Over the course of the last few days, I was honored to have lunch with the Vice President of Universal Parks and Resorts as well as their Director of Travel Agency Sales, Regional Sales Manager and Senior Director of Sales with HX/Hurtigruten, the Senior Vice President of Sales and the Director of Sales for Royal Caribbean, as well as meet with many other vendors from all inclusives to cruises to safaris. Building these unique relationships helps me so that I can bring YOU the very best for your family’s vacations.

Last night I took a night tour of the monuments around DC. This is something I always recommend to anyone visiting the nations capital. It has been over 10 years since I’ve visited and this tour was everything I could hope for. It was incredibly moving and renewed my love for this city.

Yesterday was a fantastic day of learning and meeting new vendors! I’m looking forward to more of the same today. Plus a bit of extra fun tonight!

Your kids may not remember their first Disney trip but you will. 💕

⭐️ Luke was 18 months old when he first went to Disneyland Paris.
⭐️ Liam was 11 months old on his first trip to Disneyland followed by a Disney cruise.
⭐️ Leia was 3 months old during her first trip to Disney’s Vero Beach Resort followed by Walt Disney World.

The character interactions were some of the best we ever experienced. Disney characters LOVE babies and toddlers!! 👶🏼 These trips are as much for the parents as they are for the kids. As much as I adore traveling with them as big kids and experiencing all the new things they get to do as they get bigger, you never get that FIRST TRIP back.

Take the trip. Even if you think they’re too little to remember it. You’ll treasure the memories forever. ❤️

Next February, my sister and I are FINALLY participating in our first RunDisney race! 🏃‍♀️ This is something we've always wanted to do and we're so excited to be doing it together!

We are running as part of the Kellsie's Hope Foundation Team. Last weekend I was able to donate my time during the conference I attended and help Kellsie’s Hope prep for their biggest fundraiser. Every year, they host the Trees of Hope gala during the holiday season so my agency got to work fluffing trees and prepping ornaments! 🎄

Kellsie's Hope mission is to provide hope to families that have children suffering from cancer by offering support for trips and gifts that might otherwise be unattainable. Every child deserves the chance to grow, play, and dream. I’ve seen too many of my friends face this challenge and I want to do my part to give back!

Please join me in making that dream a reality. Thank you for supporting Kellsie's Hope and for making a difference in the lives of children battling cancer. 🎗️🎗️🎗️

I'm fundraising for Kellsie's Hope Foundation. It's an amazing organization. Everybody please check out my campaign! Find out more and donate here: https://igfn.us/vf/KHFSparkle/team/LindseyandAshleys5k

We spent the last several days at French Lick Resort in Indiana. We chose this location in order to see the eclipse in totality but this resort has also been on my list for a long time so I was excited to finally get there! For my local peeps, French Lick is only about 5.5 hours from home so this makes for a wonderful weekend getaway!

The resort is made up of 3 unique hotels: French Lick Springs Hotel, West Baden Springs Hotel, and Valley Tower Hotel. Valley Tower was just built a few years ago but the other 2 were built in the mid-1800s and the West Baden Springs Hotel is a National Historic Landmark!

They have plenty to offer from multiple spas, pools, activity center for the kids, kids club, horseback riding, hiking, 3 golf courses, casino, a bowling alley, and even drive in movies! I was even more impressed than I expected!

This resort is great for an adult trip or a family weekend. I can guarantee I’ll be back to this little piece of paradise in southern Indiana!

Flashback to the solar eclipse in 2017! 🌞 🌖
I traveled with my parents to Southern Illinois to see it that time. We are on the road to Indiana today to hopefully see it again! The weather isn’t looking great so I really hope it cooperates for us and the clouds stay away! 2017 was EPIC. I can’t even describe how amazing it was to see the eclipse in the path of totality. If you’re near it, don’t miss it!!!
