It’s so surprise that our family loves to travel, and we believe that Aimery should travel as much as he can while he’s young! Ben and I feel as though traveling allows his mind to be more open to new places, while he gets to learn more about each place we visit. Our goal is to travel as much as possible before we expand our family! Wondering why we chose to visit Florida during an off-season? We have found that traveling to Orlando during the winter allows us to avoid the huge crowds and save some money on flights!

It definitely made for the perfect staycation! With the craziness of the upcoming holidays, it was good for Ben and I to connect before holiday parties and events!

They needed us to shoot campaign content in early May, so it was really hard for us to find somewhere with an open pool! Thankfully, Eden Resort opened their outdoor heated pool and Kidz Water Zone the weekend before, so we were able to book a night at their resort to create content. Eden Resort is just a short 30 minute drive from our home, and I absolutely loved being able to get away for the night without all of the travel that comes with normal vacations! I never understood the concept of a staycation until our trip to Eden, but let me tell ya, I’m a huge fan! ESPECIALLY with kids, staycations are where it’s at!

We stayed together in an eight bedroom house at Encore Resort with our own private pool, and it was just the vacation I needed! It was so fun being able to finally meet the girls I have been following on Instagram for over a year. Most of our kids were around the same age, so it was great having them all together to play in the pool. And of course, I loved being able to spend quality time with Aimery.
