Some weekends are made for catching up on chores…not!
Mother’s Day weekend took me to one of my favorite places on Earth🌎…Sedona, Arizona. There’s just something magical about those red rock landscapes that keeps calling me back. We mixed in a few favorites with some new discoveries…hiking Cathedral Rock and then Oak Creek Canyon, a new trail that didn’t disappoint. Spending Mother’s Day with one of my boys, making memories on the trail, is something I’ll never take for granted.

Before I had a chance to unpack, Memorial Day weekend took us to the amazing island of Curaçao. Crystal-clear water, warm Caribbean sunshine, and island life…there are certainly worse ways to spend a long weekend. It was just enough time to recharge before jumping back into reality.

Then came another quick getaway, this time to Kansas City for something completely different: cheering on Curaçao in their first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance. Wearing yellow and blue, surrounded by passionate fans, and watching a country of just over 158,000 people take the world stage was something special. The final score almost became secondary. It was about believing, celebrating, and being part of history.

Looking back, May and June weren’t about long vacations. They were about saying “yes” to weekends that became memories. Sometimes the best adventures don’t require weeks away. All you need is a free weekend, a boarding pass, and a “just go” attitude!
