Envy Apartment

I'm going into my senior year at Florida State University , which is terrifying and sad. The past few years have been awesome, each one better than the next, and I'm ready to make my final year the best one ever. I've done a lot of fun stuff and eaten a lot of good food, but I still have more to do. I decided to make a food/drink inspired FSU bucket list to check off before we all throw our caps in the air and peace out of Tally. (I'm not crying.) If you're an FSU student, get working on this list to make the most out of your time as a Seminole. 1. Have a picnic at Cascades Park. If you haven't been to Cascades park you should change that ASAP. It has a beautiful scenery with a man-made waterfall, an amphitheater, palm trees and more. If you're looking to get off campus (even though ours is beautiful) and away from college kids, Cascades is the place to go. My friends and I love going during the day on weekends and bringing along Taco Bell. They even have a...

Pabst Mansion historian John C. Eastberg takes us inside Milwaukee’s most famous residence. Milwaukee has long been synonymous with beer, so it’s altogether appropriate that one of the city’s greatest architectural landmarks should be the historic Pabst Mansion . Built by Pabst Brewing Company president Frederick Pabst at the height of Milwaukee’s mansion-building era of the 1890s, the home occupies a place on Grand Avenue (now Wisconsin Avenue), a street which at the time was lined with literally dozens of mansions built by the city’s newly moneyed class . Grand Avenue was a far cry from Pabst’s roots as a young immigrant from Germany who arrived with his parents in the frontier town of Milwaukee in 1848. As a teenager, Pabst signed on as a cabin boy on a Great Lakes steamer , eventually attaining the rank of captain by the time he was 21. He met Maria Best, daughter of brewery owner Phillip Best, during a voyage and eventually married her. After his ship ran aground a few years...

Oh Tallahassee, how you surprised me with your amazing placing to visit and amazing dining experiences . Home to Florida State University and the capital city of Florida, there’s a lot to be said for this interesting town . The vibe is very small town but with an artsy flare. Seems like everywhere I looked, there was art to be found. Many of the sides of the building there had the most amazing paintings and there was so much to look at. It satisfied the artsy side of me so much to just be a part of this thriving city for a couple days. Not only was the art scene amazing but this town hosts some pretty cool history as well. But I’ll wait to share more about that on further down. 😉 My husband and I enjoyed spending the weekend in this town (we were past due for a trip without our kids) but quickly realized how kid-friendly this town is. There’s so much to absorb (and EAT!) in Tallahassee, our kids would have loved it just as much as we did. So without further ado, I give you my top...
