Welcome

Hi, I'm Tykesha. A travel addict, wife, and momma of two, working to find ways to overcome my anxiety about traveling with little ones while maintaining an active travel life. On this site, I'm sharing my travel wins & failures and advice about mommyhood on the road. Welcome to my blog!

Your internet niece rode a horse for the first tim

Your internet niece rode a horse for the first time!! We went horseback riding with @oaklandheightsfarm in Orange, Virginia but baby girl was having none of it. I don’t think she realized how large 🐴 are in real life. 🤣 I was trying to coax her into working through her fears. Just when I was about to give up, the owner of the farm, Mr. Lamb, stepped in. He picked Austen up and gently explained to her what to do and the next thing I knew, homegirl was slowly riding a horse with Mr. Lamb by her side. She only rode for a few minutes but when she got off, she was beaming from ear-to-ear. She was so proud of herself! We cheered for her and stressed the importance of trying new things. 💃🏾 What do you do to encourage your kids to try something new? Check my stories for a list of other fun things to do in Orange, Virginia.

How to travel more with a full-time job? This is o

How to travel more with a full-time job? This is one of the questions we get asked the most. The short answer is, we are weekend warriors🥳. We're quick to hop in the car for a road trip on long holiday weekends. [Please LIKE, SAVE & SHARE]⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Here are my top 5 tips for traveling more with a full-time job:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
1. Take advantage of federal holidays. We try to
plan ⁠quick getaways to neighboring towns and
cities ⁠during most three-day weekends. If you
want to take a quick trip before fall, Labor Day is
right ⁠around the corner. Check my stories for a
list of⁠ family destinations to visit for Labor Day
weekend.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
2. Add a day before and after a federal holiday to
get ⁠⁠the most bang for your travel time. If a
federal ⁠holiday falls on a Monday, and you take
paid time off ⁠⁠for the Friday before and the
Tuesday after the ⁠⁠holiday, you can have a 5-
day vacation that only ⁠cost you two days of PTO.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
3. Become a tourist in your hometown. Do some ⁠⁠
research and find out good places to visit in and
around your home city or town.
⁠⁠
4. Submit the leave request! I know a lot of
people ⁠⁠who work in environments where taking
leave is ⁠frowned upon. But guess what? You
earned that ⁠leave. It’s yours! USE IT!!!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
5. Ask if your employer has an alternate
work ⁠⁠schedule or remote work option.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What do you do to maximize paid time off?

How to spend 24 Hours in Memphis! ⁠We took a day

How to spend 24 Hours in Memphis! ⁠We took a day trip to Memphis during our 8-day Nashville vacay. Here’s a quick list of things to do in a day in Memphis: (LIKE, SAVE & SHARE)⁠
⁠
1. Stax Records Museum: As a music 🎶
loving ⁠family, we couldn’t visit Memphis without ⁠
stopping by Stax AKA Soulville USA, to see
where so much of our ⁠favorite music was
created. We had a ball ⁠singing along with classic
R&B tunes that played over the speakers as
we strolled ⁠through the museum. Some of Stax
more famous artists include: Otis Redding,
Isaac ⁠Hayes, The Staple Singers, and Sam &
Dave.⁠ It costs $13 for adults, $10 for kids ages
9-12, and kids 8 and younger are free.
⁠
2. The National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine
Motel: This is the site of Dr. Martin Luther King’s
assassination. The ⁠museum gives a
comprehensive and ⁠chronological history of the
civil rights movement. It’s a somber experience
at times but ⁠definitely worth the visit.⁠ It costs
$18 for adults, and children 5-17 cost $15.
Children 4 and younger are free.
⁠
3. Take a pic at I AM A MAN Plaza. Cedric really ⁠
wanted to take a pic in front of this iconic ⁠
sculpture.⁠
⁠
4. Walk down Beale Street and listen to the ⁠live
blues being played inside the bars and
restaurants that line the famous street.
⁠
5. Do not leave Memphis without trying Gus’s ⁠
World Famous Fried Chicken. The 🍗 was ⁠
sooooo good!
⁠
✨We didn’t get to visit Slave Haven, an Underground Railroad Museum and we missed the March of the Ducks at the Peabody Hotel but we’ll be sure to check them out on our next visit. ⁠
⁠

Greetings from Yogi Bear’s™ Jellystone Park™ — Delaware Beaches! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Staying @jellystonede was like going to sleepover camp but with the whole family! 😊 There are so many cool things to do and see. (SAVE & SHARE THIS POST)⁠⁠
⁠⁠
There’s a splash park, pool, playground, basketball court, volleyball area, and my kids’ favorite the arcade! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The resort even plans events that the entire family can enjoy. My favorite event was the “water war”. Park crew members rode around engaging folks in water “fights”. The kids didn’t take the attacks lying down, they were ready with super soakers. It was fun to watch. I didn’t get caught in the crossfire but my mom and the kids did. 🤣 Swipe to see pics of the aftermath. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
About our digs: we stayed in the resort’s luxury cabin which is a 1-bedroom air-conditioned log cabin with a kitchenette, & a full bathroom. We had two bunk beds, both with a full-size bed on the bottom & twin beds up top. There was also a futon in the room. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you’re looking for more outdoorsy accommodations the park also has RV and tent 🏕 camping sites.⁠⁠

Have you stayed in a cabin, RV site, or gone tent camping at a Yogi Bear™ Jellystone Park™? Which one?⁠⁠

We spent a weekend exploring Loudoun County, Virgi

We spent a weekend exploring Loudoun County, Virginia, and we had so much fun! Loudoun County is the perfect destination for a weekend jaunt. Located just 25 miles from DC, this area is known as ‘DC’s wine country’ but there’s plenty to do for families. Here are a few things we enjoyed during our two-day stay (SAVE AND SHARE THIS POST):⁠⁠
 1. We picked our own fruit at @greatcountryfarms The farm also had a pie eating contest while we were there. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
2. Beer at @dirtfarmbrews. If you love a good lager like I do, try their “Straw” beer. It was delish! But this brewery not only delivered on beer, but also on views. Check out my stories for a peek at the gorgeous view. There's also plenty of space for the kiddos to play.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
3. After a few brews, we headed out to the Red Rock Wilderness Overlook Park for a walk. The Park has more than 60 acres of walking trails. The kids enjoyed the historic buildings on site. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
4. Before heading home, we stopped by @leesburganimalpark and were treated to a live animal presentation. This family-owned business also has some barn animals the kiddos were able to feed, pony rides and a 3-level indoor play area.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The next time we visit Loudoun County we’re planning to check out the historic town of Middleburg, explore the @salamanderresort , and do a little shopping at the outlet shops in Leesburg.⁠⁠
