Generally when people think of wine regions in the United States, the first that come to mind (at least for me) are Napa Valley in California and the Finger Lakes in New York. But did you know there are hundreds of wineries in Pennsylvania? I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t know much about…

No matter how much experience you have, or the amount of research you do beforehand, trips will almost never go 100% according to plan. Sometimes it is completely out of your control, like a storm causing a flight delay or cancellation. Other times it will be completely avoidable, and you may feel annoyed with yourself…

I can’t believe its already the one year anniversary of starting the Short Girl Travels blog! I swear the older I get, the faster time seems to fly by. It feels like just yesterday that I was nervously hitting “publish” for the first time, and now here I am with post #45. Sure there have…

I’ve realized after traveling with other people, as well as taking a couple small solo trips, that my husband Jasper is truly my favorite person to travel with. Ugh, so mushy, I know. I am NOT a super mushy person, so this feels like a lot coming from me. So traveling as a couple is…

Mixing things up with a special installment of Will Travel for Coffee, focusing on a local coffee chain called Char & Stave. They have two locations: one in Ardmore, PA, and the other in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia. What makes them different from the other coffee shops I’ve covered so far is they’re…

You’ll find Bartram’s Garden situated along the the Schuylkill River in southwest Philadelphia. It wasn’t as big as I expected based on the acreage and Google Maps. It was a nice park, but if I’m being honest I was a bit underwhelmed based on how many sites recommended it being a must-visit. There weren’t as…

Just across the Ben Franklin Bridge from Philadelphia, you’ll find the Adventure Aquarium on the riverfront in Camden, New Jersey. We decided to go on a Thursday morning with my brother and his family, thinking it’d be a bit less busy than on the weekend. Boy were we wrong. Apparently since it was the start…

Located about a 45 minute drive up I-95 from Center City Philadelphia is the gorgeous Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton Township, New Jersey. This 42-acre outdoor museum is part sculpture park and part arboretum, full of not just sculptures but also monuments, water features, and lots of nature. Founded in 1992 on the site of…

I honestly flip flopped on whether or not to even write this post for a while. “What am I doing? I write about travel, not booktok books. Stay in your lane, stay focused.” But really, what better way is there to get through a travel day than with a good book? (And regardless, I reminded…

Welcome back to the third installment of Will Travel for Coffee! Next up on my coffee shops review tour: Chestnut Hill Coffee Co in Philadelphia, PA, and Malvern Buttery in Malvern, PA. Unfortunately, this is the first time since starting this series that I’ve come across a coffee shop I probably wouldn’t go back to.…
