By the fifth day of our Ring Road adventure in Iceland, we were starting to run out of clean clothes. We had known well before our trip that doing laundry on the Ring Road might be a challenge due to … Continue reading
Our fourth day on Iceland’s Ring Road was our most action-packed and favorite day (besides visiting a volcano on Day 1). The previous day, we had passed by several sights that were on our Ring Road must-see list because we … Continue reading
We started the third day of our Iceland Ring Road journey with the one and only activity/sight that hubby chose during our whole trip, Gígjagjá, aka Yoda Cave. I’m very much a planner, whereas hubby is laid back and likes … Continue reading
On the second day of our Ring Road trip in Iceland, we awoke eager to see what our first campsite looked like in the daylight. The previous day we got a bit carried away and spent over six hours visiting … Continue reading
After booking our August trip to Iceland, we spent several months not knowing whether we would get to see a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list item, an active volcano with lava! We had visited Iceland in 2018, and although the country is … Continue reading
Back in May, pandemic life had finally started to look less doom & gloom and the metaphorical rainbow at the end of the road was appearing when the COVID-19 vaccine came out. Hubby and I spent hours scouring for appointments … Continue reading
During the first few years of our relationship, hubby and I had an annual tradition to meet up with his dad and sister to camp over the Easter weekend. It was one of the few times we would all get … Continue reading
When given the choice between Colorado or Utah for hubby’s upcoming birthday trip in March, hubby was quick to choose Utah. He had already gone stir crazy for months during the fall and winter from not being able to take … Continue reading
It’s currently springtime in Denver, but we just had one of our usual (and surely not last) spring snow storms, so what better time to have a quick flashback to our snowy white Christmas camping adventure. We knew our Christmas … Continue reading
When it comes to seeing incredible sights in Colorado backcountry, hubby and I are usually pretty reasonable and prefer not to risk life and limb. You won’t find us doing risky climbs/hikes, but occasionally, we’ll go the extra mile if … Continue reading
In mid-October, we decided to get one more camping trip in the books (our 12th of the year!) before we put our camping gear in hibernation for the season. Although the trees in our own yard had not received the … Continue reading
Peak fall color in Colorado varies every year. Sometimes it’s mid-September and sometimes it’s late September. After venturing out for our camping trip to Leadville the weekend prior to this one (the last weekend of September), we found out we … Continue reading
Quick disclaimer: Fall is not my favorite time of year. This feels like blasphemy to say in Colorado, where everyone seems to be infatuated with fall and flocks to the mountains in search of pockets of fall color. It’s impossible … Continue reading
After our week-long southern Colorado vacation, we took some time off from outdoor adventuring… but only five work days (ha!!) because we were coming to the start of leaf peeping season, and although the first weekend of September is usually … Continue reading
The wildfire smoke was so bad on the sixth day of our southern Colorado trip that we expected the seventh day to be no less worse. Shockingly, we woke up on the seventh day to this view: As excited as … Continue reading
