Ryan has always dreaded his 30th birthday, so to make it a little easier we planned a 16 day trip to Scandinavia! After tons of research on which cities to visit, we booked our Norwegian Air flights and hotels months in advance. As the trip got closer, we asked friends and family for recommendations, but the game-changer was finding Alex at The Nomad's Direction! After meeting Alex through a Facebook group for women entrepreneurs, we met for coffee and she planned our entire trip! All I did was take a questionnaire so Alex could get to know our vacationing style....

My husband, Ryan, and I started styleNmotion over 2 years ago as a travel blog. We were living in California at the time and experiencing so many amazing places that we wanted to document and share! You can check out our first documented trip here. styleNmotion has evolved and grown into my full time job as an online clothing boutique and styling service for women of all walks of life. Which means that the blog needed to evolve with it! Ryan is taking a backseat on writing (I keep him busy enough with photography and the website!) and I'm now...

(Caitlin) I normally only write blog posts for my travels, tagging all the delicious dinners I had and sights I saw. But this one will be a bit different! I think by this point you know that every time I visit family back in Ohio, I pick up Jimmy John's, have a night out at Jag's, and countless dance parties with my niece and nephew. I'd rather take the time and recap every special moment (small and big) celebrating styleNmotion's first birthday! Family dinner where my aunts rush through eating just so they can try on the new styles first!...

(Caitlin) One of Ryan's Christmas gifts from me was a weekend away in Hudson, NY. Without a car, we've become obsessed with Amtrak! We head to Penn Station and Amtrak will get us anywhere on the east coast in a few hours. Plus it's much cheaper than flying and extremely relaxing. So after a two hour ride of reading and tinkering, we were there. We walked the 10 minutes from the station to the "downtown" area on Warren St. and went straight to brunch at Le Gamin. Adorable antiques with delicious food and their lattes come in bowls! We back...

(Caitlin) Going back to Cincinnati is always a blur of hugs, laughter, and my favorite foods (looking at you Jag's and Jimmy John's!). My parents picked Ryan and I up from the airport and took us straight to Chart House which we had never been to! Delicious food and gorgeous views of the city. The next day we unpacked, had a relaxing day, and met up with both of our parents and Ryan's sister at Red Robbin for dinner and then headed to see Star Wars! We all loved it!! The next morning, my cousin Dakota and I headed north...
