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!

It's $30 per adult (21 years and older) for the self-paced walking & tasting tour. Kids are allowed on the premises, but of course can't partake.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 4. The tour includes a tour of the cellar, and a workshop where you can add an Uncle Nearest label to one of the bottles going out for distribution. I also learned a lot of details about the friendship between Uncle Nearest and Jack Daniel's, there were also talks on the history of women's suffrage in Tennessee, and the state's renowned walking horses.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For more information, check my link in bio for a full review of our Nearest Green Distillery Tour.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠⁠ #nearestgreen #unlcenearest #shelbyville #visittn #tennessee #familyroadtrip ⁠#tenneseewhiskey ⁠ #whiskeytastings #instawhiskey⁠ #travelwithkids #familyvacation #kidstravel #familyvacay #travelingwithkids⁠ #showthemtheworld #travellingwithkids #travelkids #familytravels #wearetravelmums #familytravelblog #familytravelbloggers">

Spring break is almost here!! I’ve started plann

Spring break is almost here!! I’ve started planning my family’s spring break trip to Williamsburg, Virginia.
Planning a family vacation can involve a lot of moving pieces. I often joke that I have to create a Venn Diagram of all of my family's calendars to pinpoint dates for our vacation.
When planning, I pad each trip with at least one additional day on the backend so we can rest once we've returned home. The last thing I need is to feel like I need a vacation after our trip.
Once the dates are blocked off, it's time to put together a travel checklist and itinerary. I use our AAA membership not only to help me plan our trips, but also the great discounts and peace of mine while on the road!
Make sure to add AAA Membership to your spring break checklist. See the link in bio to learn about AAA Membership.

We were recently invited to stay at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco @monacodc This swanky, boutique hotel is not only beautiful but it’s filled with DC history.
The hotel is located in a building that was completed in 1842. We stayed in the Robert Mills Suite which is named after the architect who not only designed the Monaco Hotel but also the Washington Monument.
