London Travel Guide

When we found out that Andy needed to go to London for a week for work, there was no way I was staying home! I’d been there twice before about ten years ago and loved it. It was no different this time. There’s just something about London. For me, it feels comfortable...

Honeymoon: Florence edition

After a few days in Venice, we took the train to Florence. It is stunning. While Venice is a mish-mashed beauty thrown together by necessity, Florence was designed to be beautiful, with it’s cream-colored facades and Renaissance architecture. It’s bright and shiny with lots of space to step back and...

Hit the road

I’ve probably said this a million times before already, but I just really love traveling. I feel like every trip opens my eyes to so many new and wonderful things, and I learn so much. As we were driving from Ohio to South Carolina and back, I couldn’t help but...
