Before visiting Iceland, I had envisioned grey, foggy landscapes with volcanic rock covered in snow year-round and engraved with hot springs. While Iceland is famous for its hot springs and is indeed a sparsely populated country, its landscape is actually … Continue reading
When hubby and I decided that our next vacay should be one where we had to use our passports, I immediately had one place in mind that I had been drooling over from social media photos for several months: the … Continue reading
I’m ashamed to admit that I don’t blog very much about hiking adventures because hubby and I just don’t do very much hiking outside our adventurous vacation hikes. It’s kind of a shame we don’t hike very much these days … 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
Every summer, Pie’s company treats their employees to a weekend retreat in the mountains at the YMCA of the Rockies, located in Estes Park. My idea of a retreat certainly doesn’t involves kids or cafeteria food, but there is always … 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

Saturday, August 19, 2017 Fun fact: August 17th of our trip was actually hubby’s and my fourth year wedding anniversary. We were sharing our Hawaii trip with my brother and it felt kind of weird celebrating that day with him … Continue reading
Friday, August 18, 2017 Friday was the last day for my brother to see the sights on Kaua’i before leaving back home. Although I had really wanted to hike the Na’Pali Coast again on the Kalalau Trail, we simply didn’t … Continue reading
