Ahhh! So happy we’re actually officially on our Oregon adventure now. Exploring the Gold Beach and Brookings area. We are staying in the pet friendly cabins at Ireland’s Rustic Lodges. The cabins are just adorable. Comfortably fitting all four of us and we even have our own fireplace to keep us warm and cozy. The staff is extremely helpful and we only have to walk down a small path to be directly on the beach. After we ate breakfast at the…

And boy it didn’t disappoint….. Welcome to the other side of the rabbit hole my…

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…

Vegas Baby! Heading on home and I had no clue we’d be traveling through Vegas when we started this trip. But when I figured out it was totally on the way home,  I got super excited! A while ago I had heard about this desert artwork called Seven Magic Mountains. I’ve been wanting to go since.  I had this place on my bucket list and knew if I was driving through Vegas I had to stop here…especially since it’s only supposed…

Wow!!! This place simply takes my breath away. I wasn’t exactly planning on stopping at Zion National park. I thought it’d take a different route… then last minute I decided to go.  I’m so glad I did. I can’t fully describe how this place makes you feel but there is something magical in the air. Some kind of nature escape peacefulness  that I’ve never felt before! Once again the Tiny Monster limited things but that’s a okay with me cause…

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…

Ok car update. I noticed the tire pressure light on yesterday, after my off roading expedition and I decided I needed to take the rental to a local tire shop before leaving for the Grand Canyon. I also noticed that both front tires now had hub caps that didn’t exactly look how they did before. Uhoh!!!! Tire shop took a look. Both tires are fine, just had to get some air in the tires, phew! But the hub caps are…

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.
