Much like most of my other travel guides, this one begins with a cheap flight. Poking around Google Flights one evening (as I’m often prone to do after a glass of wine…) revealed an inexpensive roundtrip flight from Greensboro to O’Hare – departing early one Saturday morning and returning late the following evening. Driving to …
I can’t tell you how much of a relief it was to pack for the Twin Cities. With a record-breaking heat wave at home (we were already in triple-digit temperatures in May), the forecast in Minnesota (highs in the 70s, lows in the 50s) looked absolutely dreamy.

The Twin Cities have been on my list for a really long time. The art, fashion, and food scenes are thriving and the ease of access to nature within the metro area is utterly appealing (in fact, I warned Michael before we visited to watch out – we might just leave with a desire to …
Sharing everything I packed in my carry-on for a weekend in St. Louis, Missouri Well, Michael and I finally made it to St. Louis, Missouri, and we did so in celebration of our tenth dating anniversary at that. With only thirty hours in the city we had no excuse but to pack lightly – which …
St. Louis, Missouri (AKA The Gateway City). It’s a place that has been on my travel list for quite some time, yet Michael and I didn’t solidify our plans to visit until less than a week before departure. Even without the time to plan a truly thorough itinerary, the city booms with culture and is …

This is the second entry in a three-day recap of a trip to Kansas City, Missouri. Missed Day One? Find it here. DAY TWO MORNING Our second day in Kansas City started later than many of our days while traveling as there’s not much to do early in the morning on Sundays. Eventually, we worked …
Recapping my first day in Kansas City, Missouri “Wait, it’s in Missouri?” Michael asked. “Yes,” I replied. “But it’s called Kansas City!” “Well, it’s in Kansas, too.” (This went on for several minutes before pulling out a map). Michael and I were searching for hotels for a Labor Day weekend trip, which we’d booked only …
My birthday was a few weeks ago, and since it was on a Sunday I wanted to take advantage of the occasion and get away for the weekend. As I always do, I scouted some potential flights on Google Flights – and when it came time to choose the destination, Michael suggested picking the city …
