  • #ad โ˜ƒ๏ธ Happy New Year! ๐ŸŒŸ Itโ€™s been a quiet couple of weeks around here, but itโ€™s a good thing. ๐Ÿค— Taking some much needed time off from the digital world meant spending more quality time with my family. As a matter of fact, we decided to give ourselves the gift ๐ŸŽ of affordable local travel this year and enjoy a family staycation for the holidays. I tend to โ€œgo bigโ€ when planning family travel ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ - exotic locations ๐Ÿ , luxury digs, once in a lifetime adventures, and exorbitant meals ๐Ÿฅ˜. This year I used @Motel6 as a convenient, budget-friendly lodging option so we could focus on making memories with less financial ๐Ÿ’ต stress. This, in addition to making a short drive down to my old stomping grounds of San Diego, made for such a great family staycation! I mean, leisurely mornings with coffee โ˜•๏ธ planning our day ahead and then coming โ€œhomeโ€ ๐Ÿ  to relax to our favorite shows after a full day of exploration and excitement was all we needed to be happy ๐Ÿ˜Š and content. I loved ๐Ÿ’• being able to say โ€œyesโ€ย  to an unplanned activity or treat ๐Ÿฌ because I knew I wasnโ€™t over-extending my vacation budget. As a matter of fact, we are considering taking a second budget-friendly winter vacation this year to go skiing โ›ท with the money we saved! Motel 6 is offering some great holiday savings right now. Save 12% on all stays now through January 19th! Learn more: http://bit.ly/2sHxP0S #HolidayswithMotel6

  • According to legend,ย a white elephant, carrying a relic of the Buddha, was released into the jungle and began to climb a large mountain in the center of Chiang Mai, Thailand โ€“ Doi Suthep. When it reached the top, the elephant ๐Ÿ˜ trumpeted three times before dying on the mountain. . King Nu Naone took this as a sign that a temple should be built on this spot and that is where the Theravada Buddhist templeย Wat Phra That Doi Suthep resides today. It is revered as being one of the most sacred temples in Northern Thailand as it contains the holy relic of Lord Buddha. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ . The temple is arranged around a central original copper plated chedi โ€“ which is the most holy area of the temple grounds. It is customary to walk around the chedi three times chanting a prayer, and leaving a wish bell ๐Ÿ”” to chime in the breeze. . ๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผSwipe up on my story for the direct link to my blog post to continue reading... โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € ๐Ÿ“ Wat Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai, Thailand โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € This is part of a #ThailandInsider partnered experience.
