NorthEast Ohio Winter Adventures | Exploring Cuyahoga Valley National Park in the Winter| CVNP Snow Day

Greetings from Winter Wonderland…or better known as North East Ohio. The first snow of every winter is just simply beautiful. There is almost no way to actually describe what the first snow of winter looks like, smells like, and feels like. It’s just so clean, so crisp, so pure and bright! But the novelty quickly wears off… remember snow only stays around when the temps are below freezing (that’s 32 degrees folks)..the salt and dirty snow gets on everything including but…

Here was the sunset on the drive out of the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful! Headed out to Page and checked into the La Quinta which was my absolute savior. The hotel is dog friendly!!!! Thank goodness….and like super dog friendly, no extra fees for a pet, you can leave the pet in the room while you go explore, and we even saw like 4 other pups in the hotel. Oh, and we got free breakfast.. Score! After my experience…

Well…..we totally without a doubt bit off more than we could chew today and it was epic! So I simply wanted to get closer to the mountain range here in Flagstaff. I didn’t know exactly what I was in for, but I did some research and came up with a plan of action.

The Haunted City of Jerome

The Haunted City of Jerome

I ain’t afraid of no ghost! Jerome… once a thriving copper mining town. Today a thriving ghost town! Jerome has also become a popular destination for artists and has a large artist community.  The town was founded in 1876 and shortly became known as the wickedest town in the west. Four fires destroyed the town and each time the city was rebuilt, most of the structures standing today are ones rebuilt from the 1894 and 1899 fires.  Old New State Motor…

So most of you don’t really have any idea how much of an actual beast Lemon is. I know I know,  you think I must be making this up for goodness sake she’s 5.6 lbs. Well my friends she’s crazy, just plain nuts. When we hike she starts to get angry about the pace (it’s just way too slow for her adventurous soul) So she bites at my ankles, shoes laces, and socks till the speed is more her pace….

Howdy peeps… I’m currently exploring Arizona. Started the journey this past Wednesday and drove through the night. Lemon didn’t sleep a wink on the way which was rather frustrating! Decided our first stop would be Sedona.  Got here around 5am which has provided me with total lack of sleep and made it difficult to get rested up to explore. I think The Bubbly Mermaid finally got her groove back today!!! Yay! Girlfriend needs her beauty sleep. First thing on the…

Royal Gorge Bridge and Park

Royal Gorge Bridge and Park

Comments 1 comment

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…
