Disney – Photopass- Is it worth it?
Is it worth adding the Photopass to your Disney trip or annual pass? I’ll let the photos from the last 8 years of being Walt Disney World Passholders speak for themselves…
St Pete – Vintage Marché Vintage Market – New Location
If you know me, you know I have always been a bit obsessed with mid-century modern design, clothing, decor, and more, and am basically in love with everything from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. Luckily our city of St. Pete, FL has an incredible monthly Vintage Market that we first attended and wrote about back in 2021. A little over a year ago they moved from their original location on Second Ave South to a brand new space across town – so we had to check it out!
Pinellas Park – Oktoberfest 2021
The Pinellas Park Oktoberfest is hosted by The German American Society of Pinellas County and has been voted “Best of the Bay” for being “Tampa Bay’s most authentic Oktoberfest”!!! Finally, a festival that made us feel like we were home and it’s practically in our backyard!
St Pete – SHINE Mural Festival
We love our city!! I want to bring focus to one of the most inspiring events in our city each year – The SHINE Mural Festival in St. Pete, Florida.
Disney – Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival
Epcot has some of the most beautiful, flavorful and inspiring festivals in the world – pun intended! We’ve already shared how much we love the Festival of the Arts at Epcot, but another festival we try not to miss is the International Flower and Garden Festival.By far one of my favorite events to walk the entire park taking photos while eating and drinking around the World Showcase! Check out my photos from the 2023 event!

Florida Travel – Kennedy Space Center Visit 2021
Before I Disney you all to death – I’m catching up on so many things that I never took the time to write about and share over the last few years… I thought I would dig back into the archives of my iPhone and see what other treasures I could find and share. I’ll do my best to mix it up for you weirdos that aren’t Disney obsessed like us!
It led me all the way back to September of 2021 when Mark and I spent the day over on the Space Coast exploring the Kennedy Space Center -NASA for the very first time.
Disney- Birthday Spectacular 2023 – Coronado Springs Resort – Sangria University
