A few weeks ago we took a family vacation to Amelia Island! If you haven’t heard of Amelia Island before, it’s located just off the coast of Northeast Florida. Its about a 5 1/2 hour drive from Atlanta and is located about 45 minutes from Jacksonville. Amelia Island is a quaint little Barrier Island with 13 miles of beautiful beaches, abundant native wildlife, and pristine waters. We stayed at the Seaside Amelia Inn, which is one of only four beachside…
Grab the kids and head to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel this fall for some ghoulish, family fun! Tom and I decided to take a little weekend getaway to Nashville last weekend and we stayed at our favorite hotel, the Gaylord Opryland. We went without the kids this time, but after seeing all the family activities they had for their fall event, Goblins and Giggles, we wish would have brought them along! September 11th-October 31st, the Gaylord is celebrating Halloween for…
I partnered with Holiday Inn Resort, Jekyll Island on this sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are of my own. We recently had the opportunity to stay at The Holiday Inn Resort Jekyll Island and we had a wonderful time! Jekyll Island is only about a 5.5 hour drive from Atlanta, so it was the perfect amount of time to be in a car with a 4 year old and a 11 month old baby (if you know what I…
Last week we were given the opportunity to visit the King & Prince Resort in St. Simons Island. This was our first trip with Sydney, so I wanted to go somewhere that was relatively close to see how the car ride would go. St. Simons Island is about 4 1/2 hours from Atlanta, so the drive wasn’t bad at all! (Of course when you’re traveling with a 4 year old and an 8 month old baby, it ends up being…
With our baby girl’s due date quickly approaching, my husband and I decided to take a mini trip to the beach (all by ourselves!) before we become a family of 4!? We knew we wanted to go to the beach, but I also wanted to keep our drive under the seven hour mark from Atlanta (being almost 30 weeks preggo, I really wanted to keep my car time to a minimum!) Since neither one of us had ever been to…
I was invited as media to cover this event. All opinions are my own. Choosing to take your family to Orlando, Florida can be quite overwhelming. Which parks should you go to? Where should you stay? And if you have a toddler, the most important question is, how easy will it be for me to access the parks from my hotel? (especially if your little one is still taking naps) The DoubleTree By Hilton Orlando SeaWorld Resort helps simplify your…
This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of The City of Brookhaven; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. Last weekend we had the opportunity to attend the annual Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival! This was our first time attending, so I wanted to share our wonderful experience with you. As we entered the city of Brookhaven, we started to see a ton of free parking lots designated for the festival that had shuttles running back and…
This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of The City of Brookhaven; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. Spring is in the air, and for fellow ATLiens that can only mean one thing; It’s festival season! Atlanta always has an amazing line-up of festivals each year and the Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival is the first to top the list next weekend on March 24th and March 25th! The Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival appeals to all…
Our trip to the Sheraton Bay Point in Panama City Beach Florida was really so amazing, I don’t even know where to start. Let’s start with what you probably thought of when I just said “Panama City Beach.” I can tell you what I thought of when I heard those words; Spring Break 2001. Being from the south, Panama City Beach was always a spring break destination throughout my high school and college years and let’s just say I…
My husband and I took a weekend road trip a few weeks ago to Nashville, Tennessee. Nashville is only about a four hour drive from Atlanta, so it was fun to just get away for a few days (alone!) and not have to go too far. We had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful Gaylord Opryland Resort and visit the hotel during their SummerFest celebration which runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day and features Lewis Carroll’s Adventures of…
