Do you ever absolutely hate planning trips or vacations? I can't relate. No really, I absolutely love planning things, especially vacations. Schedules make me geek out – even in college, I'd help all my friends come up with their class schedules because the puzzling and moving and planning is my absolute favorite thing. I also [...]
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, near Knoxville, TN is the most visited national park in the U.S. Not sure if they're counting people or bears, but either way, we were looking forward to exploring it on a beautiful fall weekend. This park is also very large, so a long hike to see and explore as [...]

The peninsula where the small city is situated had everything that I could ask for as a 22-year old [...]
We spent a summer living in Boston and traveling across New England, so making recommendations for a weekend on the east coast brings us back to a lot of fun memories. We thought we'd kick off a series on our weekends in New England and how to make the most of them. First up: the [...]
