthday was a day trip to Nantucket! None of us had ever been but have been dreaming about it for years so we were SO excited! There is so much to do in Nantucket, especially during the summer. Nantucket lies just 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, accessible only by ferry and plane, making it the perfect day trip destination. We woke up bright and early and hopped on the ferry at Hyannis Port (the same port we caught a

We’ve been making it a yearly tradition to take my mom on a trip for her birthday and this year we decided to head to the Cape!

My family and I have begun to make it a tradition to take a mini vacation for my mom's birthday each year.

WHERE TO EAT | MY GUIDE TO STOWE, VERMONT: IDLETYME BREWING COMPANY

Since we have lived right outside of Stowe, Vermont for a few years, Ryan and I have had a chance to try some great food and see some amazing sights. A lot of you guys ask me for recommendations when you come to visit the area so I am slowly putting together a list of all of our favorite Stowe things! The first restaurant I ever went to in Stowe when I first moved to Vermont five years ago was Idletyme Brewing Company. I am pretty sure that I went on one of the first days tha

WHERE TO STAY | MY GUIDE TO STOWE, VERMONT: TRAPP FAMILY LODGE

When Ryan and I first decided to move in together I wanted to find the perfect mix of city and country. Stowe, Vermont was THE PLACE and we rented our first apartment there. Now, nearly five years later, we are blessed to call this area our home and we absolutely LOVE it. Stowe is the PERFECT location for your winter getaway and there are so many reasons why! Not only is it the alpine Ski Capital of the East, but it also is a great place to get active with dogsledding, snowmo

WHAT TO DO | MY GUIDE TO GREENPORT, NEW YORK

There is so much to do in Greenport, New York, especially during the summer. Since we ended up going the week after Labor Day, a lot of the activities were closed, but we still had the best time! Here are a few of the things we actually did while we were there! Lavender By The Bay 7540 Main Rd, East Marion, NY 11939 I can only imagine how beautiful the lavender fields at Lavender By The Bay are when they are in full bloom.

WHERE TO STAY | MY GUIDE TO GREENPORT, NEW YORK: SOUND VIEW

When my sister, Samantha, and I decided we wanted to take a mini vacation with my mom to celebrate her birthday we knew we had to find the perfect spot!

MY GUIDE TO INLET BEACH, FLORIDA

This cool and casual beach town offers more of a low-key stay than the other towns along Scenic 30A. You will find cozy cottages next to more modern villas and the largest beach access of all of the towns. While we only visited Inlet Beach for a quick dinner on two different occasions, I could definitely see myself returning to explore more! EAT amici 30A: We went to amici 30A for happy hour and got more than we came for! Delicious drinks, tasty appetizers, and custom-made pe

MY GUIDE TO ROSEMARY BEACH, FLORIDA

The charming architecture of Rosemary Beach creates a sense of community unlike any other town that I visited along Scenic 30A. This New Urbanism community has interconnected neighborhoods complete with footpaths, boardwalks and secret pathways leading you to the shops, restaurants, tennis courts, swimming pools, and, of course, the beach! Cars are restricted on many of the roadways so you can wander without a care. Unlike Alys Beach, where all of the homes are white, the hou

MY GUIDE TO SEASIDE, FLORIDA

The carefree beach neighborhood of Seaside looks like it is straight out of a movie - because it is! The Truman Show was filmed here, and you can immediately recognize the perfect pastel houses, white picket fences and manicure lawns that Truman Burbank "grew up" in. You can walk or bike anywhere, and the town is filled with restaurants, art galleries and boutique shops. An outdoor amphitheater is often the site of concerts in the summer and Seaside's famous airstream trailer

MY GUIDE TO ALYS BEACH, FLORIDA

Alys Beach is perhaps one of the most visually stunning towns I have visited in a long time! The sugar-white sand and turquoise waters are complimented by a carefully crafted world in which all of the homes and buildings are whitewashed and nestled in the palm trees. You will find secluded courtyards, wide open green spaces, and beautiful entryways as you explore the stone-paved streets. Alys Beach is definitely an unforgettable oasis.
