Our Roadtrip to Istanbul and Back
We did it! We drove to Istanbul, Turkey this summer AND BACK. If you read my newsletter, I shared all the countries that were going to before we took on this adventure. But if you missed it, this was the plan: Belgrade, Serbia | two nights Plovdiv, Bulgaria | one night Istanbul, Turkey | three […]

California | Yosemite National Park, No.2
In all honesty, I could fill a few posts up with Yosemite. And we were only there for three days, so the amount of places we could have parked for a picnic and some rock throwing (from Ajax, obviously) is loads.
California | Yosemite National Park, No. 1
The mountains were calling, and we had to go.The rad thing about Yosemite, is that while you were up (some parts are 8000 feet above sea level) there were still views around you. It seems there way always something higher off in the horizon, and I dig that.
California | Point Lobos
Back on Father's Day, it's become our tradition to get diner pancakes and go on a hike. Our hike last year is still a favorite! And while I'm not the papa, I was more than excited to hike around Point Lobos!
The Royal Gorge Railroad’s Santa Express
the best Christmas experience around
New Mexico | ABQ International Balloon Fiesta
We did it! We made it to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta! If you didn't know, with almost 600 balloons, it is the largest ballooning event and the most photographed event on earth. It's a pretty big deal.
Colorado | Balloon Classic
A few weekends ago, Colorado Springs had their Balloon Classic and I was determined to be there for the send off on Saturday morning. Yes, it meant heading out the door before six am, but I was determined.
Colorado | Maroon Bells
I have to say, my expectations were pretty high for Maroon Bells. Not just because of everything that I had heard about it, but something about being in Aspen twice before and trying to see Maroon Bells both times without actually being able to get there upped the ante.
Colorado | Hanging Lake + Thoughts on Hiking
Hanging Lake was one of the places way up at the top on my list of things to do this summer in Colorado. To be honest, I didn't really know anything about the hike to get to there, I just knew at the end was Hanging Lake and that's what I wanted to see.
Packing | A Mountain Weekend Getaway
We planned a little mountain getaway back in the spring, but had to reschedule - mainly because it just wouldn't stop raining here in Colorado. But we finally headed up to the mountains this past weekend, and had an awesome time!
Exploring the Great Sand Dunes
Since moving to Colorado, my husband has had a list of 'Colorado Things' to do. This past weekend, he got to check one off his list. I knew about the Great Sand Dunes, but never looked up anything about them, so I didn't really know what to expect.
