We had quite a year planned for travel this year. We were going to hit all 12 Disney Parks around the world. We were going to hit a new continent (Asia) and hit 5 new countries. Travel is so important to us, but with recent global events, vacation won’t be happening for many people around the world, including us. We have cancelled all our trips and are staying home. We want to do our part to help. With that being said, I am going to have a lot more time to work on creative things. 2019 was a really busy year for me and my family. My husband started working and I have taken on a lot of extra duties at work (I’m a 3rd grade teacher). I am looking at the things in my life I can control and what I can remain positive about. One of the things is I will be able to work on with my time at home is my blog, my podcast<\/a>, and my travelgram<\/a>. Things I love so dearly, but have had to put on hold for other parts of my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the coming weeks, I will be posting all about our past Spring Break trips on my Instagram. I’ll also be putting some more thorough write-ups of our past travels here. My first post in this series, found below, is about our trip to the Florida Everglades. I know none of us can travel right now, but you have plenty of time to plan your future travels. So here it goes…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We traveled to Florida in March of 2012 and had the most wonderful time. Alligators, Crocodiles, Manatees and so many exotic birds and wildlife. I never knew Florida outside of the Disney World bubble, so it was so fun to visit a natural and beautiful part of the state. My son Luke was only one year old at the time and my daughter Audrey was three. It was fun to take our littles on such a fun adventure across the country from where we live in California. I also loved going somewhere warm. We usually take our Spring Breaks in cold places to follow the deals. This time we got a pretty amazing deal to Florida. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trip Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here is a snapshot of what our trip to the Florida Everglades cost us. Remember, we took this trip in 2012, so the prices may differ a bit. We went for 7 nights overall, but the Florida Everglades section was 4 nights and we did two nights at two different hotels. Here are the stats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
