Dear Buc-ee's,
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee because you have all the drink choices a mom could ask for, including coffee (and ALLLLLL the add-ins anyone could ever want ever), 12 flavors of...
The first year that my husband and I were away from our families for the holidays — he was a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina — we decided to travel back home to Jacksonville. We drove over...
Until recently, Atlanta was not a destination we have ventured to as a family. Just a five-hour road trip from Jacksonville, you can leave in the morning and still have plenty of time left in the day to explore...
Ahoy, me hearties! Come along as we chase the booty! Seriously, though, who doesn’t enjoy talking like a pirate and having an excuse to act silly? You know you do! In the oldest city in America, there is plenty...

In December, we took our 7-year-old son to Costa Rica. It was his first time out of the country and he was excited to get his first stamp in his shiny, new passport. This was the first time leaving...
There is no doubt that being a working mom comes with its own set of victories and struggles. My wife and I both work full-time, demanding jobs, and there are multiple schedules to juggle, pickups to coordinate, and kid...
We are a family who loves to travel. Local or international, weekend getaways or week-long adventures. We're in for it all. The memories are priceless, and the chance to escape the distractions of day-to-day life can help reset and...
