The Ellen Show: Meeting Ellen and the JONAS BROTHERS!
When I tell people, “I met Ellen Degeneres and the Jonas Brothers,” I don’t think I even believe it myself! Every time someone asks about my experience at The Ellen Show, I have to pinch myself because it was so surreal. This blog post is an attempt at keeping the memories as real as possible for years to come. Continue reading
Thanksgiving in NYC
Last year, Jared surprised me with a trip to New York City for Thanksgiving so I could check off one of the top items on my bucket list – seeing the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in person! Continue reading
Pocket-Sized Disney Essentials
One of the absolute worst parts of going to Disney is the bag check. The lines are so long and crowded. Every time I go through bag check, I gaze longingly at the deserted Guests Without Bags gate that only boyfriends and dads ever seem to go through. I decided to do something about that and challenged myself to do a day at Disney without a bag – no purse, no backpack, not even a fanny pack. Continue reading
Dining Destinations: The Polynesian’s Kona Cafe
Breakfast at the Polynesian’s Kona Cafe has been on my Disney bucket list for years so when I was making reservations for my birthday weekend at Disney, Kona Cafe was the first thing I booked!
Disney in a Boot
I had the misfortune of breaking my foot two weeks before I was supposed to spend my birthday weekend at Disney, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me! In fact, I spent the Wednesday before my birthday weekend at Disney too. Thanks to Grandma’s wheelchair and some very generous people pushing me, I was able to enjoy Disney as if I were walking around instead of rolling. Continue reading
Run, Princess, Run!
My mom and I are not runners – at all. We actually hate running. However, it has been our goal to complete the Disney Princess 5K, 10K, and Half Marathons together at some point in our lives. The problem is, we missed the deadline to sign up every year for the past three years…accident or no? I’m not really sure. Continue reading
Italian Dressing
Before I get in to all the clothes I packed to spend a month in Italy, can we just appreciate the cleverness of the title for this post and the fact that I crack up laughing every time I read it or think about it?
Alright, now that that’s out of the way, I wanted to share with you one of the biggest struggles in prepping to spend a month in Italy – what to pack! Continue reading
Study Abroad Sickness
The first two weeks of study abroad were great, but week three hit everyone hard. It seemed like half our group got sick, including myself. Week four, everyone who wasn’t sick week three got sick from their friends/roommates who were sick the week before. It was awful being sick and having to miss out on some of the beauty of Italy so here’s a little of what I went through and some tips for being sick while traveling abroad. Continue reading
The Ruins and the Villain
In the same weekend, I toured the ruins of Pompeii and hiked to the summit of Mt. Vesuvius. I got to experience firsthand the destruction the volcano caused and then faced it head on, peering into its gaping crater. Continue reading
The Blue Grotto: Capri’s Hidden Treasure
I may have been sick our whole weekend in Sorrento and Capri, but one thing I didn’t miss out on was our excursion into the Blue Grotto, which is famous for only being accessible during peak conditions of low tides and calm seas. Continue reading
You want a PISA me?
One of the main attractions that comes to mind when most people think of Italy is the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The iconic “holding up the tower” photos are on every tourist’s bucket list so of course it was one of our must-sees as well. Continue reading
