🦍🐆🦓🦥 If you’ve not been to the Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens recently, you’re definitely missing out! The new manatee enclosure is finally open!!! It’s beautiful, thoughtful, and can now hold / rehabilitate 20 sea cows at the same time. Highly recommend taking the time to make a visit and support our local zoo and their mission!💙

Bucket list: Touch a glacier✔️
Special bonus: Drinking the freshest, coldest, most amazing water straight from the source🧊

We got to visit one of the filming locations from the Game of Thrones series, use baby crampons, hike up to an ice cave inside the 4th largest glacier in Iceland (Mýrdalsjökull), and drink freshest glacier water! . .

Bucket list: Hike up a volcano 🌋 ✔️
Bonus surprise: Boiling hotdogs over a vent for a snack at the top😋

We hiked the Red Loop after landing in country. Jet lag? Absolutely… but nothing that a brisk 3k hike up the side of a mountain can’t fix!🤪 . .

Epic Universe at Universal Orlando is… you guessed it… EPIC!😱🤯

Each of the worlds are so thoroughly planned and the theming is so detailed. The rides are all so fun (the Mario Cart & Wolf Man rides are next level!) and innovative!

Highly recommend at least a 2 Day ticket because there’s far too much to do & see in just a day🤪 Pro Tip: Staying at Universal Helios Grand Hotel was 😚👌🏼 . .

Spain’s street art game is on point!🇪🇸😚👌🏼

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love seeing all the thoughtful & creative ways people express themselves everywhere we travel and badass street art is definitely one of those art forms that do it form me. I’m also a big fan of recycled / repurposed metal art sculpture and all forms of live music! We followed the music one evening in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona and were rewarded with a beautiful violin performance. It was truly something to behold! . .

Montserrat, Spain [Dos] 🇪🇸

The Monastery at Montserrat is also known for housing the statue of The Black Madonna or Our Lady of Montserrat (“La Moreneta”, meaning The Little Dark One). This 12th-century Romanesque sculpture is a symbol of Catalan identity and a revered icon, drawing pilgrims for its spiritual significance, healing powers, and views of the surrounding landscape.

She has become of symbol and focal point of Catalan identity - especially during the Spanish Civil War, during which 22 monks of the abbey were killed. Visitors can touch the exposed hand of the statue for blessings and can light a candle along the Cami de l’Ave Maria. What an experience! . .

Montserrat, Spain [Uno] 🇪🇸

Montserrat, or “jagged mountain”, is a mountainous natural park near Barcelona, famous for its unique jagged peaks, the historic Benedictine monastery, and stunning views. The monastery is also known for housing the revered image of the Virgin of Montserrat, a Black Madonna.

We booked a tour and went on a half-day hiking tour of this amazingly beautiful area. We started at the top of the mountain and worked our way down, stopping along the way to greet those walking as part of their pilgrimage to this holy place and take in the stunning views. Worth every penny! . .

Barcelona - Basílica de la Sagrada Família [Dos] 🇪🇸

The most epic, unfinished Catholic church in the world!🤯 Designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) that’s still under construction almost 150 later. It is by far the most fascinating, intricate, & thoughtfully planned out church I’ve ever seen, where every. single. thing you see has meaning - from the positioning of the walls, to the scenes & design depicted in sculptures, and even the pieces / color of the stained glass. This is a bucket list, must-see, not to be missed landmark when visiting the region!
