We are now at the halfway point of our trip and I’m so sad about it. It’s fun to escape work for a little bit and also rediscover my love for this amazing city as the life has come back to it post-COVID. We didn’t have much planned for this day, so it was actually [...]
Day 2 of our trip and my feet were already feeling all the walking we did the day before! Luckily, I did bring a pair of shoes that I had worn all the time when I lived in New York City. I wore them today and pretty much for the rest of the trip. We [...]
I can't believe I got to go back to my favorite city for the first time as a tourist since I moved away in 2021! I was a little nervous going back because I didn't know what feelings would flood back when I got there. When I lived there it was honestly the best of [...]
Our final Disney blog post for now! We did a lot of research before going to figure out how to have the least stressful and most fun trip we could possibly have, but ended up learning a lot in the moment as well. Like every trip, there were a few hiccups (mainly us getting sick [...]
I have the perfect girls trip weekend getaway spot in Arkansas! It's so great that Mary Ellen and I have now gone twice. Hot Springs is a special spot for us to go to for a quick trip because it was the first place we visited after all the COVID lockdowns. The wineries up there [...]
One thing I knew we were going to do a lot of on this trip was enjoy all of the food and drink offerings that Walt Disney World (and Universal) has to offer! I love how there is so much thought put into every single part of the Disney parks. Of course, that includes the [...]
I can't believe that we are already on the last day of our trip! This is so bittersweet because I have really enjoyed revisiting this vacation through these blog posts. On the other hand, I'm excited to continue to share other trips and posts again. I do have at least two more Disney themed blog [...]
In the original plans for our big trip, we had hoped to be able to spend our birthdays at Walt Disney World. We got to celebrate Mary Ellen's birthday while we were there, but because of timing, we were back home a couple of days before my birthday. However, that didn't stop us from treating [...]
As I mentioned before, we planned this trip around our birthdays. To celebrate, we both got to pick what we wanted to do to spend our special days. Since Mary Ellen's birthday was actually during the trip, we celebrated her birthday at her favorite park at Walt Disney World, Hollywood Studios. I figured since we [...]
Maybe as expected, we planned very little for the day after drinking around the world at Epcot. In addition to needing to slow down and relax a bit in the middle of our trip, we also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to be spontaneous. A Walt Disney World trip takes a lot of [...]
