In 2005, I moved from Ohio to Tampa Bay for a year... until I fell in love with my husband, guava pastries and 70-degree weather on Christmas. I've been here ever since, working as a journalist and moonlighting as a bargain hunter.

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Through 9/3, military families get free admission to 1,500 museums nationwide! Pass it on! http://t.co/12AasnQP
