2024 Travel Journal
2024 Travel Journal
Katie Howerton
2024 was more of a homebody year for me and my family, but between a visit to NYC to see my sister, my eldest daughter’s first Disney vacation, a family reunion in Kentucky, celebrating our ninth anniversary in Kansas City, and lots of Tennessee day trips, I was still able to see lots of new corners of our wild world. Enjoy this travel journal of over 300 places, including:
🖼️ 32 Museums, Gardens, Theatres, and Attractions
☕️ 63 Coffee Shops
🍽️ 79 Restaurants, Bakeries, Bars, and Food Trucks
🛏️ 14 Hotels, Bed & Breakfasts, and Airbnbs
⛪️ 18 Places of Worship
✨ and a whole bunch more!
Scroll to the bottom for my favorites of the year!

@katie.howerton
Dinner only. Suggestion from Abby West - It was good! Sausage pie was the best we tried (margherita was underwhelming - felt like it needed to be rolled out thinner and had more balance w the ingredients). Good sauce. Good marinated olives and surprisingly well-balanced Dijon molasses vinaigrette for the salad. Outdoor seating on their patio and in their covered patio to sit and eat your meal. Heavy pours on the wine. Canned beer only.
