Travel Guide: Charleston, SC

Charleston is a place that has been on my “must visit” list for quite some time. When we got news that we had a wedding to attend in Myrtle Beach we just knew we had to extend the trip and go to Charleston! I’m SO glad we did. It was the perfect time of year because crowds were down since kids were back in school but it was still warm. It was just such an amazing time and I highly recommend it. We were there for 6 days but there is still so much we didn’t get to do. I told Dan if we ever buy a vacation home, we are getting one in Charleston! :)

I’m sharing some of the things we did and enjoyed below!

Travel Guide: Portland, Maine

We just got back from a long weekend in Maine and it was such a great little getaway! We have been hearing great things about Portland so decided to go there and were not disappointed! We stayed in the cutest airbnb in a great location. We’re sharing our favorites of what we did on the trip below!

Aruba

We went to Aruba for Dan’s brother’s wedding and it was such a blast! The wedding was a beautiful, simple ceremony on the beach. Although we spent most time on the resort to be with family, we did rent a jeep on the last day to explore some of the island and I’m SO glad we did! We saw amazing scenery and had a lot of fun hopping out and exploring.

Weekend in York, Maine

Some photos from our spontaneous trip to York, Maine! We booked the trip seriously last minute—I mean Friday night and we went on Saturday morning haha. I love doing things like this with my fam! It's such a fun little surprise/treat to do after a long week or stressful few days.

Bahamas Part II | Rose Island & Video

Our favorite part of the trip was Rose Island! It is a pristine paradise! We took a ferry over with about 30 other people and we were the only ones on the island all day! So we pretty much got our own little island piece of paradise. The offered snorkeling, massages, lunch and kayaks.

Bahamas Part I

We took a break from the winter cold and headed to the Bahamas for a week! It was the first time visiting there for all of us :) It is SO gorgeous and the weather was absolutely perfect the entire trip (minus one rain-shower that lasted for about an hour). All the locals we came across were super nice, too!

Ice Castles

We finally made it to the Ice Castles in New Hampshire! I wanted to go so badly last year, but by the time I found out about it and went online to get tickets they were sold out for the season.

Stratton, Vermont

This is our third year going to the Wanderlust yoga festival in Stratton, Vermont. Dan and I started going snowboarding here pretty much since the beginning of dating, so it makes this place pretty special! It was fun taking Anchor for the first time (last year he was in my belly).

DC Roadtrip

In May we took a road trip down to Georgetown and then to Virginia to visit our friends! It was Anchor's first long car ride (over 7 hours all the way back home from VA, not including stops) and he did great! There were definitely a few times we had to pull over because of a crying fit, but as soon as he got out of that carseat he was completely fine! We made sure to make some big pitstops, and ended up finding some great places! I think it's so important to take breaks on a long road trip.
