Overnight Trip to Atlanta

I had never bought a vehicle without seeing it, test driving it, and in general fretting about the details until we bought our first GMC Sierra AT4 in Atlanta. Yes, you read that right: the first one we bought. We actually did get to test drive the second one we bought in Pittsburgh, but IContinue reading “Overnight Trip to Atlanta”

5 Years of Marriage, a Lifetime of Memories

I knew early on in our relationship that I’d found my travel partner in Will. Our first Christmas together, I bought him (a map guy) a map of the US that we could scratch off each state as we visited together, with a goal of seeing all 50 states together. Never did I imagine thatContinue reading “5 Years of Marriage, a Lifetime of Memories”

Giving Ourselves Grace and Breathing, Georgia

For us, camp hosting is a unique time in our adventure when we are stationary for a big chunk of time. This 3-month stay in north Georgia far surpasses any length of time we have stayed in one place since we began this adventure. It also means we are stationary long enough for family toContinue reading “Giving Ourselves Grace and Breathing, Georgia”

I Did Not Want to Go Paddleboarding, Florida River, Florida

Going paddleboarding was about the absolute last thing I wanted to do, yet there I was, standing next to the river, Will getting the paddleboard in the water and ready for me to go.

Celebrating Our Anniversary at the Top of Cinder Cone Volcano, Snow Canyon State Park, Utah

Our 4th wedding anniversary happened to fall during the week when Will’s parents were visiting. They were ecstatic to spend time with Bird, so we managed an evening getaway to Las Vegas early in the week and another amazing hike on the morning of our anniversary to celebrate. Since we found ourselves hiking without theContinue reading “Celebrating Our Anniversary at the Top of Cinder Cone Volcano, Snow Canyon State Park, Utah”

A Quiet Hike to Johnson Canyon, Snow Canyon State Park, Utah

For the first time since Bird came into our lives, Will and I were able to go on a hike just the 2 of us when his parents came for a visit in Utah. Will had explored some of the trails in Snow Canyon, but he had not gotten out nearly as much as IContinue reading “A Quiet Hike to Johnson Canyon, Snow Canyon State Park, Utah”

Navigating More than the Trail in Hanging Rock State Park

Reaching the summit of Hanging Rock was in many ways an act of God. And we arrived at the top at the exact moment He intended us to, as our 15 minutes exploring the rock outcroppings and enjoying the beautiful and breathtaking views were secondary to the way our hearts and spirits were moved throughContinue reading “Navigating More than the Trail in Hanging Rock State Park”
