Your Itinerary to Visit Lake Tahoe in the Winter & Why You’ll Love it

October 23, 2025

Lake Tahoe is a special place that doesn’t get the love it deserves. Sure, it’s popular but I think it’s one of the best natural vacation spots in the states. If you haven’t been, you definitely need to add visit Lake Tahoe to your list. The best part is that you can visit Lake Tahoe in the summer, fall, spring, or even the winter, and there’s not a lot of places where this rings true. We visited the area in the winter and it was wonderful. It’s less crowded but so beautiful and well worth it. Our trip was over Thanksgiving and I’d definitely go back during this time.

5 Amazing Towns in France to Visit That Aren’t Paris

September 18, 2025

I absolutely love Paris. I’m not one of these people who think it’s overrated. I think it’s great. The first time I went, my expectations were very low. Everyone told me that it was dirty, the people were rude and that I would hate it. I didn’t. I loved it. I definitely support anyone wanting to go to Paris, it’s a must do. However, there’s a lot of other places to see in France that I also loved. So go to Paris, but go to these towns in France too. This post may contain affiliate links.

September 9, 2025

We recently took a trip to South Dakota and when I told people we were going to South Dakota they all asked why. And I’ll tell you why: because I hadn’t been there.

We flew into Denver (from Texas), drove through Rocky Mountain National Park, through Nebraska, and then spent 5 nights in Rapid City in order to see all the surrounding areas. On this trip we saw so many things, and I’m gonna break it all down for you below but before we get to that, here’s a handy list to help you.

Everything You Need to Know Before Visiting Garner State Park

August 28, 2025

Garner State Park is a gem in the Texas Hill Country. If you want classic rolling hills and river time, then this is the place you need to go. As an added bonus, they have dance parties!

It’s one of the nicest rivers in Texas and a great place to cool off in the hot summer months in Texas.
