💫 SAVE for your upcoming Florida trips! SHARE with friends who love Florida! 💫 There’s something familiar, cozy and laid-back about Florida. It often draws me in when I want to get away for a while. It’s familiar and breezy to navigate, yet feels far enough to be a tropical getaway. I usually spend time on the Gulf coast for trips, or near Daytona Beach to see family. My spouse is obsessed with Sanibel and Captiva, I like Palm beach and the Florida Keys. And obviously, all the theme parks. 🎢 Most recently I checked out a new destination: Saint Augustine. To celebrate Taylor’s new banger and the latest on Pure Wander, here’s some of my favorite shots from the sunny state. ☀️ Read the St. Augustine guide on the Pure Wander homepage and scroll to the bottom for all of our favorite floor articles compiled. Let’s start planning! ☑️ #visitflorida #cresentbeach #floridashistoriccoast #travelwriter #floridaguide #floridaitinerary

A return trip 22 years in the making! 🙌🏻 Bryce National Park might be one of my favorites in the whole country. The other-worldly landscape is just something you have to see in person. Especially the ombré-colored hoodoos in white and orange! No matter how much time you have you can get a taste of this gorgeous scenery at multiple outlook points, easy rim hikes, and more challenging switchbacks down into the canyon. I’ll have the full guide on the blog soon all about this epic trip! I also got to travel with an amazing group of women which was the cherry on top of a great experience. Thanks especially to @wanderingwithmegan for the photo of me. I feel so fancy! And of course, I brought my @hibearco Adventure flask in hopes of making a celebratory cocktail but the altitude knocked me down 😅 it’ll be perfect next time I car camp with the squad though - these special ‘flasks’ can handle all these different beverages: 🍷 Wine (plus doubles of the decanter!) ☕️ Cold brew coffee 🫖 Hot or cold tea (keep it chilly with the freezable core) 🍹 Cocktails (comes with muddler!) 🍓 Fruit infused water 💧 And yeah, regular water too I’m giving one away of your choice on the blog and in Instagram reels, go find the post and enter. I think there’s one day left! Good luck! Anyways I can’t wait to return to Utah with everyone to conquer more of the mighty five. There’s five beautiful national parks in the state and I think I’ve made it to all of them except Capitol Reef. Do you like to explore outdoors when you travel? #witsutah #purewander #visitutah #brycenationalparkutah⛰️ #travelwritersofinstagram #ifwtwa #utahviews #ad

DON’T MISS the view at the end! 🌅 Come join me on the easiest hike in Bryce National Park 🏞️ I was a little nervous to be honest about hiking in Utah. I had a baby like six months ago, and sometimes elevation affects me. It wasn’t easy, but I did manage three small hikes on this little trip to Bryce National Park! And this one might’ve been my favorite. Very meandering as the sun goes down with little cave and waterfall stops. Just about perfect. Definitely try it even if you are nervous! #visitutah #WITSUtah #beginnerhiking #plussizehikers #hoodooyoulove #travelwriterlife

It’s a dreamy way to walk into baggage claim through the SLC airport. The main wall installation is 400 feet long and is created by artist Gordon Huether. The benches are seating and sculptural. It’s a cool way to be welcomed into this mountainous city! What’s your favorite airport? @slcairport @sheswanderful #WITSUtah #TheNewSLC #travelwriterlife #saltlakecityartist #traveltipstuesday

Safety is always number one when we’re traveling with our baby. 🥇👶🏻 When we do long road trips, we drive a lot at night. The LED Baby On Board sign is plugged into your trunk outlet or upfront with the extender and stays illuminated while you drive in the dark. It’s such a clever upgrade to the traditional sign! Also, did you know the baby on board sticker isn’t just to let other drivers know who’s in your car? It also helps to alert our emergency responders who might need to access your backseat quickly in event of an accident. It’s one more thing to give you peace of mind when you’re traveling on the road with your family. Have a peek at my bio for a special l!nk and discount code to get yours. Happy travels! -Eileen #babyroadtrip #babyonbabytour #babyonboard👶 #familytraveladventures #familytravelgoals
