Hubby mostly leaves the vacation planning up to me because he knows I like to research the mother lovin’ heck out of the places we visit in order to make a decision and his style of “planning” is more of … Continue reading
There are two holidays we loathe in our neighborhood: New Year’s Eve and Independence Day. One could guess fairly quickly that the thing these two holidays have in common is the noisy and annoying fireworks. Perhaps the illegal firework popping … Continue reading
While I usually start hinting to hubby about making plans for a trip for my birthday several months ahead of time, hubby is the exact opposite with his birthday. In fact, I often find that I am pestering him if/when/where … Continue reading
This post is extremely belated, but what better time to post about a snowy trip than when it’s September and still 90+ degrees with no end in sight of this melting temp madness! And spoiler alert: this post isn’t about … Continue reading
After Pie and I spent six days visiting waterfalls galore in Iceland, five days in the Faroe Islands seeing comical puffins, unique sea stacks and adorable grass-roofed houses, and two days in the most bike-friendly city in the world, Copenhagen, … Continue reading

Pie and I try to go camping in Colorado quite a bit from late spring to early autumn. It almost seems kind of silly that we go through all the trouble we do to pack up shelter, clothing, gear, food, … Continue reading

It’s midsummer and it shouldn’t come as a shock that the blog hasn’t seen much activity because hubby and I are in full swing of summer activities over here! We have been getting in every camping, hiking, and biking adventure … Continue reading
Pie and I weren’t sure what to expect when we visited Telluride for my birthday celebration in December. Our last trip to Telluride in 2016 for my birthday was one of the most memorable and amazing trips I had ever … Continue reading
