October 2016:

Interested in traveling this fall? Your family will love Springfield, Missouri! @usfg #travelsfg

Come visit the Springfield Visitors Center at:

815 E St Louis St #100
Springfield, MO 65806
(800) 678-8767
My little guy, mother and myself were lucky enough to be selected to travel to Springfield and experience the city during the month of October 2016. This city has so much to do, and we had an amazing time bouncing from place to place. The travel to Springfield (6 hours) was an adventure itself with many stops along the way and areas of interest.

We arrived to our hotel fairly early and were greeted by the friendly staffed who had no issues checking us into a room ahead of time at the Days Inn Springfield (621 W Sunshine Springfield, MO 65807).  The hotel itself was located conveniently in the center off all attractions and the room was clean and large enough for our family! Also, continental breakfast and a pool/hot tub were some great perks!

Luquillo Fly Board Puerto Rico #Bucketlist #Review #TravelBlogger


Luquillo Fly Board is unique in Puerto Rico as it's the only available Fly Boarding company on the island. And on top this it's location is beyond phenomenal as it's located at one of the top beaches in Puerto Rico. If you are looking for a calm beach with beautiful scenery be sure to check out Luquillo Beach.



With that being said I'm going to get to business and tell you about our experience with Luquillo Fly Board as well a introduce you to this sport. A Flyboard is a type of water jetpack/hoverboard that is attached to a personal water craft. In many cases a jet ski is used to supply propulsion to drive the Flyboard through air and water to perform a sport known as flyboarding. The Flyboard rider stands straight up on a board which is connected by a long hose to a watercraft. Water is then forced under pressure to a pair of boots with jet nozzles underneath which then provide thrust for the rider to fly up to 49ft in the air.

Aqua Adventure (Puerto Rico): SNUBA® diving review.

Puerto Rico, part of the Caribbean and an unincorporated U.S. territory offers some amazing views and great thrills. Recently, the boyfriend and I had the opportunity to travel to Puerto Rico and enjoy a week in the sun. Puerto Rico, offers a great selection of beautiful white-sand beaches and a few of the popular activities for this region are snorkeling, diving, surfing and sailing.



 Aqua Adventures PR worked with us in arranging a SNUBA® session that lasted an hour at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in exchange for this review.  This Caribe Hilton, is the perfect location for SNUBA® diving and offers a wonderful shallow dive cove. No boat is utilized to move to another location and the tour cost $79.00 + sales tax per person. All towels and gear are included. And on top of this, the wonderful SNUBA® instructor will capture your experience in digital format and send the photos to you via Dropbox.

Maquoketa Caves with a toddler (photos). #travel #familytravel 

  Artifacts such as pottery, as well as tools and projectile points made of stone have been found in the caves and surrounding area. These discoveries tell us that the Maquoketa Caves area has been a popular spot for hundreds of years, perhaps thousands of years. Early recorded history tells of the Native Americans in the area, and that they were likely visitors to the Raccoon Creek valleys. From the discovery of the caves in the 1830's by settlers until the present, the park has been a place to view the special beauty that nature has to offer.

Beautiful milk white stalactites once hung from the ceilings and stalagmites rose from the floor. Souvenir hunters have robbed the caves of this rare beauty, but many formations remain.
















Maquoketa Caves is probably Iowa's most unique state park. Its caves, limestone formations and rugged bluffs provide visitors a chance to "step back" into geological time thousands of years. Caves vary from the 1,100' Dancehall Cave with walkways and lighting system to Dugout Cave. The remaining caves are all different sizes and shapes. Some can be explored by walking while others can best be seen by crawling. In any case, a flashlight and old clothes and shoes are most helpful.


VEGAS PUB CRAWLER, the ultimate pub crawl in Downtown Las Vegas that is on a big bike. #Review 


Vegas, is a destination I tend to visit several times a year. It never gets old and always has a new adventure awaiting. VEGAS PUB CRAWLER, offered myself and a guest the time of our lives filled with music and laughter while meeting other individuals on the same mission to have a little fun while visiting Sin City! This is the ultimate pub crawl and is perfect for bachelor/bachelorette  parties, birthday parties, weddings and corporate events. 


With over ten pubs to choose from and the option of bringing your own music the Vegas Pub Crawler is a great fun way to do a pub crawl in Downtown Las Vegas and get to see some of the city besides what's on the strip. The downtown cycle pub is a great idea that fits perfectly into the new downtown bar district.With the opportunity to book anywhere from two hours to the whole night the possibilities are endless. This cycle can hold anywhere from six to fifteen friends for an unforgettable adventure.

Dick's Last Resort at the Excalibur in Las Vegas. 

Dick's Last Resort, also known as 'The Shame O' The Strip' in Las Vegas offered a very eventful and  memorable dining experience while visiting SinCity. Well known for their rowdy wait staff and zanny decor. The staff at Dick's Last Resort are beyond hilarious and if you tend to be easily offended I wouldn't recommend going. With live music on the weekends and happy hour from 3-5pm. This let-loose atmosphere is the ultimate place to kick back and enjoy a few laughs on the house.



If you dare, allow the waitstaff at Dick's Last Resort to personalize a fashionably foolish paper hat that's guaranteed to not only make your friends laugh at you but yourself later when you have the opportunity to take a look. Over the years, I've seen others photos at Dick's Last Resort and I've always wanted to join in on the fun. Emily, at Dick's Last Resorted offered Dinner on Dick's which included: one appetizer, two entrees, two nonalcoholic beverages, and two delicious desserts on the house.

Universal Studios Hollywood is one of the most popular attractions in the Los Angeles area which features rides and amusements based on some of the most popular scene and characters from film and television. If thrills are you thing, there are plenty of hair-raising rides and coasters. Welcoming hoards of tourist each day I'd highly suggest purchasing the Front of Line passes for $149 (Save $10 online). A one day ticket will run you $85 (Save $10 online). A family excursion to Universal Studios
doesn't come cheap.

We jumped in the car and headed towards Carlsbad, CA for some family fun time at the LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA. We've never been here before and Aiden's mentioned for quite some time that' he'd like to visit. When I received the official invite I was beyond thrilled and had to share the news with my Lego loving son. Aiden was ecstatic and couldn't wait if only this reaction were caught on video. I have to admit I was almost as excited as Aiden because I honestly had no idea what to expect. Once we entered the park's entrance, I knew we were going to have a great day!
