Honeymoon Travel: Italy

Our honeymoon cruise took us to two ports in Italy--Venice and Bari. Venice was a very popular port for people joining and leaving the cruise--I would say the majority of passengers actually began and ended there. We had looked at doing the same but flying in and out of Italy was nearly twice the cost …

Honeymoon Travel: Turkey

I have wanted to visit Turkey for a long time. When we started thinking about our honeymoon, I really thought we should go to Turkey and Greece. They are close to one another, it would be a great blend of history and culture but also beach and relaxation. However, when I started to look into …

I am still reeling from the most amazing bridal shower a girl could ask for. All our family and friends came together for one big shower to celebrate only a couple of months from the big day. I would be lying if I said I wasn't overwhelmed pretty much the whole time. I didn't feel …

Local Adventures: Cleveland’s West Side

You may recall I made a commitment to exploring my own backyard through a series of planned 'local adventures.' I would like to say I just had a great deal of initiative to learn more about Northeast Ohio (which has turned out to be much more interesting that you might think!), but in reality we've …
