Fish by Jose Andres

On our first night in the Bahamas, we ate at Fish by Jose Andres. This restaurant was in The Cove, the hotel we reserved for our entire visit. I love the decor, the food, and the service in this restaurant. I also loved the convenience of it being in the hotel....

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

When I was in New York years ago, the Empire State Building was the attraction of tourists. There are still many tourists who want to experience the Empire State Building, but SUMMIT is the best thing, in my opinion, for kids. The Empire State Building does have a lot...

Miraval Resort & Spa, Part II

I participated in some activities (other than the spa) while at Miraval. We went hiking if you can believe that.  If you come to Miraval and you are not a local, you need to go hiking or do some of the other outdoor activities.  Matt has always wanted to go...

High Museum of Art Atlanta

The family and I took a detour during our vacation and decided to stop in Atlanta to see the Obama Portraits at the High Museum of Art. We stayed at the Ritz, which was amazing. The kids loved the room service and enjoyed their koala bear pancakes for breakfast. After...

Annunciation New Orleans

I always have a great time when I'm in Louisiana, especially in New Orleans. My dear friend Kiley was born and raised in New Orleans, and she always has a great recommendation for good food when I'm in town. We met in undergrad at Southern University in Baton Rouge....

Junior’s Cheesecake NYC

New York is known for its cheesecake, and at the forefront of the cheesecake craze is Junior's cheesecake. We took a 5-7 minute walk from our hotel to Junior's. We met Matt's cousin, her husband, and their daughters there for lunch. It's a great spot to eat before or...

Southern Pearl Oyster House

During my trip to my alma mater, Southern University, my friends from Huntsville, Alabama met my family at Southern Pearl Oyster House, a restaurant in Baton Rouge. I lived in Baton Rouge for 16 years, but this was a new restaurant that I had not visited. It was...

San Diego

I spent some quality time in San Diego with my family, and we had a blast hanging out together.  Although this was the first Mother's Day without my beautiful mom, it wasn't a sad day at all.  I just thanked God for the family He has given me, cherished...

Battery Park NYC

We had enough time in New York to visit beautiful Battery Park with the kids. Bryant Park is located less than a five-minute walk from The Knickerbocker, and Battery Park was about a 15-minute ride on the subway from our hotel. If you don't want to go over to see the...

VRBO at Amelia Island

Friends, you already know where I love to rest my head when I leave town. Yes, I love the Ritz Carlton, but this time, it was just not the best option for me and my family. We were going to be visiting the island for 5 days. Five days in a confined space with two kids...
