This past summer, I finally got the chance to visit Keewaydin Island. I had been wanting to visit this island which is only accessible by boat since reading this article two years ago. A day trip to Keewaydin Island was truly amazing and I cannot wait to share my full review with you and to inspire you to visit this beautiful natural gem in Southwest Florida.
It sure has been one crazy summer. If you had asked me seven months ago what I envisioned summer 2020 to look like it definitely would not have involved a 1300 mile drive over eight states, and two and a half months spent in Florida. But as we all know 2020 gave us lemons and we decided to turn our summer into lemonade. In June when I drove from New York to Florida during the coronavirus pandemic I detailed my day-to-day feelings and the entire journey in a diary which turned into a very popular blog post. Now as we attempt to do the reverse trip and head from Florida to New York during covid, I’ve decided to document my journey once again. Keep reading to see how my trip from Florida to New York during the coronavirus pandemic turned out.
Summer 2020 has been a weird roller coaster for all of us. Instead of my kids going to their beloved summer camp, and our family spending most of our time at our local pool club, we ended up driving to SW FL and spending over two months in the sunshine state. Not what I originally planned, but with trying to make lemons out of lemonade, I found myself with the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World for two days during the pandemic. Certainly not for everyone, but I wanted to share my experience of what we did and how it went. Plus keep reading for some tips if you are visiting the reopening of Walt Disney World during this pandemic.
I’m not sure I know a bigger LEGO fan than my daughter – she is an 8-year old master builder! She LOVES LEGO Friends and has an entire IKEA shelf FULL of her LEGO sets. And as you know, our family loves water parks! So, we were so excited on our recent Orlando trip to be invited to check out LEGOLAND Florida and especially to visit the LEGOLAND Florida water park!
Momma To Go would like to thank LEGOLAND Florida for hosting our visit. We received two complimentary tickets and complimentary parking. As always, all opinions are my own.
Loyal readers know I am a SW FL lover! In normal times we visit the area 2+ times a year, and during the pandemic, we spent the summer of 2020 in North Naples, Florida. I am always loving learning about new things to do and places to stay. Baby girl and I were so excited to be invited to check out the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Naples Downtown and I know you will love this property for your next Southwest Florida vacation!
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Naples Downtown hosted baby girl and I for a fabulous stay. As always, all opinions are my own.
It’s no secret that our family loves visiting water parks! On our recent Orlando trip we were so excited to finally visit H2O Live! This waterpark is actually located in Kissimmee, just south of Orlando. We had a great day at Island H2O Live, and I know you will too. Keep reading for my full waterpark review and tips for your next visit!
We have been in Florida for four weeks, and recently traveled to Orlando from Naples in Southwest Florida. Normally our Orlando trips are family and theme parked packed, and although we are doing Island H2O Live later this week, and Legoland Florida Water park later this summer, on our recent visit Walt Disney World theme parks were still closed. So yesterday afternoon the kids and I headed over to Disney Springs for some lunch and shopping. It was an interesting experience, and I am excited to share a little bit about our day with you.
In the last month, I have stayed in three hotels, across three major hotel chains, in three different states, all during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. I have definitely learned a few things about how to book a hotel during the pandemic, what to look for, and how to stay safe when you travel. Keep reading for my best tips to ensure a great hotel stay during the pandemic.

We are set to leave in a week and a day. Today is May 28, 2020 and I am preparing to take my family 1,306 miles to a better life. I feel like someone out of colonial times. Or a refugee. Or the Byrde’s in Ozark.
But alas, we are just a regular, middle-class American family making a bold move in strange times. My emotions are ALL. OVER. THE. PLACE and I plan to document this day by day. I guess my hope is to have this sort of electronic journal of this crazy period, and to inform and inspire those who need it.
And maybe just to share my story. Keep reading for some random musings on road tripping, hotel staying and busting through a Florida quarantine in the times of COVID-19.
Back in February 2020, I stayed five nights at the Club Med Sandpiper Bay in Port Saint Lucie Florida. So glad I got this trip in before the pandemic, and I had a great time at this unique and beautiful property. I had never been to a Club Med before, and as this is the only all-inclusive resort in the United States, I was super curious to check it out. I am excited to share my review with you and help you plan your next Club Med vacation!
