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,…
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 in without anyone noticing!! (Unfortunately, this is all together impossible since the estate has daily tours in which visitors explore the house, but I can still dream!) I’m…
I just got back from my first backpacking trip, and I love it. I sure hope Lemon feels the same way because we’ll be going often. I’ve always wanted to get into backpacking, but it seemed so intimidating. The amount of money you have to shell out for the gear, the thought of being away from civilization with only the items you have on your back, and the fear that little Lemon wouldn’t be able to hike a mountain, made…
We’re back in Alaska! Today we’ll be starting in Anchorage and traveling to the small fishing town of Seward. And of course stopping at all the sights on the way! Anchorage Stopping to visit the most populated city in Alaska should be on your list while visiting the Last Frontier. During the summer you can find live bands playing in the park, street vendors with reindeer dogs, and tons of cute shops and restaurants to roam in and out of….
Alaska is such a beautiful state to visit. Most people that visit Alaska head there on a cruise and spend very minimal time actually on land. You can see amazing glaciers, wildlife, and beautiful landscapes from the water. But there is also a lot of hidden treasures on land. Today I’m going to share with you some of my favorite things to do in Alaska. Matanuska Glacier This was one of my favorite Alaskan experiences. Here at Matanuska Glacier, you have access to…
Joshua Tree is one of those places I have wanted to visit for years but just couldn’t find the right timing. Finally, was able to visit this summer and I have some great tips and suggestions for anyone else making the trek out to the desert. Where to eat and get your coffee fix One of the best recommendation I received for Joshua Tree was for food and coffee. When you visit make sure to go to Pie for the…
