Lake Baldwin Park {Florida}

Lake Baldwin Park {Florida}

We discovered our all time favorite park this last weekend. Located in Winter Park (just outside of Orlando) is Lake Baldwin Park. This park has everything- walking trails, picnic areas, playground, and best of all a massive dog park. There are 20 or so acres of off leash fun for dogs and families alike. The [...]

Yellow Dog Eats Restaurant {Florida}

We discovered a fantastic place to eat called Yellow Dog Eats. This cool, hip, eclectic restaurant can be found in a historic home and the atmosphere is so open that it does feel like you are eating at a friends house. There are tables and drink bars tucked in everywhere inside and outside. The food [...]

The Crayola Experience {Florida}

Who doesn't love Crayola? They are pretty much the best when it comes to art projects. And the Crayola Experience is hands down one of the greatest things we have done in Florida. They give kids the opportunity to discover a world of art and techniques. Of course they have coloring pages everywhere and crayons [...]

American Girl Store {Florida}

We went on a mommy/daughter date to the American Girl Store. We started out in the cafe where the hostess asked if we had a doll with us or if we would like to borrow one for our meal. We borrowed a doll and a doll seat that sat at the table. The silverware was [...]

Mead Botanical Garden {Florida}

Mead Botanical Garden {Florida}

We spent the morning enjoying the fresh air at the botanical garden in Winter Park. Just a little ways north of Orlando, this offered a pleasant break from the hustle and bustle of the themepark area. There were a number of different trails to walk along a lake, down a boardwalk, through a meditation garden, [...]

Hey, I'm Meg and I'm so glad you stopped by! Here I hope to share some of the places around the states and around the world that I am discovering. I have found that the best moments traveling happen on accident when I least expect them or when they are nothing like what I imagined them to be...in short when they are a bit of a midadventure. So come along and find some misadventures with me!

"It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."

We visited the incredible Knights and Armor exhibit at @fristartmuseum today. So amazing to see the detail and the artistry of the armor pieces. This look back in time was a wonderful way to spend the day. Hot day hiking at the beautiful Burgess Falls State Park. Even in 100 degree heat, the views are totally woth it. Summer days are made for family, music, and wine and @arringtonvineyards is the place to be. Delicious assortment of house made wines and the music of various artists on the breeze, a great mix of the wine country feel with the welcoming southern charm. Nothing better than a good road trip! Up one coast and down the other with all the roads in between- here are some of my favorite spots across the country Ive seen from the road. Where will your next road trip take you? Words of Wednesday: {Michigan} Just off the shores of Lake Michigan is the charming town of Holland. Dutch immigrants came here and remains one of the countrys largest populations of those with Dutch heritage. And the best place to see the culture they are so proud to be a part of is at the @windmillislandgardens with their original windmill. {Tennessee} When you discover that your city in the middle of Tennessee has a Laotian Buddhist Temple. Such beautiful artistry in the building and such quiet devotion of the monks who care for it. {Indiana} Exploring a lesser known national park offers a really special experience and Indiana Dunes National Park did not disappoint. Found on the shoreline of Lake Michigan, this park is a beautiful mix of lush greens, the steely blue waters of the lake, and the changing dunes of sand. What a treasure of a place. {Israel} That one time I got to ride a camel through the desert. I was off to a rough start when my camel didnt want me to get on. Then the next camel was a singing sensation. šŸ‡®šŸ‡± {Tennessee} Summer is here and the state parks are calling. Spent the day at one our favorite places-Fall Creek Falls State Park. With an invigorating hike down to the bottom of the falls and a swim in the water. A perfect day! @fallcreekfallspark
