Family Favorite Vacations we have taken and LOVE 🥰

I'd like to think Denver, Colorado is a hidden-gem city. For the longest time in my life, Denver was just a temporary stop on a trip elsewhere: from layovers to driving through to a ski resort... If you're ever lucky enough to plan a trip out there, this is my perfect 1-day itinerary for Denver!

I use to live in bucyrus off and on, it’s a nice small town but I needed a change in life. Part of my journey to live a life I’m happy with. I’ve worked at Baker’s Pizza, Old 30 BBQ, and The Venue at Old 30.

Every time I visit a new city, my first priority is to check out the local movie scene: drive-ins? Indie theaters? Screenings in the park? I love them all, but my absolute favorite places to visit are historic old movie palaces, a handful of which are still in operation as working movie theaters after periods of restoration. Largely built in the silent film era (though built well into 1940s), these movie palaces represent a time when moviegoing first became a “destination” event for Americans (as movies changed from novelties to works of art), embodying a sense of glamour and excess that you just don't find in contemporary movie theaters. Seeing a movie in an old movie palace reminds you of why you fell in love with cinema in the first place: the stars! The glamour! The drama!

I have made a lot of emergency runs to unexpectedly support loved ones at the hospital. I often drive over 5 hours to the hospital and leave without much notice. Sometimes the stays are a couple of days, but sometimes they are much longer. Either way, I have these items ready to go at all times. While this is not comprehensive, long-term packing, and more is needed for a longer stay, this is enough to get to the hospital and survive for a couple of days without laundry or additional supplies/clothing.
