Why Kansas City’s the Hot New Spot (Hint: Taylor)
|
Hey there, So, Taylor Swift said yes, and suddenly Kansas City is the center of the universe. While Swifties everywhere are dreaming of wedding dresses and Super Bowl rings, I’m over here thinking… it’s about time Kansas City got some love. Truth? It was one of my most surprising favorite cities. We stayed right downtown at an IHG hotel, explored the Power & Light District (hello, food and live music!), and spent a peaceful afternoon at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. That sculpture garden? Gorgeous. And if you’re into history or culture, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and the American Jazz Museum both blew me away. KC has that perfect blend of artsy, laid-back, and family-friendly — without the big city stress or price tag. I’m actually going back in October, and I already can’t wait. If you’re ready to see what all the hype is about (and maybe get a little Taylor-and-Travis magic for your own crew), now’s the time to start planning. First step? Pick your hotel

Hi friend, If you are staring at your cart thinking, My teen does not need more stuff, you are not alone. When our kids get older, the gifts they remember most are the trips, the experiences, and the moments that feel different from every other day of the year. Not the sweater that went to the back of the closet on December 26. So this year, consider swapping a few “things” for an experience gift that turns into a future trip together. And the best part. None of these ideas needs to be...
Hey friend, If you’re craving a little extra family connection this holiday break, something easy, low-pressure, and actually fun for teens, try making a travel vision board together. We’ve done this for years, and it’s become one of my favorite ways to slow down and dream with my kids. No planning. No budgets. Just everyone tossing ideas on the table and seeing what sparks joy. And honestly? Some of our best trips started this way. My daughter’s graduation trip to Crater Lake. A Costa Rica...
