Sheepworld Warkworth New Zealand | New Zealand Sheep and Wool Centre | Auckland Day Trip Sheepworld

Sheepworld Warkworth New Zealand | New Zealand Sheep and Wool Centre | Auckland Day Trip Sheepworld

Did you know sheep farming had a significant impact of the development of New Zealand’s economy…and that to this day it’s an important agricultural business for the country?! After one visit to New Zealand you’ll even start to question if there are possibly more sheep than people living on these islands. (Rumor has it that yes there are quite a few more sheep than humans.) It’s quite possible that I have never seen more sheep in my life than I…

Honey Centre Warkworth New Zealand | Honey Tastings at Honey Centre | Auckland Day Trip

Why did the bee get married?!? Well..because he found his honey! Great joke I know. I got more of those if ya want em honey! Okay Okay all joking aside…While I was traveling New Zealand I noticed in Kiwi culture there seems to be a very high level of respect for the things like the environment, animals, being sustainable, having great ethics, and caring about what you consume. You can find a lot of organic, natural, and ethically produced food…

Cape Reinga New Zealand | Day Trip to Cape Reinga | Visiting Cape Reinga Lighthouse

Cape Reinga New Zealand | Day Trip to Cape Reinga | Visiting Cape Reinga Lighthouse

No vacation to the North Island of New Zealand is complete without a day trip to Cape Reinga. Located at the northern end of the North Island, Cape Reinga gives you the rare opportunity to see two large bodies of ocean water collide with one another. This is the point where the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea meet. And the lucky spectators here can witness the two currents fighting and pushing their way towards one another. The waves seeming to…

Oregon Coast Road Trip | Otter Rock | Depot Bay | Devil’s Punchbowl | Tillamook | Flying Dutchman Winery

Oregon Coast Road Trip | Otter Rock | Depot Bay | Devil’s Punchbowl | Tillamook | Flying Dutchman Winery

Well we knew we wouldn’t get through this whole trip without a lil rain. Anndddddd it’s here! Flood warnings, high wind advisory, the rain just won’t quit. We even got flagged down by a park ranger because a tree fell on the road! But stuff like this makes for the best travel stories. We haven’t stopped giggling since the rain started. So this is one thing I learned when I was really young….When you travel things NEVER go as planned….

Cape Perpetua | Siuslaw National Forest | Cook’s Chasm | Thor’s Well | Spouting Horn | Devil’s Churn

Cape Perpetua, in the Siuslaw National Forest was one of the most recommended spots, when I told people I was doing a coastal Oregon roadtrip. Here viewers have the pleasure of literally seeing nature at its best. You’re able to see multiple natural wonders in short walking distance. Including Cook’s Chasm, Spouting Horn, Devil’s Churn, and Thor’s Well. With names like that you know $h!+ is gonna be cray!!! You get a slight uneasy feeling in your gut when you’re…

Florence, Oregon | Oregon Coast Road Trip | Florence Oregon Coastal City | What To Do In Florence

Welp I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I love traveling with Lemon but she always makes a road trip (well actually any trip) slightly more difficult. And, Florence caused some puppy problems for us! As we drove to Florence we got online and reserved a room at the River House Inn. When we arrived a couple minutes later we were so excited about how cute the placed looked. The location was perfect, the best in the city…walking distance…

Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area | Oregon Sand Dunes | John Dellenback Dunes Trail

And all of a sudden I was in a desert…in Oregon?!? Approximately 40 miles of dunes to be exact. The largest coastal sand dunes in North America. We decided to do the John Dellenback Dunes trail, which is a pretty easy one-mile loop trail. When you reach the dunes you can run out and explore… then pick back up on the loop when your done making dunes angels! The hardest part of this hike is how much time you want…

Seven Magic Mountains

Seven Magic Mountains

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…

A Day in Zion National Park | Traveling to Zion National Park with A Dog

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…
