A couple of months ago, I put together a blog with suggestions for having a girl’s weekend trip to Sheboygan; including suggestions for where to go out for food and drinks, shops to visit, activities to do as a group, and other local gems to enjoy.

I consulted with my partner on some of his favorite attractions in Sheboygan that he thinks would make for the perfect guys trip in Sheboygan.

Sometimes the best thing you can bring home from vacation is a camera roll full of your memories commemorating your unique trip. Sometimes people want photos of themselves on their trip, at a tourist spot, trying a new experience, doing something adventurous, or just posing with a pretty or bragging-worthy background. Others prefer to stay behind the camera and get shots of their food, the landscape, a city, a scene they want to remember, animals they find, or a photo of each place they stop at. No matter which form of photos you prefer to bring back with you from vacation, I have a list of my favorite spots to share.

When we close our eyes and dream about our upcoming vacation, we see ourselves happy and excited, trying new things, visiting new and unique places, maybe even stepping out of our comfort zones a bit. You probably envision yourself relaxing a bit whether that is by sitting back and kicking up your feet, or engaging in activities that keep you up and moving, sight-seeing and keeping yourself enthralled in your new surroundings. While I hope that your vacation is all you dream it to be, there are a couple of necessities you will want to be aware of before you arrive at your destination. Although these things are not very exciting, trust me, you will be better off knowing them before you go on your vacation so that you’re prepared if/when the need arises.

This is the tale of Emagine Sheboygan and the Wandering Kayaker: what to expect and my experience.

When we’re kids, there’s nothing more exciting and important than playtime. Playing is a means for releasing energy, learning more about the world and about yourself, a source of fun and happiness, a break from your day-to-day schedule, a time to get together with friends, to be silly, and so much more. Why then, do we reserve the idea of playtime for just children? The results of play are positive and universal to all ages. Play can take on many different forms depending on what your needs for play are. With summer nearly upon us, there’s plenty of opportunities and desire to fulfill our playful needs.

Summer is right around the corner and I am ready and eager for the summer weather, activities, vibes, and most of all: travel.
