While visiting Vienna, I couldn’t help but snap photos everywhere I went. It’s a beautiful city full of stunning architecture, fascinating history, and royal palaces. Here is a list of my top Instagram-worthy spots around Vienna, Austria. St. Stephen’s Cathedral Construction of the St. Stephen church and parish began in 1137 and is still under construction today as are many churches throughout Europe. As you stroll through the streets of Vienna you will most likely spot the tall spires that…
After three days of exploring Amsterdam, we decided to rent a car and take a day trip to some nearby towns. It’s incredible how easy it is to get around by foot in Amsterdam and across the Netherlands by car. It’s a surprisingly small country. TIP: Just beware of driving in Amsterdam.

This adventure was a little less strenuous than most of my weekend trips around Florida but no less fun. Oak Haven Farms provides a relaxing atmosphere and absolutely beautiful scenery. The perfect setting for strawberry picking. It was my first time picking strawberries and such a great weekend activity close to Orlando. The farm was not overly crowded which is something I tend to worry about whenever we do something in or around the Central Florida area. It’s the Disney…

Each year, artisans from Harbin, China hand-carve scenes from holiday classics out of two million pounds of ice for the main attraction ICE! at Gaylord Palms.

A piece of history is reborn with the opening of the Fenway Hotel in Dunedin, Florida. After an extensive restoration project, this Jazz Age hotel is now welcoming guests once again. The Fenway Hotel originally opened its doors in 1927 and since then has gone through various changes. From the first radio station in Pinellas County to a members-only club to college and back to the hotel again; those are just some of the transitions this historic building has gone…
