In the movie, they stay at Esperanza, an Auberge Resorts Collection. The beaches and the cliffside dining area alone were enough to tug at my wanderlust heartstrings. Those who live on the West Coast can just hop a flight to Cabo easy peasy, but those of us who live on the East Coast have a longer flight to and from Cabo. So taking a weekend trip to Cabo is kind […]

Every summer, my family and I would travel through New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, and Wyoming to visit my grandparents.

Sometimes my Grandpa Lashlee would go with us. My grandma would love these lovely Christmas lights from around the world.

Florida has some beautiful beaches and great vacation destinations, one of those being Daytona Beach. Located on the Atlantic side of Florida, Daytona is the home of the Daytona International Speedway and plays host to Daytona Bike Week and the Daytona Turkey Run Car Show and Swap Meet. My husband and I recently vacationed in Daytona Beach for the Thanksgiving holidays. We actually left the Friday before and drove down, stopping in Albany for the night, before heading to the Moultrie (Ga.) Car Corral and Swap Meet on Saturday morning. We ended staying almost all day and purchasing a blue […]
