To celebrate our 5 year anniversary in November 2025, we escaped for a much-needed solo weekend in Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston had been on our list for years, and it’s so cool that we now live only a few hours away. It was filled with history, great food, and beautiful scenery. LODGING We stayed at the Best Western Charleston Inn, which provided a comfortable home base for our trip. Its location made it easy to explore downtown but nearby destinations like Johns Is

In the spring of 2025, we finally crossed Georgia off our bucket list. We spent a weekend exploring bits of Savannah and Tybee Island.

We tried to keep the trip inexpensive, full of highlights, and casual enough to bring our (then) one year old along. ACCOMMODATIONS Even though this was a city escape, we still kept it inexpensive and

Leadville easily became one of our favorite destinations in Colorado. There’s something undeniably thrilling about doing everything at 10,000 feet. The sheer hype of being at the highest elevation cit

We visited this small Bavarian style town during their opening weekend for holiday festivities. From Thanksgiving to February, Leavenworth glistens with over half a million Christmas lights. It's designated as one of the best Christmas towns in the U.S., and we can certainly see why.
