• So You Want To Visit…Disney World (Reimagined)

  

  It has been over two years since I wrote my original Disney World blog. A lot has changed since then, so I figured it was time to “reimagine” my advice. A lot of my previous recommendations stand, so feel free to take a look. But I do have some updates in here you might find…

• So You Want To Visit…Hocking Hills

  

  We have visited Hocking Hills more times than I can count, and I feel like we have done “almost” everything there is to do. I feel pretty confident providing recommendations since we have experienced so much. I hope if you ever find yourself in Ohio, you’ll spend some time in Hocking Hills and check out…

• 2024 Travel Bucket List

  

  PCS years make it tricky to plan any big vacations. We decided to focus on saying goodbye to some of our favorite places in Ohio and Kentucky, then exploring our new home in New York and the surrounding states.

• Ohio Might Be The Best Place In The World To Live

  

  I never wanted to move here, but I can genuinely say I never want to leave. If by some miracle the army let us stay, I’d be the happiest girl in the world. This might be strange to you — after all, it’s OHIO. And if you’ve never been here, you probably are thinking all…

• So You Want To Visit…The Big Island of Hawaii

  

  After a very long time, Hawaii finally started to open back up and allow tourism again after the pandemic. Of course, we got over there as soon as they eased restrictions, and spent two wonderful weeks split between Oahu and the Big Island. We started and ended the trip on Oahu, flew to the Big…

• So You Want To Visit…San Francisco

  

  Before working for OpenVPN, I had only ever visited California once as a young kid. Now that I work for a company headquartered there, I get more opportunities to visit. Since HQ is right near San Francisco, my coworkers and I always try to extend our work trips to allow for some quality time as…

• So You Want To Visit…The Finger Lakes

  

  I was fortunate to spend a good chunk of my childhood in the gorgeous New York Finger Lakes. I lived just down the road from Seneca Lake for over a decade, in a charming little village called Dundee. I consider myself incredibly blessed to have grown up there.  In this region, there are eleven lakes,…

• So You Want To Visit…Williamsburg

  

  Virginia is the place where life keeps taking me back. My family lives in Virginia Beach, and Dave and I were stationed in the Richmond area two separate times. There is a possibility we will end up living in the state again in the future — and even if we don’t ever get stationed there…

• So You Want To Visit…Honolulu

  

  Ahhh. Hawaii. Need I say more? We are very fortunate to have two dear friends that are currently stationed in Honolulu, and they graciously entertain us whenever we are over that way. Hawaii is already a dreamy paradise, and having them there is like icing on the cake. I’m so grateful we have had multiple…

• So You Want To Visit…Anchorage

  

  Alaska is such a special place to me. For three straight years, I spent a ton of time just outside Anchorage learning how to fly planes and perform aircraft maintenance — and I got to help out with Bible camps north of the Arctic Circle. I miss Alaska every single day, and I really hope…
