Best Swimming Spots
We both grew up in the water, spending our summers on Cape Cod and the Jersey Shore. Stumbling upon new swimming spots always excites us, so we’ve started a list of our favorite places to cool off!

Favorite Meals
We love to eat, but we are not much into fine dining and do not have fancy taste. Here’s a list of our favorite meals around the world.
Coolest Places We’ve Stayed
We love to find unique places to stay when traveling, and we prefer to avoid hotels whenever possible. Here are some of our favorites!
Favorite Natural Wonders and Scenic Views
Here’s a list of the most stunning places we have visited so far in our travels!
Favorite Museums & Historic Sites
Some sites made the list because they are fun and full of happy memories for us. Others are on here because they teach hard but important truths about history and how humans have treated each other in this country and around the world.
Times Square Through My Kids Eyes
They want to go to New York City. Not museums. Not a festival of some kind. Not a show. Not a historic tour.

And then it happened: it was like it just clicked. Every kid, on their own, found something that peaked their interest. Some were skipping rocks, others just sitting and enjoying the view, some looking at the small bugs and fish they could find, and others trying to balance on logs.
Sharing Alliot Grilled Cheeses
After three years of teaching the same group of students, St. Mike’s hadn’t just become this legendary place to me, but for many of my students, too. They had heard endless stories about the place, had earned tons of SMC swag in my classroom, and had even met some of the people from my stories when they came to visit me. This led me and Sarah to decide to offer a spring break trip for students to visit the Northeast, with St. Mike’s being the big attraction.
Red Chilli Ride
There was no one else in the world besides me, Sarah, and the cool breeze on my face as we rode through an empty city feeling the freedom of our young existence in a foreign country. Possibilities were endless, our love infinite, and the smiles on our faces miles long… or at least that’s the feeling I get when I remember it.
Swimming with Manatees
I have a deep and unwavering love for manatees. Many people don’t even know what manatees are, and those who do usually find them to be unattractive. I can’t explain why I love them, but I always have.
