Indianapolis' Best Restaurants: A Local's Guide

My SIL, her husband, and their two boys live in West Harlem so I have been out a couple times with my kiddos to visit. Here is my 24 hour itinerary in the big apple with my little travel buddy, Blake (my 4 yo best dude) for our most recent trip. We flew in late Friday night, explored all day Saturday, then Sunday was a day of indoor play for the boys. Follow along the map for our exact route and how we made the most out of our short time in the city. We took the train from uptown to Central Park, traveling on foot from there until just before taking the train from Grand Central to the ferry in the evening and then back home.

Read along with me as I tell you exactly how I spent the perfect 12 (ish) hour date night in Chicago with my husband and our two best friends. Reva, my fire wife and book bestie have recently entered our hockey romance era (didn't know that was actually a thing but here we are). After reading a couple hockey smut novels we found ourselves booking a trip to the windy city to enjoy a Chicago Blackhawks game...since it's valentines day next week we invited our hubbies to join us too ;) It ended up being the absolute perfect evening beyond fulfilling our hearts' hockey desires. We were led to the last standing prohibition era speakeasy, in the basement of the oldest building in Chicago. We shared a second hand smoke fueled nostalgic visit to one of the mob boss locales as well. Foodie finds on this trip were a solid 10 out of 10! Our hotel was just the right amount of classy yet affordable and we plan to return in the summer to spend time exploring the area on foot here too!

I will share the boutique hotels we stayed in during our 5-day Pacific Coast Highway road trip. Starting in San Francisco, we made our way down the coast staying in the most charming boutique hotels along the way. Stops included Carmel and Santa Barbara. Interested in recreating the entire trip? Be sure to check out my detailed daily 6-day itinerary with all the stays, eats, and views along the way with an interactive map included.

For our anniversary, my husband and I took a 4-day road trip through Arizona. We began in Phoenix hiking Camelback, explored a ghost town, sunset hiked a Sedona vortex, stargazed in awe & slept under the stars on an authentic Navajo reservation near Page, and felt the wonder that is the Grand Canyon. This 4-day itinerary will fill you with enough adventure to last a lifetime! This Ultimate Arizona Road Trip Adventure is the result of hours of planning and research. The guide features an interactive map, detailed directions, as well as recommended stops and activities,a alternative plan options, trail information for hiking enthusiasts, prime photo spots, dining recommendations, and more; all neatly organized into a 4-day itinerary!
