A Sneak Peek Our 2024 Travel Plans
If you’ve been following along with our travels, you know that 2023 was a huge travel year for us. We visited Kentucky, North Carolina, Iceland, Dominican Republic, USVI, St. Maarten, Puerto Rico, and more. It’s going to be really hard to top that, but we already have at least 4 trips on the books. We’re excited to make new memories together and share our journey with you!
One of our goals this year is to add some more stamps to our National Park Passports, so it’ll be fun to see how many of those we’ll be able to collect.
Here is what we have on the books for 2024!

The Florida Keys
Believe it or not, I’ve lived in Florida for 32 years, and I have never been to the Florida Keys! Isn’t that hard to believe?
This year, we are visiting The Keys with some of our close friends. We’re looking forward to a couple of days of fishing, snorkeling, and swimming. We may even hit up Biscayne National Park on the way home.
The Bahamas
Our babes are quickly becoming obsessed with cruises. The twins celebrated their last two birthdays with a cruise and Smiley chose to celebrate her 10th birthday the same way.
With our schedules, though, we had to book a cruise for later in the year. We’re doing a quick 4 day cruise out of Jacksonville to The Bahamas in honor of her turning 10. We’ll be visiting Bimini and Freeport, both of which are new to use.
On the trip, we plan on swimming with stingrays, which is something I tried in Grand Turk and LOVED it. Our kids favorite part of our local zoo is the touch tank called Stingray Bay, so hopefully they’ll enjoy being able to swim with stingrays.
Disney World
The twins decided that this year they wanted to celebrate their birthday at Disney World. It’s been a couple of years since we’ve been to Disney so it’ll be great to see how much the kids love it this time!
The picture above is from our last trip to Disney where we celebrated Smiley turning 5.
Christmas Trip
We’ve gifted the kids a trip for Christmas the last couple of years. This year, we decided that instead of doing gifts and a small trip, we’d plan a bigger trip, instead. The kids already get so many gifts from family and friends, so it’s not like they’ll go without.
We put all of the names of the states the kids have not visited yet into a New Years Hat and on the first of this year, each kid drew a state out of the hat. The kids drew: Oregon, Minnesota, and West Virginia.
We then put the three states in a separate container and selected which state we’d plan our Christmas trip around. We selected West Virginia.
But, the trip is going to be so much more than just West Virginia. We’ll also be adding Pennsylvania, Maryland, and DC to the itinerary. Our trip will include winter activities, a visit to a theme park, and adding several stamps to our National Park Passport.
...and more...
But… that’s not all! We’ll also be adding lots of day trips and weekend getaways to our travels this year. We can’t wait to share it all with you!
