    5 must visit places in Myrtle Beach South Carolina

    October 20, 2019 - By 

    I went to Myrtle Beach South Carolina for the first time ever in my life. Which is really odd if you live in the south, because everyone goes there a few times a year. Like if I want to go to a beach, I’m going to Topsail on the NC coast, where I have family. However for my friend, Heather’s birthday we went for a girl’s weekend. Now there’s only a gift shop on like every corner, but there’s only one you need to go to. It’s like this one never ends, there were so many awesome things in this…

    July 17, 2018 - By 

    While we were on the way back to Delaware from our trip to Kentucky, we decided to actually stop by the Natural Bridge State Resort Park this time instead of just passing this on the highway. My husband had went several times as a child and wanted our kids to experience this as well.  I have to say, this is one of the most breathtaking views I have ever seen and it makes it even better that I got to share this with my children.  There were several hotel/motel options around the resort but we decided on the Lodge that is…

    Plan The Best Birthday Ever At Central Park FunLand

    October 8, 2016 - By 

    When we lived in Central Virginia – going to Central Park FunLand in Fredericksburg, VA was our favorite place to take the kids. I figured since we were going up for the weekend, it would be the perfect place to take the kids for Jr’s 9th birthday bash. Fun Land was established in 1997, one of the first entertainment venues in the Central Park shopping complex, now part of Celebrate Virginia.  Occupying over 7 acres, Fun Land featured outdoor rides and attractions such as mini golf, go-karts and batting cages during it’s first season of operation.  Soon after, the 40,000 square foot indoor facility was added, making Fun Land…

    I was going to my first Yule Ball at Black Cat in Washington DC with friends. So here’s what a day trip looks like in Washington DC to kill time before the show. We also made it to Arlington Cemetery as well. All of these things are free to do, the only thing we paid for was the metro. There were two main reasons to check out Georgetown, VA.
