Cape May Fun!
The kids were going to get another Tuesday off so I thought, why not see if we can get to another hotel on our list. After reviewing the list of hotels, I saw Congress Hall at a great price, so I made the reservation (Sunday-Tuesday) and off we went. Congress Hall in Cape May, N.J.,…

Argentina/Uruguay Vacation – Part 2
After days of sightseeing in Buenos Aires we took a boat and bus ride to Punta Del Este, Uruguay. To get there I booked both means of transit through Buquebus and the total ride was about 4.5 hours (1 hour boat, 3.5 hours bus). The buses are very comfortable, air-conditioned buses with bathroom but Tip:…

Stop 2: Honolulu, HI
Our next stop was the Royal Hawaiian in Honolulu. This hotel definitely gave more resort vibes than the many high-rise hotels along the beach. A beautiful hotel with activities going on all day. This part of the trip we chose to keep lower key (not so many activities), so we could enjoy the beach and…

Stop 1: San Diego, CA
As the first part of our 2-hotel tour on the west coast, we stayed at the U.S. Grant, located in downtown San Diego. To prep for this trip I once again purchased GoCity passes to save $ on attractions. SeaWorld and San Diego Zoo alone cost more than the passes, and we planned on doing…

Off to Charm City
So, with added extra days to Memorial Day because winter was so mild, we needed to figure out what to do with the kids. Choices for hotel were either Vermont or Maryland, but nightly rates made our choice for us; and choosing to leave Sunday and return Tuesday made driving easier traffic-wise. The Lord Baltimore…

It’s race weekend!
After training for 4 months the time finally came…Race day…Those 13.1 miles are in my rear view now but glad I met the challenge. We drove to D.C. to stay at our next iconic hotel, Intercontinental The Willard, which was only a few blocks from the starting line (super convenient). Cars and parking, we learned,…
