Day 4: My last day in Chicago
My flight isn’t until this evening so I’m headed downtown to see if I can hang out at Riverwalk. It’s pretty much the only thing I haven’t gotten to see yet that I wanted to, and that’s probably all I will have time for today anyways. There’s a bus at 9:12 coming so I wake… Continue reading Day 4: My last day in Chicago
Day 3: Art, Fields, and Views!
Nowadays I don’t get as many steps in as I’d like to and given that I walked nearly 9 miles yesterday, my body is feeling it. However, it was blissful to be able to somewhat sleep in (until 8am) after such a long day. Today wasn’t as packed full of things to do as yesterday,… Continue reading Day 3: Art, Fields, and Views!
Day 2: Bean There, Done That
After about 5 hours of sleep, I was up and at ‘em getting ready to take on downtown Chicago! I was hoping to be getting to Cloud Gate aka The Bean early morning/sunrise to try and beat the crowd, but did not account for a one hour commute to the city via public transit so… Continue reading Day 2: Bean There, Done That
Day 1: Nervous, but ready to go!
We’re back for this years New Year New Place trip, and this time, we’re going to Chicago! If you don’t know what New Year New Place is, I made a goal when I was 20 to try and go somewhere new each year. So far I’ve done it every year since, and I always blog… Continue reading Day 1: Nervous, but ready to go!
Shelly’s Next Adventure Is…
I recently announced to my Instagram that Shelly, the young girl from two of my children's books, was going on her next adventure! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I published my first book Shelly Goes to Summer Camp in December 2020. Shelly goes to a sleepaway camp for the first time… Continue reading Shelly’s Next Adventure Is…
Day 4: Going Home
Today was our last day in Atlanta 😦 Since my sisters are driving back to Florida, they didn’t want to get home too late, so we didn’t have much planned. We packed up our bags, and checked out of our hotel this morning. We decided we wanted to go to Waffle House for breakfast and… Continue reading Day 4: Going Home
Day 3: Coke and Edibles
And by coke, I mean the Coke Museum! 😉 Since Coke was first sold in Atlanta, it would make sense why their museum would be here. It was very cool to be able to see how it evolved from being used as a drug (probably why people are so addicted) and is now arguably the… Continue reading Day 3: Coke and Edibles
Day 2: The Fun Stuff
Once we woke up this morning, we were on our way to the Georgia Aquarium - after stopping at Dunkin of course. If you read my blog yesterday, you know this was the #1 thing I was looking forward to - and I was so excited! I am the kind of person who thinks going… Continue reading Day 2: The Fun Stuff
Day 1: Made it to Atlanta!
If you've been following my blogs, specifically my traveling ones, you know my Day 1's typically are disastrous, or at least the opposite of what was planned. Recently, though, they haven't been as bad. I think that means I'm either getting the hang of it or my luck has started to turn! My New Year… Continue reading Day 1: Made it to Atlanta!
