After winning a bid on Walt Disney World Park Hopper passes at a local auction, my family and I took a couple of months to plan our first Disney vacation. In the article Walt Disney World Park Hopper Passes: Are They Worth It?, you can see how we used our opportunity to park hop.

7. 4 Kid-Friendly Places in Downtown Nashville
Even though I grew up in Nashville, returning and exploring the area with two children was an entirely new experience. In my article 4 Kid-Friendly Places in Downtown Nashville, I share my journey from downtown Nashville to MidTown. Although downtown Nashville might be known for its honky tonk nightlife, it is also a kid-friendly location that offers much for the whole family. With the help of my parents, I discovered places I didn’t even know existed (a playground behind the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge) and revisited some of the hip, up and coming places (the Gulch), during a fun summer getaway.

10. Travel Tuesday: A Day In New York City
Travel Tuesday: A Day In New York City is one of my favorites. Although I briefly lived in New York City for some internships in college, I hadn’t been back since then. Now that I live within a driving distance, it was incredible to spend one entire day walking around the city. From Central Park to Gramercy Park, my husband and I spent less than 24 hours dining on incredible food, seeing a show, and sightseeing. With over five miles of a self-led walking tour, we discovered some fantastic places well worth seeing.
