We’re skipping a wish list post this week to focus on something that I’ve been working on for awhile. What I’m packing for Europe on Monday! The catch? How I’m going to fit everything into a carry-on and personal item for a 12 day trip. With the help of you guys on IG, I ordered myself and Justin entirely new luggage and I think we’re up for the challenge.

If I’m being honest, I’m actually excited and sort of relieved that we’re just taking carry-ons because a) it’s less of a hassle when we’re hopping from train to train and b) it requires that I actually think through my outfits and not just throw a bunch of stuff in a suitcase without a plan.

Woohoo, two travel posts within a few months of each other! I’m on a roll. You can read and explore more of our travels by clicking here.

A few weeks ago we embarked on my first journey to Hawaii! Because our last few trips involved races and a fast-pace lifestyle, we thought it’d be enjoyable to make our next trip a slow-paced, tropical one. Insert Maui! I had so much fun exploring a new part of the United States and soaking up the sun.

Okay, don’t judge me. I had every intention to get this post up within a few weeks of our recent trip to New York in May, but better late than never! Truth be told, I’ve never been great at taking photos while on vacation so I don’t have nearly as many pictures to share as I wish I did. But, I wanted to share what I DO have and list a few of our favorite places/restaurants we visited while we were there.

Hey everyone, welcome back! It’s been a hot minute since I last talked about travel (#COVID), but today I’ve got a short post about Sun Valley, ID for you guys! I’ve lived in Boise, ID for 24 years and had never visited Sun Valley until this past weekend. It’s absolutely breathtaking, and I now understand why it’s a destination for so many people (celebrities included).

If you missed my Insta post from Sunday, I mentioned that over half of Justin and I’s travels involve golf tournaments, this one included!

Happy Earth Day, friends! I’m pretty sure I’ve never acknowledged Earth Day in my entire life, but not being able to explore the earth right now makes me reminisce on our past travels.  As I was going through my photos for today’s post, I couldn’t help but smile as I remembered each and every trip that these pictures are from. It’s only been a couple months since our last trip, but it seems like an eternity!

Welcome back to my blog! Today’s post is about our quick, weekend getaway to San Diego, CA this past weekend. Justin and I always try to book “want to get away” flights whenever we have long weekends, and that’s exactly what this little vacay was! Keep scrolling to read about our trip with some photos mixed in between.

*(I’ll link as many places and clothing items as I can!)

LA JOLLA

Justin has been to the San Diego area numerous times, but this was only my second time.
