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

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

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…

We’ve Arrived in Page, Arizona!

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…

Not just any Canyon my friends. We’re talking about the Grand Canyon!

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.

Yup, that’s the A-frame and why didn’t I get invited to that adorable holiday party!?!?  Ok, I’ll walk you through the cabin cause I never…

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…
