Howdy friends. After all the exploring in Colorado I wanted to share with you some ideas on what to do in downtown Boulder. Covering the What to do? Where to stay? Where to eat? What to do?!? Check out Pearl Street Mall this is the main shopping attraction in Boulder. You can dine here, visit unique and well known shops, or simply walk around and check out the street entertainment. Bruiser is my favorite and a favorite for a lot of little…
Looking for a fun, challenging, and quick hike in Boulder, this is your calling. We learned this is a local fav for hiking in Boulder. We even met some locals who hike this weekly for a fast work out. Lots of pups too. Very dog friendly so go ahead and bring fido along. Hike has great views of the city and some nice challenging sections which makes it a winner. To get to this hike park at Centennial Trailhead. If…
Adventure is making a comeback! One of the world’s highest suspension bridges, Royal Canyon bridge, hangs high above the Arkansas River, in a 360 acre park. The bridge was constructed starting back in 1929 and has been a favorite tourist attraction in Colorado since. I was surprised to learn while visiting that a lot of original buildings and attractions were no longer at the park. A wildfire swept through the area in June 2013 destroying much of the park but…
Visiting Garden of the Gods was a sweet sweet rock formation treat!! Located in Colorado Springs, Garden of the Gods in an insanely beautiful gathering of rock formations that can be admired by visitors. It is a state park and free to the public. Yippee!! When arriving at the park make sure you stop first at the visitor and nature center because you’ll wanna pick up a map of the park. Also this is where you can learn more about the landscape,…
What’s better than babes and beer?!? Well….we can’t think of anything!!! So after a couple days in nature land, with little to no contact with other human beings, we decided it was time to face civilization yet again…see if we still excelled at socializing and drinking. You know the important things in life. I’m happy to report back that we still got it! To test our drinking and social abilities we headed to cute and quaint Fort Collins. They are…
Best views from Boulder you ask?!? Hands down venture to Flagstaff Mountain and enjoy the glorious scenery. The great thing about Flagstaff Mountain is..if you’re feeling lazy or just simply feeling the effects of the elevation, you don’t have to hike it, you can drive it. And welp that’s exactly what I did. It’s a fun twisting turning drive with lots of spots to get out of the car and take pics. And a day pass only sets you back…
I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees. -Henry David Thoreau Ok, so let’s just reflect on the fact that Colorado is amazing. The people here are so active that I feel rather lazy next to them. They’re like superhuman or at the very least they’re drinking/eating some power fruit/berry that the rest of us on this planet, just simply, don’t know about. They need to let us in on their little secret!! Anyways,…
Yay! You made it on over to the blog. So glad I was able to convince you to meet me here. So a lot of you probably have no clue what I actually do to be able to go on all these adventures and well quite frankly… afford them. And a lot of you probably wish you had the finances to be able to do the same. Well, I’m here to help. There are a couple reasons that I am…
Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens is such an overwhelmingly peaceful estate sitting on 70 acres of pristine land in Akron, Ohio. You’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into the past when you visit this historical landmark. And if you’re anything like me you’ll be trying to figure out ways you can move on in without anyone noticing!! *Unfortunately this is all together impossible since the estate has daily tours in which visitors explore the house, but a girl can still…
Szalay’s Farm is one of my favorite places to visit when I’m in Ohio. You can always expect a big crowd and a lot of fun at this farm!! With live music, a market, an eatery, and so much more it’s no wonder it’s a local favorite! Open from June 3rd to October 31st the farm and market is located right by the Cuyahoga Valley National Park bike trails, therefore many visitors ride their bikes to the farm to spend the afternoon…
