Sunday Funday… I am so enamored with a Vespa when in Italy 🇮🇹 I had to take a picture every time we saw one…

The first image was from our Mediterranean cruise a couple years ago ..this was at a vineyard on the mountain side of Mt Etna (which you can see in the background) in Sicily .

The others from April - in Tuscany, Montecatini and Rome.

😃

Show me your travel pic favorites!

Alaska changes your perspective.

I’ll never forget having breakfast while completely surrounded by Hubbard Glacier.

Hey parents!

Looking for something DIFFERENT for the kids this summer? 👀

Look no further than the BRAND NEW Universal Kids Resort, Texas opening July 1, 2026 in Frisco, Texas — just about a 7 hour drive from the Jackson metro area!

The hotel has the coolest rooms:
Queen Room: 1 queen and bunk beds
Family Suites: 1 King in separate bedroom and a bunk bed plus sofa bed in living area

The time is now: hotel + ticket packages are NOW ON SALE and there are ONLY 300 onsite hotel rooms. Families are already booking fast for opening summer dates.

This isn’t just a “kids area” inside a park. This ENTIRE resort was built JUST for families with younger kids in mind. They have rides, splash areas, dance parties, interactive play zones, character meet & greets, and themed lands your kids already know and love.

Lands & Highlights:
• Shrek’s Swamp:swampy fun, splash attractions, and Shrek chaos
• Jurassic World Adventure Camp: dinosaurs, coaster fun, and baby dinos
• SpongeBob’s Bikini Bottom: yes… Bikini Bottom brought to life!
• Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club: wild Minion mayhem and water fun

• 1.5 Day (ask me about THIS option because I think it may be the sweet spot 👀)

If your kids are in that sweet spot age for Minions, SpongeBob, Trolls, or Gabby’s Dollhouse… this could easily become THE family trip of the summer.

Cool Kid Summer 2026 at Disney World is bringing some BIG updates and there are some exciting things coming back, some brand new experiences, and at least one change that Disney fans have definitely been debating.

Swipe through for the highlights:

Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin returns with refreshed updates

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad finally reopens after its extended 18-month refurbishment

Soarin' Across America returns in time for America's 250th celebration

Bluey gets a brand new interactive live show at Animal Kingdom

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster reopens with The Muppets and The Electric Mayhem taking over

Jessie's Roundup brings a new interactive Toy Story experience to Magic Kingdom

A few tips to remember:

• Bluey is NOT a meet-and-greet. It is an interactive live show experience.

• You'll need to take the Wildlife Express Train to Conservation Station at the back of Animal Kingdom. This area still gets missed by so many guests.

• Disney is opening Bluey with a Virtual Queue, so don't plan on simply walking up.

• I may be most curious about the Muppets takeover of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. Disney fans definitely have opinions on this one and I cannot wait to see how it turns out.

Which one are you most excited about?

A trip to Disney World can seem overwhelming, there's where I shine! It costs you nothing more for me to make sure you don't miss a thing,.

Let's get your Cool Kids Summer vacation booked! Summer 2026 is booking up - don't wait!

BIG NEWS! Italy is happening!

I’m so excited to officially announce my hosted group trip for Spring 2027: Splendors of Italy!

After returning from Italy recently, I knew one thing almost immediately... I wanted to go back. I fell in love with Tuscany, the scenery, the food, and especially Montecatini, one of those charming little towns that completely surprises you and steals your heart.

And this time? We’re adding even more Italy magic. Venice is included! Canal views, wandering through hidden streets and piazzas, and yes... a gondola ride is absolutely happening.

I cannot wait to return to Italy and experience this incredible journey with a group.

Details and interest list are live below:

Italy is one of those destinations that lives in your imagination long before you ever step foot there. The ancient ruins of Rome. Rolling vineyards in Tusca...
