I had little knowledge of the barrier islands of Georgia (and honestly other than Atlanta, Georgia was never in the forefront of my mind as a travel destination). The Peach State offers so much more than humidity and a great aquarium. The Barrier Islands or Golden Isles, are an amazing travel destination and I can’t believe they are accessible in such a short time from Jacksonville.

Boston is a city I have been to numerous times, but each time I go, it feels like a new place. I spent many days going on field trips walking the Freedom Trail, gazing at the massive State House and of course, Blue Man Group, ha.

You could spend months in this beautiful city and still have lots of food to eat and sights to see! Hoping this quick guide to Chicago helps you plan the perfect itinerary in the Windy City. Having numerous sky…
