The Colorado in Freshly Fallen Snow

 

The North Maine Woods – Days 6, 7, & 8

Day 6 – Exploring Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park Waking up in Bar Harbor was wonderful. We made some breakfast and got ready for our day before hopping on the 9:40 AM shuttle bus into Bar Harbor. We spent the morning walking around and visiting a few shops, including the Bar Harbor Tea Company

The North Maine Woods – Days 3, 4 & 5

Day 3 – Closing the Gap on the North Maine Woods Day three started out by eating breakfast, packing up, and taking showers. Every day that we stayed in a place with a bath house we made sure to take showers right before leaving. We never knew if the next place we camped would have

The North Maine Woods – Days 1 & 2

As most of you know, Jake and I like to go on adventures and this year was no exception. After purchasing our Colorado and rooftop tent we wanted to do something that not many people have done before. We decided to head to The North Maine Woods and do a bit of off-roading to get

Off-Roading Flagpole Knob, Virginia

Since purchasing our 2017 Chevy Colorado Duramax Z71 CCSB, we have been taking her off road on a few adventures. One of the first trips was on Flagpole Knob, Virginia, just west of Bridgewater right on the Virginia and West Virginia boarders. The Flagpole Knob trail is known for its rocky terrain and is impassable

Days Four & Five: Playa del Carmen, Mexico October 28 – November 4, 2017

Day Four Day Four of our Mexican adventure was dedicated strictly to the beach! The weather had been amazing every single day since we had arrived, so it was time for a beach day. Our friends who were getting married had the Presidential Suite, so they were able to grab us a few cabanas right

Day Three : Playa del Carmen, Mexico October 28 – November 4, 2017

We were up bright and early, with not a cloud in the sky, and ready for our adventure to Tulum, Grand Cenote, and Coba!!! Our van picked us up “almost” on time at 8 AM, and it was a full bus load. After picking up one other couple, and the van was at max capacity,

Days One & Two: Playa del Carmen, Mexico October 28 – November 4, 2017

Day One I cannot tell you how excited I had been for this trip. I had not had a vacation in more than a year, so a break and some TLC was definitely needed FOR SURE! Mind you the only real reason we are going to Cancun this year is because of two of our

Busch Gardens Williamsburg Christmas Town, December 16, 2107

I have always loved Christmas, a great trait I inherited from my dad no doubt. The festive decorations, the lights, the peppermint hot chocolate, decorating the Christmas tree, enjoying time with family, etc. I have a new little niece to celebrate with this year as well, so I am super excited to enjoy spending some

Dolly Sods Wilderness, West Virginia

Out in West Virginia, on the Allegheny Plateau, lies 17,776 acres of an ecosystem that you would normally find in Northern Canada, known as Dolly Sods Wilderness. For Jake’s 30th birthday, he decided he wanted to backpack through the wetlands, the sweeping vistas, and the very (very!) rocky plains. On Friday, Jake and I started our journey out

Ride to Poolesville, MD and Shepherdstown, WV

Jake’s parents came up to visit us this past weekend, so we took the opportunity to take a ride. It was a hot day, and I mean HOT. We lathered up in some sunscreen, and made sure we had extra to bring with us. Once we made a few stops to stock up on ice,
