Thanks as always for the love you give to this blog, now in it’s 14th year. I feel so blessed by all of you. This past year we have had some posts absolutely hit the record…with more views, reads and comments than ever before. So as I do at the end of each year, here is a list of your favorites – the Top Blog Posts of 2025 for My Fab Fifties Life.

Number One

To my surprise, the most read post of the year was about Cleveland Ohio. This was unexpected to me…I assumed one of my European blogs or Australian posts would have that title. But no, Cleveland Ohio Museums Not to Miss is the winner by a landslide. Loved both on Pinterest and for views and reads on the blog.

A Very Close Second Place

Coming in second but only by a thread, was my very recent post Time to Plan New England in the Fall. If you have not done a fall color trip yet, use our guide to plan one now. We really enjoyed it, and apparently you enjoyed reading about it.

And Here Are Nine More

Hidden Gems of the Pacific Northwest – Portland Oregon our fun weekend in Portland resulted in one of this year’s most read posts.

My Favorite Day Trips from Bordeaux and

Bountiful Bordeaux – Eating My Way Through the City were the most popular of all the European posts I did this year. We loved Bordeaux and would love to visit again.

The Great Ocean Road Victoria Australia Our very long stay in Australia resulted in multiple blog posts, but this one in particular really got a lot of love.

Yellowstone National Park, USA Wow you loved this one! I hope it inspired you to visit!

One Day in Chicago Illinois one day is not enough, but if that is what you have our guide will help you see the highlights.

Hidden Gems of the Pacific Northwest – Port Angeles and the Olympic National Park definitely you should make a visit to Port Angeles and the Olympic National Park.

And these two rewrites that were updated and reposted in February also make the list. Both continue to be top performers year after year since they first were written in 2020;

Maui on a Budget It’s clear by the continued traction this post gets how much people are trying to visit Maui without breaking the bank. I’m glad we can help.

Six Great Hikes on the Island of Maui another perennial winner about Maui.

And there you have it. Your favorites of the year – Top Blog Posts of 2025.
