Things I Love!

Being Spontaneous (Or Not..)

You know how they tell you to be spontaneous before you have kids…and by spontaneous I am talking about travel. (get your head out of the gutter you dirty people you) Since last month was a bust, The Captain and I decided it might be nice to fly out for our favorite type [...]

Packing For Holiday Travel
