Summer 2024 we spent a week deep in the forest of northern Arizona. It was a more chill vacation than I’m used to but it was absolutely fabulous. We stopped in Flagstaff for two nights on the way north to break up the drive. It just so happens that it was really hot the week […]
After we visited Carlsbad Caverns we were counting how many national parks we’ve visited. We realized I’ve been to 30 and The Husband only 29 because I visited Joshua Tree National Park on a solo trip for my 40th birthday. We clearly had to remedy the situation so I planned a trip! Being that it […]
We visited Guadalupe Mountains National Park on the same trip as Carlsbad Caverns National Park. They are neighbors even though they are in different states. Many people go to Guadalupe Mountains to hike to the tallest point in Texas, Guadalupe Peak. We didn’t have time for that on this trip but were able to spend […]
I wasn’t sure what to expect with Carlsbad Caverns National Park. I’ve seen pictures and heard stories but I wasn’t prepared for what we got to see. I think that’s one of the things I love most about visiting new places, especially the national parks. Pictures are beautiful, but they can never capture the awe […]
I was in Washington, DC in March for a work conference but have never been so I flew in two days early to explore the city. And even more exciting is that my brother joined me! We’ve always wanted to go to DC and took advantage of the fact that one of us was already […]
The Eras Tour wrapped up last night after almost two years of shows. I can’t really put into words how I feel. It’s certainly bittersweet. I am so grateful for this show, that I was able to see it in person twice, for all the grainy live streams and videos on socials, and for the […]
Channel Islands has been on my list for a while. We had a trip planned a couple years ago over fall break, but a crazy storm rolled in and basically cancelled our trip. Channel Islands is definitely one of my favorite national parks. It’s an hourish away from LA and feels otherworldly. The boat ride […]
It’s no secret we love the national parks, so our trip to Hawaii centered around visiting the two national parks there – Hawai’i Volcanos and Haleakalā. We were in Hawaii for a week and visited the Big Island and Maui (Haleakalā and Hana). We felt like we had enough time to explore the parks, and […]
If you’ve been on the Road to Hana you know how epic it is. If you haven’t been on the Road to Hana, you should add it to your bucket list. It legitimately might be one of the most beautiful drives we’ve ever taken. We had some fun and exciting (not) weather on our drive […]
Haleakala National Park is definitely at the top of my favorite national parks list. The national park is a volcano divided into two sections. The summit district is at the top of the volcano with a mars looking landscape and the Kipahulu district is on the backside near the ocean and has the most gorgeous […]
