An overnight adventure at Newport Aquarium, where you can sleep with the sharks, is an experience that ranks really high on my all time favorite adventure list. That really says a lot considering that our family has been fortunate to have experienced a lot of incredible adventures. I love getting opportunities to experience something that you can’t replicate anywhere else. This is one of those types of experiences.
I look forward to the Butterfly Show at the Krohn Conservatory each year. The butterflies are gorgeous and it’s so exciting when you discover one has picked you to land on. The key is the have your camera ready because those moments happen FAST! I’m looking forward to discovering what this year’s theme as “Butterflies of the Philippines” will bring.
Here is a little more about this year’s show.
This year’s exhibit features the colorful and exotic Butterflies of the Philippines, and they will preside over a majestic tribute to the marvelous Filipino culture. The showroom will be filled with butterflies soaring among bold displays that will immerse visitors in a sumptuous tropical environment. A large, dramatic mural of an erupting volcano and a wildly cascading waterfall will provide a striking backdrop for many tropical plants such as ornate orchids, brilliant bromeliads, delicate anthuriums and dramatic dracaenas.
Many exciting events have been planned throughout the 12-week Butterfly show to allow visitors to experience the free-soaring butterflies and to discover even more about the vibrant, engaging and gracious Filipino culture.

I absolutely LOVED our adventure with animals at African Safari Wildlife Park in Port Clinton, Ohio. I might even say it’s made it’s way into my all time top 10 adventures which is a pretty big deal because our family has shared a lot of incredible experiences.
There are a few reasons why I thought it was so great.
Newport Aquarium provides a unique experience for guests who want to get up close with African penguins. Your visit is in a climate controlled room which means you don’t need any additional layers of clothing because African penguins are used to warmer temperatures.
Kentucky Down Under has been on my adventure list for a while. One of the big reasons it’s been on my list is because they have kangaroos! What’s even better is that you can interact with them!
My boys and I got to go on a behind the scenes tour at the Newport Aquarium to take in a new perspective.
My friend Kasey just got back from an INCREDIBLE vacation! When I saw her facebook pictures I noticed that she got to cross off a few adventures that have been on my list for a while.
My response could easily have been intense jealousy BUT comparison is the thief of joy so I decided to switch my mindset! She really inspired me to not give up and to continue to live my dreams. If she could do it, we can do it too!
I asked Kasey to share some tips for how she was able to pull off her dream vacation on a limited budget.
A visit to the Kentucky Horse Park is a must when you visit Lexington. Kentucky is known to be “Horse Capital of the World” and the Kentucky Horse Park creates an appreciation, education and admiration for these beautiful creatures. The park is set on 1,200 acres of beautiful rolling hills and your biggest challenge will be deciding what area to visit first.
