    Why Adventure Science Center in Nashville Is a Must-Visit for Families

    We’re always on the lookout for kid-friendly things to do in Nashville for when we head there to hang with family and the Adventure Science Center did NOT disappoint on our last visit. This museum encourages kids to touch, build, create, launch, and explore. We’ve been to a lot of science museums and this is definitely one of the best.

    Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp: A Sobering Day Trip from Berlin

    History leaves scars, and some places wear them more visibly than others. As a child, my 6th-grade history lessons were filled with stories of World War II, but understanding the depth of its horrors was impossible at that age. I was taught right from wrong, yet the sheer scale of the atrocities defied comprehension. The “why” seemed unfathomable when the “how” was so disturbingly clear. In 8th grade, I traveled to Europe and visited a concentration camp. The experience was overwhelming, a grotesque and haunting confrontation with the past. I remember thinking, How could anything like this have happened when the evidence of its horrors was laid out so plainly…

    The Felt Estate In Holland, Michigan Is A Historical Gem & A Beautiful Wedding Venue

    Spring in Holland, Michigan, is something truly special. The tulips bloom, the lake air is crisp, and the small-town charm comes alive in a way that makes you want to explore every hidden corner. I had traveled to Holland (from European Holland) for my cousin’s wedding, expecting a beautiful ceremony near Lake Michigan, but didn’t anticipate learning about the beautiful and historical Felt Estate. Toss in some swans, a Northern lights appearance, and the weekend was downright magical. Should you find The Felt Estate? Yes, and here’s why: (This post contains affiliate links, which means I receive a certain percentage of a sale if you purchase after clicking at no…

    Why the Stedelijk Museum Should Be on Your Amsterdam Itinerary

    We love museums, especially art museums so spending a day in Amsterdam, for us, had to include a stop at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Modern and contemporary art is not always easy to love—but it sure is fascinating. If you’re looking for what to do in Amsterdam or things to do in Amsterdam, and you have an appreciation for creativity and bold artistic expression, this museum should be on your list. While some pieces left me completely enthralled, others had me scratching my head, wondering what exactly I was looking at. And yet, that’s the beauty of the Stedelijk. It’s unpredictable, bold, and unapologetically modern. Get ready to explore one…

    Prague Old Town Square: 9 Buildings That Have Stories To Tell

    I first visited Prague in the Czech Republic when I was in middle school. A part of a choir trip to Europe, one of the few but striking memories I kept was of Prague’s Old Town Square, or Staromák. Founded in the 12th century, it’s vibrant and historic, colorful and enchanting, and everywhere you look, there’s a story ready to be told. Back again 20 years later and I wanted to look deeper and learn more about the square, of course to enjoy the ticking and tocking of the Astronomical Clock, but also to discover what the paintings and facades really meant.

    Wittenberg, a charming German city near the Elbe River, isn’t on most travelers’ radars. Known as the birthplace of the Protestant Reformation, Wittenberg invites visitors to stroll the cobble stone while learning about how Martin Luther forever changed the church. While I wouldn’t call myself a religion-focused traveler, Europe’s history is so deeply intertwined with religious events that understanding them is essential to grasping the broader historical context. If you’re looking for a great daytrip from Berlin to a city with a stunning effect on history, Wittenberg is definitely calling your name.

    Planning a trip to Paris on a budget while keeping it fun and manageable for the whole family? That was our mission. I was going to title this a budget-friendly family-friendly Paris itinerary, but two “friendlies” seemed a bit repetitive when discussing Paris, France. Jokes aside, my daughter and husband aren’t exactly as go-get-’em as I am when we travel, so I was determined to avoid spending money on big entrance fees if there was a chance they’d want to leave within an hour. With that in mind, I can confidently say this is the ultimate family-friendly, budget-conscious 3 days in Paris to catch the highlights in a more money…
