Cities with winding canals just beg for a boat ride, and we gave into that temptation in Ghent. Sure, it may be touristy, but experiencing Ghent with a view from the water brings a new personality to the city. We had some down time the...
Ghent is the capital city of the province of East Flanders, and is about a half hour train ride from both Bruges and Brussels. I know I've said it before, but I love the city of Ghent. We spent a few days hopping around Belgium,...
Ghent: a completely unexpected gem in the middle of Belgium. Originally, we were planning on only stopping in Bruges and Brussels, to get a quick taste of Belgium, but the more I read about Ghent, the more intrigued I became, and I knew we just...
Warm, cozy and homey are the three words that come to mind when thinking about Hotel Malleberg in Bruges, Belgium. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would go back again in a heartbeat. Hotel Malleberg is not a grand luxury hotel, but I think it's...
Keeping up with the Belgium theme, I just wanted to quick share a photo of this tiny little car, if you will, in Bruges, for this week's #FriFotos theme: Cars. I think this car is so cute, yet a little funny, all in one! Enjoy...

In my mind, a home revolves around the people and place, more than a physical house. There are two areas that will always be considered home to me: Florida and Minnesota. The two states are vastly different, and I love both of them for different...
Bruges is such a beautiful, charming town--it is so picture perfect, we kept saying it looks like a town you would find inside of a snow globe! After a few mishaps on our train ride from Paris and then getting lost walking to the center...
It's been a little quiet around here lately--I've been in the process of changing my hosting and have been trying to sort everything out. Thanks for bearing with me! It's already Friday, so I think it's time to feature another photo! This week's #FriFotos theme...
We recently spent an ice filled weekend in Minneapolis with our good friends Rob and Steph. I'm not sure where my obsession came from, but I had a strong urge to seek out ice related activities. Perhaps it was because I haven't had a snowy...
Boat tours are around every corner in Florida, but your ride can vary greatly from one boat to another, even when you are exploring the same area. The Star Island and Fisher Island areas in Miami's Biscayne Bay, are popular spots for obvious reasons--the island's...
