Had the best time on our little Valentine’s staycation.

We really take for granted how great Chattanooga is! I planned an easy weekend away with a stay at The Hotel Chalet in one of the updated Chattanooga Choo Choo train cars, cooking class with Sweet and Savory Classroom, meals at some fun and yummy spots, and a tour of the Chattanooga Whiskey Distillery.

With all our responsibilities at home, it has made extended vacations with long travel days less desirable. Even just a small, close to home retreat from it all is much needed and enjoyed! ♥️

Paris/London Tips

We barely scratched the surface of both London and Paris. I definitely underestimated how hard the time change would be. A rest day, or even a scheduled morning to sleep in would have been a good idea.

Things we learned:
-Book tickets EARLY. I’ve been working on this trip for about 8-9 months and still some things sold out before I could purchase tickets.

-We used Uber to get around, but once we saw how fast and affordable the train was, I regretted using Uber so much.

-In Paris, We stayed right next to the train station, which made transfer to Disney super easy (see the post about Disney tips)

-Plan a full day for Palace of Versailles. It’s quite far from the city, and there is so much to see. Bring snacks and drinks with you, because options are limited there. I had planned to do The Catacombs the evening of the same day, but couldn’t get tickets- and am so glad I couldn’t! It was a long day.

-Rent a golf cart at Palace of Versailles to see the gardens, restaurants, and to get to the Queen’s Hamlet. There is a short walk to that, but it was worth it.

-Do a private Seine River Cruise. It was more pricey than the large boats, but honestly it was the best way to see the sights and avoid the crowds.

-Be prepared for crowds of people. So many people. This was really stressful for me, and made it hard for me personally to enjoy a lot of the things we did. The earlier you can start the day, the better.

-Plan for extra time to get everywhere in both cities. Things are all pretty close together, but with traffic, traveling takes forever!

Disneyland Paris Tips
Part 2

-Two rides that are exclusive to Paris are Crush’s Coaster and Avenger’s Flight Force. The kids tricked me into Crush’s Coaster because it looked like a kids ride, but I almost died 🤣 I chickened out of Flight Force but the kids said it was crazy.

-You can purchase a glass of champagne at the end of Main Street and you get to keep the cute souvenir glasses!

-You can purchase a reserved viewing spot for nightly fireworks. I missed out on this, but would recommend it. The crowd was crazy, but we were still able to get a great view, and it was my favorite part of the whole trip.

-There didn’t seem to be as many photo pass options, that may have been because it was so hot. I always like taking advantage of these in the states, so we had to wait until we heard people speaking English and ask them to snap a pic for us.

-Food in the parks wasn’t that great. We do recommend the hotel breakfast buffet because it was so easy. Chez Remy had the cutest theming, and books up very quickly, so grab that one for sure. One of our favorite places to eat was Annette’s Diner in Disney Village.

-Being Marvel lovers, we LOVED the Art of Marvel Hotel! It’s the second closest hotel to the parks and is an easy walk through Disney Village to both parks. Disneyland Hotel is right at the entrance to both parks.

Disney Paris Tips
Part 1

-Disneyland Paris felt similar to California, and while we loved it, it’s our 3rd favorite Disney Park so far.

-The smaller size makes it really easy to navigate in a just a couple days.

-One major difference is when you book a Disney hotel, you get entrance to the parks each night that you have booked- you don’t have to buy separate tickets. Since we arrived mid day, we were able to go straight into the park and get our bearings before our first full day. Also, both parks are included and close so you can go back and forth easily.

-For fast passes, they offer a premier access pass. We opted to do this only one day which worked out perfect. We were able to ride all the most popular rides with essentially no wait in both parks. Simply scan your pass, one time for each included ride, and walk right to the front-no scheduled queue.

-Staying on property gets you an extra magic hour before other guests enter the parks-and we didn’t even use this-both because we were too tired, but we also didn’t really need it.

-if you are traveling from Paris to the parks, you can take the RER train line (about 25-30 minute ride). With the express baggage option, you can drop your bags right at the train station and go directly into the parks. Disney will deliver your bags to your room and text you with your room number. It was SO easy!

