If you’re about to join the masses and travel this week, don’t forget to do these 5 things before you go:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Tell your credit card companies and bank your travel plans. Doing this will help to avoid having your transactions declined due to suspicious card activities.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Check your smoke detectors to make sure they are working.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Put interior lights on a timer. This helps to give the appearance that someone is at home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Leave your itinerary with family. This will help to ensure that folks know how to reach you in an emergency.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Check all of your windows to make sure they are closed and locked.

I love history which is why we explore the history

I love history which is why we explore the history of the destinations we visit. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But for our kids, the world is a playground. While they played on the lawn of the Governor's Palace in Colonial Williamsburg. I was surprised to discover that they had questions on the way home. It seems they were listening and during the Paradox of Freedom guided tour. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So, even though sometimes it seems like they're just playing -- THEY'RE TOTALLY LISTENING AND LEARNING!

Here’s a look inside the Lodge at Ashford Castle

Here’s a look inside the Lodge at Ashford Castle.

While in County Mayo, I stayed at the Lodge next to the famed Ashford Castle, which was once the home of the Guinness Family. The Lodge at Ashford is the 19th Century Celtic lodge/home of the Castle’s estate manager.

How to spend 24 Hours in Memphis! ⁠We took a day

How to spend 24 Hours in Memphis! ⁠We took a day trip to Memphis during our 8-day Nashville vacay. Here’s a quick list of things to do in a day in Memphis: (LIKE, SAVE & SHARE)⁠
⁠
1. Stax Records Museum: As a music 🎶 loving ⁠family, we couldn’t visit Memphis without ⁠stopping by Stax AKA Soulville USA, to see where so much of our ⁠favorite music was created. We had a ball ⁠singing along with classic R&B tunes that played over the speakers as we strolled ⁠through the museum. Some of Stax more famous artists include: Otis Redding, Isaac ⁠Hayes, The Staple Singers, and Sam & Dave.⁠ It costs $13 for adults, $10 for kids ages 9-12, and kids 8 and younger are free.
⁠
2. The National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel: This is the site of Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination. The ⁠museum gives a comprehensive and chronological history of the civil rights movement. It’s a somber experience at times but ⁠definitely worth the visit.⁠ It costs $18 for adults, and children 5-17 cost $15. Children 4 and younger are free.
⁠
3. Take a pic at I AM A MAN Plaza. Cedric really wanted to take a pic in front of this iconic ⁠sculpture.⁠
⁠
4. Walk down Beale Street and listen to the ⁠live blues being played inside the bars and restaurants that line the famous street.
⁠
5. Do not leave Memphis without trying Gus’s ⁠World Famous Fried Chicken. The 🍗 was ⁠sooooo good!
⁠
✨We didn’t get to visit Slave Haven, an Underground Railroad Museum and we missed the March of the Ducks at the Peabody Hotel but we’ll be sure to check them out on our next visit. ⁠
⁠
Have you been to Memphis? If so, what’s your favorite thing to do there?
