Did you know Dubai was actually conceived to be a tourist city? Yeah, me either until recently. Dubai is like the Miami or Palm Springs to people in Europe. It's not far away and a great introduction to the UAE. English is the most common language and only about 15% of the population of Dubai is actually from the UAE so you're bound to meet some really amazing people when you're there! Here are my top places to go, things to do, restaurants, etc.
The most photographed Greek Island is a magical place.

I've been to the Dells more than four times over the years—sometimes with my family, sometimes with my husband—and it’s always a nostalgic mix of classic attractions and discovering what’s new (or sadly, what’s no longer there). Each visit has had its own flavor depending on who I was with and what was open that season. Some places we stumbled into and ended up loving, others were longtime favorites we kept going back to—until they disappeared (RIP to a few lost gems).
This list is a collection of everything I’ve actually spent time and money on—meals, attractions, shows, tours, you name it.

If you're planning a trip, these are the places I’d tell you to check out based on firsthand visits. I’ll keep updating it when we go back (and we always do). Just know that the Dells is always evolving—so while not everything sticks around, the memories sure do.

I love my home state of Minnesota, even with the rep of the brutal, cold winters. What some people don't realize is Minnesotans spend A TON of time outside in the winter.
