    February 6, 2024 Shannon Aycock

    Hiiiii friends! Back in October I went on an amazing trip to Iceland and I’ve finally had the opportunity to round up all the details on our journey. I will start by saying that Iceland is the most beautiful country I have seen and this was my favorite trip to date! This was a girls trip with my two stepdaughters (they’re 24 and 27), and one of my dearest friends. Traveling with the girls to such a beautiful place was…

    Where do I even begin!? If you follow me on social media, then you saw that I went to Israel last fall. The opportunity to go on this trip came up about two months beforehand, so it was a bit spontaneous!

Words cannot even describe my experience in…

I decided to split the trip recap into two different posts because I have a ton of photos, plus each city was so incredible that I felt they were deserving of their own separate posts!

  • The Friday Five: Travel Edition

    May 17, 2019 Shannon Aycock

    Happy Friday! I hope you all have had a great week! I spent the first half of this week in Chicago for a work conference. It was a relatively quick trip (I flew in Monday morning and came home Wednesday night) and we had a packed agenda, but we were able to squeeze in a few sights while there! From what I saw of Chicago, it was a beautiful city! I definitely want to go back for a pleasure trip…
