This is our family’s experience spending two days and three nights at the Legoland Hotel in New York. We had so much fun and we were really surprised by how much there was to do within just the resort itself! When we made the decision to visit Legoland New York this year, we decided to...
DID YOU MISS PART 1? GO BACK AND SEE IT HERE! The beauty of going to a park like Cedar Point and staying on property (we stayed at the LEGENDARY Hotel Breakers!) is just how much flexibility you have during your stay! Being able to simply walk from the hotel over to the Magnum Gate...

Hi! I'm Kara!
Welcome to my blog!
I'm a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer and wedding content creator with a love for storytelling, both on wedding days and beyond.
I've been part of the wedding industry since 2009, documenting 250+ wedding days and helping couples preserve the moments, big and small, that make their day uniquely theirs.
When I'm not working a wedding, you'll probably find me creating videos for my personal YouTube channel, The Adventuring Abbeys, where my family and I share our love of amusement parks, roller coasters, and travel.
Around here, you'll find wedding inspiration and behind-the-scenes content, family adventures, amusement park visits, travel stories, and a little bit of everyday life.
I'm so glad you're here!
