Home Away From Home

How do you book a vacation?  Do you pick a place then search online for good flight and hotel deals?  Me too- until a year ago. The first time we rented someone’s private apartment was last October in Cannes, France. … Continue reading

Jason and I went to Sea World today.  We had so much fun!  The seals and sea lions were my favorites.  We were able to get so close and they had so much personality!  Plus, aren’t they just adorable?  I … Continue reading
