Vacation Inspiration
Wondering where to go next? Start here. I’ve ticked many must-sees off my list. Some of the trips were epic; others, overrated. And many under-the-radar destinations are more interesting than those that get all the press. Here’s where to go, what to do and tips you need to know.
Will there be an uptick in #gardentravel after the proposal? 💍 One to put on your list is @kasteelkeukenhof, famous for its massive spring tulip display. 🌷But they also host a lovely and FREE dahlia celebration in late summer. Another wonderful reason to visit Amsterdam.

Every 5 years, Amsterdam welcomes thousands of water vessels to its port, including majestic Tall Ships. ⛵️ ⚓️ We watched the sail-in parade @lowlanderbarandrestaurant - great lunch, warm sunshine and cold, low and no alcohol brews. And we made a new friend too. #sail2025 #unitedbywaves

Flew down to The Triangle for a quick family visit. It was fun to explore places beyond the college campuses we toured on previous trips. 🎓✈️ Our best discovery? The Umstead Hotel, a sophisticated boutique property in Cary, North Carolina.
The art-filled public spaces are bathed in light. Poolside food and beverage service made it hard to leave my shady lounger. And huge, lakefront rooms feature special touches like evening turndown service.
Our weekend getaway felt much more like an indulgent retreat. My only regret? I didn’t get to book any spa time. Totally a reason to return. 😉 Link in bio to my complete review of this 5-star escape.

An Amsterdam afternoon spent sipping a cup of rooibos tea and nibbling a bite-size carrot cake @rose_and_vanilla is a delightful Dutch treat.