2024 was a blur, mostly of work! Ty and I spent most of our alone “getaway” time at the retreat working on the newest cabin. We did squeeze in a few adventures for both us and the fam this year ♥️

Wishing you a year of new adventures and memories in 2025!

The goal of this trip was to hit all the NE states in 5 nights while keeping the driving to as close to 3ish hours as possible per day (for our poor chauffeur, Ty).

It’s really hard to be away from my dogs and the retreat for any longer, so we knew we were packing a lot into a short time. We’ve been so busy, I didn’t plan out this trip as much as I usually do.

While we are still stuck at the airport, I posted our actual itinerary, but here’s what we learned and would have done differently!

1. We would have stayed the first night in Bar Harbor. We didn’t have enough time to explore the area and it was so foggy our first day, we missed a lot. Would love to stay at the adorable Salt Cottages.

2. One day in Salem is plenty. I chose the most popular 2 hour walking tour on TripAdvisor. It’s the luck of the draw with tour guides, but 2 hours was too long for us with the guide we had.

3. We stopped at Ocean House Hotel for lunch in Watch Hill, RI. It was stunning! I wish we would have stayed a night (more would be wonderful) at Ocean House or at a private beach rental in Westerly. It was the cutest town, and I’d love to explore more.

4. The SURFSIDE Hotel in CT was a cute little retro beach hotel. Be sure to book one of the 4 rooms with a rooftop deck. It’s directly on the ocean, and a great spot to enjoy the beach without getting in the sand!

5. NH was pass through state. I’m sure there are lots of wonderful things to see and do there, but we were on a tight schedule.

6. I would have rather done a night in Rhode Island over 2 nights in Boston. I regret the most that we didn’t stay in Watch Hill! It was my favorite! In Boston, I’d recommend a bus tour of some kind. There was so much walking and lots of tourists.

Now everyone pray we make it home today!

We loved our weekend getaway to Tents at Ramsden Lake 🫶✨

Located in Stone Mountain, Georgia, Ramsden Lake has 10 unique sites that provide a unique glamping experience.

It’s the perfect place to go when you want to feel like “roughing it” a little.

We stayed in site #3- The Dogwood Tent Cabin. It had a cozy bed, air conditioning, claw foot tub, outdoor shower 🙌🏻, and a beautiful private view of the lake.

Also be sure to visit for dinner while you are in town. It’s was absolutely delicious and a great date spot!

The last spot on our mini TX getaway was our favorite. It had several amenities we have never seen before in a rental…a fabulous adjustable bed, a ceiling water feature, and a remote operated smart toilet!

All 4 walls were mirrored glass which made for amazing views. We also really enjoyed the projector in the evenings.

Be sure to try the delicious Bayview restaurant next door during your stay at

Stop 2 was a fun one!

is located just outside Marble Falls, TX about an hour away from Austin. They offer several different accommodations, and we chose our favorite two to wrap up our little market research trip. We enjoy traveling to many different types of getaways to see what others offer as far as amenities and hospitality, so we can bring back all the best ideas for

Wings cabin was very unique! All 4 sides raise up at the push of a button so you can take in the surroundings.

First stop of our Texas market research trip was in Hondo at Twisted Horns Ridge.

Basically, drive 2.5 hours from the Austin airport out into the middle of nowhere, then drive a little further 🤪

It was nice to not see another soul during our 1-night stay. We always look for places with a view from the bed, and this place checked that box.

They have several different rental options on their remote ranch. It was a fun spot to start our trip!

This past weekend we had the opportunity to stay at The Silo at Gene Acres 🐴

It was a great family weekend of rest, food, and a little antique shopping in downtown Ringgold.

The unique silo sleeps 4 with a full kitchen, 1.5 baths, hot tub and firepit area.

Definitely check it out for a fun little family getaway!

The second excursion was an ATV ride through the rainforest and villages to Rainmaker Park with Four Trax Adventure Tours. We drove through a beautiful tropical setting and palm forests, through water and through towns. We stopped for a snack and short hike to a beautiful waterfall to cool off, then back for a traditional Costa Rican meal.

I didn’t get many pictures since I was busy enjoying the ride. This was my favorite tour because we were able to see parts of Costa Rica you would miss out on by staying at a resort.
