Do you like to stay in hotels or rental homes on your travels? I tend to favor hotels, especially @historichotels! On our road trip, we stayed in 6 different hotels, including historical ones in Nashville and New Orleans.

Spending the Modern Mrs. Darcy Readers’ Weekend diving into the latest book by @authorbeatriz with my furry friend. I can’t get enough of books about the Cold War lately! #mmd #mmdbookclub

One of the best parts of a road trip is popping in unique stores along the way. I love finding independent bookstores at our vacation destinations, and I especially love books from the local interest/history section. It’s the best way to discover under-the-radar books about your destination! On our latest road trip, I found three new bookstores to love - @sundogbooks, @faulknerhousebooks, and @the.gardendistrictbookshop. What’s your favorite vacation destination book store? I love discovering new gems! #indiebookstore #indiebookshop

We’ve returned home from a 14 day, 10 state, 2800 mile road trip through the Deep South. It was a beach trip/college visit/historical travel trip all rolled into one! It took a lot of advance planning, especially with most sights requiring advance purchase tickets, but we did wing the last two nights and those stops ended up being some of our favorites! Have you taken a road trip with your family? What was your route or destination? Sometimes these trips make the best memories! #historytravel #familytravel #roadtrip

When driving along I-95 to Washington, DC, you can't miss the striking spire of the @USMCMuseum. It tells the story of the Marines from the American Revolution through today. Read my new review to learn why this is one of my children's favorite museums (link in bio)! #thehistorymom #historytravel #familytravel #usmcmuseum

Happy publication day to one of my most anticipated historical fiction books of the year! I love when reading an advanced reader copy (ARC) introduces you to an author who quickly becomes a favorite. I read an ARC of A Woman of Intelligence by Karin Tanabe and was blown away by her writing and fantastic storytelling - so much so that I immediately started reading her backlist and have loved each and every book!
