This view! I think this is one of my favorite WI state parks so far. It is huge, and there is so much to do.We went to House on the Rock (couldn’t get any pictures inside since it was SO dark) but we did go to its infinity room full of windows. We then drove […]

We bought our Europe tickets almost 7 months before our trip. That was really our only solid, well-thought-out planning done for this adventure. The rest was crammed in a couple hours, just 2 weeks before the trip 🙂 Honestly though, once the plane tickets are purchased the rest just falls into place. We decided our […]

We loved our Airbnb in Amsterdam. This place was so cool. Our host had such great style. We stayed just out of the city center in a super rad area. Being mere minutes from all of the sites, while avoiding the touristy crowds was perfect for us. The comforts of home were just outside our […]

Part two of our trip brought us to Paris – the city of fashion, art, pretty people, and amazing architecture. We spent our days visiting the popular spots like the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Eiffel Tower and even caught mass at Sacré Cœur. Everything (and I mean everything) was so beautiful.

Since being engaged and planning a wedding back home in Illinois, it feels like we are weekend commuters. So many Fridays, D and I roll out of Madison and into Chicago late at night and make the return Sunday. Most of those trips are spent in the suburbs, which don’t get us wrong, we love. […]

This summer has just flown. Maybe it’s wedding planning, maybe it is just the post college life. But, the fourth just seemed to pop up this year. We had a busy start to our summer months, and I think now we have some relaxing weekends ahead of us. I’m hoping to crank out some more […]

Our final day in Portland. How bittersweet. We had some fun things to look forward to, but ultimately we knew we were headed home that day. There is always a small sense of relief when you get to go home from a trip, but I could have stayed quite a few more days. There was […]
