Welcome Back, Friends! Travel Tuesday — Winter Escapes, Family Adventures & Destinations I Love

For you to go out and explore more, smart and better!

Hi friends,

Happy Travel Tuesday! I hope you all had a cozy Thanksgiving weekend. My boys are still debating who ate the most pie, and I’m officially sliding into holiday-travel mode over here. November always brings that perfect mix of family time, gratitude, and dreaming up new adventures — so today I’m sharing some of my favorite destinations I’ve personally visited and highly recommend for your winter and early-2025 travel planning.

Let’s dive in!

🌴 Warm Winter Escape: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
If you’re craving sunshine and warm water while California cools down, Puerto Vallarta is one of my absolute favorites. I’ve visited several times, and it always delivers — calm beaches, colorful old town, delicious food, and easy family-friendly resorts.
Whether you're planning a couples trip or bringing kids and teens, it’s the kind of place where everyone feels instantly relaxed. More guides coming soon!

🌵 A California Gem: Joshua Tree National Park
Joshua Tree is one of those magical places that feels otherworldly. We’ve explored its trails, quirky desert towns, giant boulders, and night skies — and it remains one of my top California weekend getaways.
It’s perfect for families who love simple hikes, stargazing, photography, or that peaceful desert energy. Stay in a cozy Airbnb with a hot tub, explore Hidden Valley, and let the kids climb to their hearts’ content.

🇨🇷 A Tropical Adventure: Costa Rica
Costa Rica is pure magic — waterfalls, rainforests, wildlife, hot springs, and some of the most welcoming people we’ve met on our travels.
We spent time exploring beaches, hanging bridges, lush jungles, and volcano views, and it’s a destination I recommend to every family.
If you’re dreaming of adventure + nature + relaxation all in one trip, Costa Rica is a must. I’ll be sharing more guides and tips soon!

HERE IS EVERYTHING YOU COULD DO

🚢 Family Cruise Recommendation
Cruising continues to be one of our easiest family trips. Warm Caribbean water, nonstop activities for older kids, beautiful beaches — and zero planning stress. If you're thinking of a 2025 or 2026 cruise, now is when the best Travel Tuesday deals pop up.

Wishing you a warm, cozy start to the holiday season — whether you’re dreaming up your next big adventure or planning a simple weekend getaway.
