The last 24 hours have been fun and hectic to kick off this Oregon road trip extravaganza! Couple reasons why… For anyone following the weather you know that Northern California has been getting hit hard with winter rain storms which has caused floods and a plethora of other lovely problems. I have two people (my mom and one of my best friends from college) and a Lemonhead (my dog duh) joining me on this trip. And don’t get me wrong I…

What good is the warmth of summer without the chill of winter! -John Steinbeck Being born and raised in Ohio I can tell you that when the first snow hits you go through what I refer to as a honeymoon stage of your relationship with winter. The snow looks beautiful, you get a smile on your face thinking about fireplaces and hot chocolate, you even tell yourself that it doesn’t feel “that” cold. Well I’m happy to report that I’m…

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…

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…

Happy Thanksgiving from Flagstaff!!!! The journey continues in this adorable A-frame cabin! Don’t ya just wanna get cozy up in here?!? Well you’re not the only one. American Eagle felt the same way that’s why they utilized the A-frame for a photo shoot last year. The image ended up on their shopping bags. Say what?!? 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…

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…
