This is one of my favorite itineraries for Chicago. The Gold Coast/Old Town area is chic and happening. This girls weekend is a plan fit for any type of Spring weather, offering trendy restaurants, group workouts, shopping locations and a comedy show.
Looking for a unique twist on a Chicago date weekend? Enter Wicker Park, Bucktown and Logan Square, a hub for the creative types which leaves room for exploring and adventuring through coffee shops, book stores and boutiques. Go on walks and take a cooking class! Who doesn’t like mixing up date night?
Granada has a charm like no other. Seville provides rich history, a cinematic feel and authentic Spanish vibes. And Barcelona is vacation GOALS. It has something for everyone. Beach? Winery? Shopping? Foodie dinners? Authentic markets? Check, check, check!
In addition to experiencing the Windy City’s cold weather, there is plenty to do to keep you warm and running around: fantastic restaurants, cozy bars, Chicago’s Broadway, ice skating and more! If you do get a gentle snowfall, it really is a magical sight with the city lights.
It was a beautiful day in July when we planned to hike Mist Trail for a 7 mile round trip climb at Yosemite National Park. The boys carried the backpacks with the sandwiches, snacks, waters and sunscreens. The girls carried the phones for incredible photo opportunities!
If your group is looking for adventure and relaxation, this itinerary will work for you! My active and wine-forward family fit into both molds, allowing us to enjoy the differences between Sonoma’s wine country and Yosemite’s nature valley. California, here you come!
Beach vacation at its finest! No shoes, no shirts, no problem. Cape Cod was filled with beach days, lobster rolls and clam bakes. Cocktails were made with breakfast and served next to the nighttime bonfire. It was 5 o’clock somewhere, especially for our group of “Buzzin Cuzzins”.
Our first European vacation together. The perfect mix of romance in Paris, relaxation in Bruges and fun in Amsterdam. In Paris, we loved walking the streets and finding cafes. In Bruges, we fell in love. In Amsterdam, we went without much of a plan if you can believe that!
Two weeks of phenomenal memories with great friends, as we adventured thru the UK and Ireland. Ireland is filled with friendly people, green countryside and pints of Guinness. London… wow! So much to do in so little time. The Isle of Skye in Scotland is a fairy tale!
