Today marks 4 years since my dad left us earthside.

Since then, my mom and sisters have made it a tradition to celebrate the anniversary of his passing in a different city each year. We’ve come to call it “Daddy’s Day.” This year, he would have been 81, and we chose to be in Boston—the city where he was born and raised.

We feel him with us everywhere we go, whether we’re together as a family or each of us is living our own lives. ✨

We miss him immensely—his incredibly intelligent mind, his steady and patient presence, his calmness no matter what life brought, his dry humor and sarcasm, and the way he never wavered in his responsibility as a father and husband. He was a true family man—completely dependable, always putting everyone else before himself. ♥️

Dad was happiest when we were all together. He’d always be the first one at the door when we pulled into the garage, ready to greet us. I miss his bear hugs more than I can say. I miss his advice, the kind that quietly made everything feel a little more manageable.

I am so proud to be his daughter, and I hope he’s proud of us too—of how far we’ve come, what we’ve built, and the people we’ve grown into along the way.

We love you and miss you, Daddy, today and every day, and we hold onto the hope that we’ll be reunited as a family one day. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

It’s a wrap! 🎬 The Day We Travel’s week-long Michigan tour through both the Lower and Upper Peninsulas is officially in the books. This was another wonderful small-group journey with guests from California, Missouri, and Texas.

Highlights included a walking tour of Grand Rapids, a visit to its beautiful downtown market and food hall, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, the USS Silversides Submarine Museum, and the Muskegon Museum of Art. We also explored the iconic Sleeping Bear Dunes, traveled through the Cherry Capital of the World, enjoyed wine tasting on Old Mission Peninsula, and visited Petoskey and Charlevoix.

One of the biggest highlights was our day on Mackinac Island, featuring a carriage island tour followed by an all-you-can-eat luxury buffet at the historic Grand Hotel. 🍴🦐🦪🥩🥂

Other unforgettable moments included a private wine 🍷 tasting at a family-owned winery during their day off, Tahquamenon Falls, the Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point, and visits to four different lighthouses. We laid eyes on 3 of the 5 Great Lakes, shared endless laughs, and bonded so incredibly well throughout the week.

We also shared many wonderful group meals throughout the tour, including a delicious farm-to-table welcome dinner at a Scandinavian-inspired restaurant in Grand Rapids. It was incredibly special to have a couple of local Michiganders join us that evening, along with a wonderful couple who drove in from Ohio just to attend the dinner with our group. We wrapped up the tour with a fun and tasty farewell dinner with entertainment at a local Italian restaurant — I honestly don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard at a farewell dinner! 🤣

And a lovely shoutout to the other two local Michigander couples who had me join them for dinner while I was in Grand Rapids. Always so good to see you! You guys are the sweetest! 🥰

It was also especially meaningful for me to reunite and work again with my wonderful driver friend Teresa, whom I’ve known since 2015 from our days leading tours together in Los Angeles. She also drove for me last year during my Austin, TX tour. 💕

With a healthy mix of privately guided tours and self-guided exploration, everyone left feeling enchanted by the beauty and charm of Michigan — even with cooler weather than anticipated!

I truly love receiving handwritten cards from tour guests. These thoughtful notes were especially sweet and such a meaningful reminder of why I love what I do. I’m grateful for every guest I get to travel with and for the connections and memories we create along the way. 💛

My group and I had just turned into the driveway when my company name suddenly appeared on the marquee at Castle Farms.

It felt like magic — the timing was so perfect.

Such an unexpectedly sweet and exciting moment, and such a thoughtful welcome. 😍

Day 1 is in the books!

Our Welcome Dinner at a beautiful, modern, family-owned Scandinavian-inspired farm-to-table restaurant was a huge hit with my guests.

Everything was locally sourced and made from scratch, and we enjoyed an incredible three-course meal beginning with a seasonal spring salad, followed by mains of flank steak, wood-fired Lake Superior walleye, and mushroom risotto, then ending the evening with four different desserts. Every bite was delicious. 😋

Some of my guests had fun sampling one another’s dishes, and I even got to have Teresa, my driver friend, try some new foods! 😅

The service was relaxed yet attentive, and everyone had such a wonderful time getting to know one another.

This right here is one of my absolute favorite parts of organizing a tour: researching unique dinner venues, supporting local businesses, embracing farm-to-table dining with seasonal menus, and creating space for connection, laughter, and new memories to be made. Truly priceless. 🙌🏻🥂
