Jekyll Island, Georgia
The Beach While not the clearest of water or breeziest of beaches, Jekyll fulfilled our family’s checklist of what we hope to gain out of a beach vacation. There was reading and snacking and fishing and napping. Best of all, our little Addie J was oozing with enthusiasm for swimming in the waves and digging…

Austin, Texas
Austin was a city of constant conversation with my subconscious. “How did we get here?” You booked two tickets, found an Airbnb, and made dinner reservations in record time. “But trips never come together that quickly.” Well, you were a bit tipsy. Oh, now it makes sense. Austin was a city of pivoting and pivoting…

Our family is long-time gulf coast beachgoers. In the early days, it was Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. In the recent years, we visited about every beach on the renowned-30A highway.

B&B’s lend themselves to personal touches and making your stay feel like visiting a family member or friend, and Justine…

Time at the beach passes in a strange way. You only notice you’ve been out for eight hours when you see that your shady spot has shifted significantly. This undeveloped beach is familiar for us. $10 to get in, thirteen boardwalks to choose from, and ‘watch out for nudists’ signs appear as you get closer…

A love letter to Miami, Your streets are beaming with vibrancy and echoing with cultural diversity. Your languages are being spoken and translated and listened to with pride. Your lunch spot in Little Havana, Sanguich, and its chicharrónes are unmatched. Your rush hour traffic is fast-paced and intense, but while we were racing through your…
