Have the Galapagos Islands always been on your bucket list?

Then the Celebrity Flora is awaiting your arrival! Celebrity Flora℠ , now the first and only resort at sea in the region to receive a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Rating, marks an evolutionary turning point in the approach to ship design—creating a sense of being truly immersed in the destination.

Indulge in the largest and most luxurious accommodations in the Galapagos Islands, where every stateroom is a suite. Dine on delectable menus, curated by a Michelin-starred chef, and allow your Personal Suite Attendant to help you unpack.

We’ve made your Galapagos vacation all-inclusive, making your trip as convenient, relaxing, and memorable as possible.

This 100 passenger luxury mega yacht ensures that your visit to these primitive islands is anything but. Celebrity Cruises’ stunning Celebrity Flora® is the first all-suites, 100-guest ship designed exclusively for sailing these islands, and now it’s the first and only resort at sea in the region to receive a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Rating.

Even better? It has space remaining in 2024 for you! Leave the kids at home (or get them their own suite and bring them along as this incredible experience is available for guests 8 and up!)

The September 1 sailing is not the only one available through the end of the year at this incredible pricing. But hurry, these won't last long. Comment below or message me now and we'll get a quote started for your epic Galapagos Adventure!

Kansas Families!!

School’s Out For SUNFLOWER SUMMER!

Sunflower Summer is a program from Kansas Tourism that offers Kansas families free admission to attractions across the state, throughout the summer.

Each attraction in the program is offered to all Kansas families with students from Pre-K - 12th grade from MAY 25 – AUGUST 11, 2024. Plus, up to two adults are included in each visit!

So, how do we take advantage of the Sunflower Summer Program? It’s simple! Download the app in the App Store or by visiting: sunflowersummer.org

Then get to planning!

Need help putting a weekend (or whole) of exploration fun together? I’m here to help! I can book your hotels along the way and, if you don’t want to have the stress of figuring it all out, I can even create your itinerary for you!

So, how is our family celebrating Dad and Sunflower Summering this Father’s Day weekend? My husband picked some of his most wanted spots to visit over the weekend and then we put our 9 year old’s map reading skills to the test and had him plan out a route from our home in the KC metro to McPherson Kansas where we spent Friday night after the work day was done (old school style, no GPS to guide our way.) This morning, we’re headed to Hutchinson, Kansas to explore Cosmosphere (an incredible space museum that even has the actual Apollo 13 Command Module) and then across town to Stataca (an underground salt mine museum) where we’ll get to explore the museum and enjoy both the Dark Ride and Salt Train all while 650 feet below ground! From there we’ll head on down to Wichita where we’ll celebrate my husband’s amazing fathering with a visit to a local brewery and pizzeria to sample their goods before calling it a night so we’ll be ready for more adventures on Sunday. Sunday morning we’ll be showering Dad with gifts and then spending the morning at the Sedgwick County Zoo (which boasts one of the largest walk through aviaries in the United States) before heading over to Derby to splash and play at Rock River Rapids (an awesome looking community water park complete with multiple slides and a lazy river) and then rounding out our Father’s Day weekend road trip adventure with a visit to Field Station: Dinosaurs (home to 10 acres of dinosaurs from a variety of eras to explore) before heading home exhausted but happy from an incredible weekend together, our family’s favorite way to be.
