Visiting Cayo Costa is a fun and unique experience. Whether you’re camping at Cayo Costa or just visiting for the day, you’re going to love it! Cayo Costa State Park is often referred lovingly as “real Florida.” That makes sense since it has not changed much since the European settlers arrived 500 years ago. To …
You might know that my husband and I like to take spontaneous trips. Our last spontaneous trip was over Memorial Day and this weekend, we took a similar trip to check out breweries in the Port Saint Lucie and Stuart area. Back in December, we bought a Hop Passport. Basically, it’s a “passport” of breweries …
If you follow me on Instagram, then you may have seen me post about disappointment that Memorial Day would look different than what I’m used to. Typically, on a long weekend, we’d head to the Keys or somewhere a little farther from home to take advantage of the extra time off of work. Even though …

I originally wrote this post mid-quarantine, but never got around to posting it because if I’m being completely honest (and I’ve promised myself I would be on my blog), quarantine didn’t really bother me. All of the emotions that others seemed to feel 1-2 months ago are just now hitting me. I know, I’m late …

This is probably going to be the longest post I’m ever going to write. It is really long. Should I separate into several different posts by location? Perhaps. Could it be a book? Probably. But the Florida Keys are beyond special to me so I wanted this guide to be perfect. I didn’t want to …
Today on my Instagram, I shared a photo from New Orleans that I loved. Despite the good picture, there was a lot going on behind the scenes. As a traveler, I’ve had many travel lessons and many of them mimic what we see in everyday life. Perhaps travel is good practice for the real world? …

We’ve visited the Fort Myers area several times but have never really taken the time to explore the area. When we had 5 uninterrupted days off around Christmas, we decided to explore one of our favorite things in the area: breweries. We did this self-directed Fort Myers Breweries tour the day after Christmas, which was …
One of the reasons that staying spontaneous on our road trip to the Keys worked out so well for us is that had we planned it, I don’t think we would have planned to travel as far south as we did. I had no idea that we’d enjoy driving the Overseas Highway so much, which …

I always feel a bit foolish admitting this, but of all the places I’ve been, Key West is my favorite. Yep, in all the world, my favorite place is a 4×2 mile island that doesn’t have good beaches and is known for bar crawls. Perhaps the reason I love this island is because, aside from …
