I love food. Finding good food is often a huge part of my travel plans and the places we eat can certainly make or break a day’s on vacation. Although my day at Disney World without kids last month was wonderful on its own, the dinner I shared with Caryn from Rockin Mama, Liz from…
I’m Heading Back to CA for Disney/Pixar’s BRAVE and CARS LAND Opening #BraveCarsLandEvent
Yes, the title IS quite a mouthful. I simply couldn’t figure out how to pack so much awesomeness into one small line. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve such an amazing year of travel. Oh! The places I’ve seen! We’re not even halfway through 2012, and already I’ve been to New York City…
Being a Kid for a Day #YesMemory – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
It seems like ages ago that I got back from my trip to San Jose to visit YesVideo’s headquarters, but it really wasn’t that long ago. “Real life” tends to envelop me and make those glorious days of travel seem to be more distant than they really are. I left my memory card with all…
10 Travel Photography Tips
It shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone that photography and traveling are two of my favorite things. Since I’ve had a chance to play tourist in my own area, as well as take several trips already this year, I have had plenty of chances to remind myself of my un-written rules about travel photography….
Smithsonian National Zoological Park – #WW
A few weeks ago, when my brother and sister in law were in town, we spent a day at the National Zoo in nearby Washington DC. The day was perfect, the animals cooperated, and we had a blast. And there were 9 very tired Franklins at the end of the day. What are your favorite…
Makinson Island – A Peaceful Retreat in Kissimmee, Florida
Apparently I’ve been home from my travels long enough to start wanting to go back again. Truthfully, though, I never really wanted to leave Florida in the first place. Last month’s trip to Kissimmee and Disney World was both exhausting and rejuvinating at the same time. Our daily schedule was packed with things to do…
Back in My Hometown – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
What a nostalgic week! I’m currently traveling back from a quick trip to San Jose, California (writing this from the airport as I wait to board my plane). I spent my childhood in San Jose. Although we moved from San Jose when I was 11, we lived less than an hour away and still returned…
The Importance of Pictures in Preserving Memory
After my sophomore year of college, my roommate Susan and I planned a trip to Mexico, just the two of us. I had spent the previous summer on a study abroad in Mexico and I couldn’t wait to return. The summer of 1993 had been full of incredible memories – camping in the jungle, climbing…
10 Reasons To Stay at a Global Resort Home in Orlando
One of my favorite parts of my recent trip to the Orlando/Kissimmee, Florida area was where we stayed. Although we were kept VERY busy all day long, having a comfortable, homey place to return to every night was an unexpected blessing. Two of my house mates and I took advantage of the hot tub each…
Wild Africa Trek at Disney’s Animal Kingdom – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
How do I adequately describe the experience of being taken behind the scenes at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, being led on a three-hour private safari where I was close enough to reach out an touch animals (don’t worry – I didn’t), and enjoying African-inspired delicacies on the savanna? I truly felt transported to another world. I…
