There is so much to do on the gulf coast of Florida. It’s hard to chose between sunset cruises, dolphin cruises, and all the different beaches. Finally we decided to take the shuttle over to Shell Key Preserve. The shuttle picks you up at Pass-a-Grille in St Pete Beach. We took the 10 am shuttle […]
Emerald Lake Trail, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, US
Coyote Valley Trail, Rocky Mountain National Park
The Coyote Valley Trail is one of the easy meadow trails in the Kawuneeche Valley. Kawuneeche is the Arapahoe word for coyote because there have historically been a lot of coyotes in the valley. There are pit restrooms at the trail head. The trail is fairly heavily trafficked and sometimes in summer the parking lot […]
Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park
Blue Spring State Park, Florida
Colorado River Trail, Rocky Mountain National Park
A Quick Visit to Everglades National Park
A Day Trip to Abalone Cove Shoreline Park
A Week in Venice Beach, CA
Venice Beach is definitely not one of the cheaper places you can visit. Even a lower end AirBnb is about $120/night, and that is for a very small studio apartment five blocks from the boardwalk. But surprisingly Venice beach itself is affordable and there is a ton of free stuff to do right there on […]

Four Days in Rocky Mountain National Park

Solo Trip to Disney and Universal Orlando Theme Parks
Biscuit Basin, Mystic Falls, Old Faithful in Yellowstone NP
Biscuit Basin, Mystic Falls, Old Faithful, and Hayden Valley There is so much to see at Yellowstone it’s hard to decide what to prioritize. I think Biscuit Basin is a must-see destination. I wanted to see Sapphire Pool really bad. We walked all around the boardwalk area and looked at all the geysers and springs. […]

Hogsmeade, Universal’s Islands of Adventure
Our first full day of vacation we went to Islands of Adventure! It’s one of our favorite Orlando parks. First we went on Hulk and Spiderman and then we went to Hogsmeade! The first thing we always do is ride Forbidden Journey. We love that ride. My favorite part is the Quidditch ride through the […]
The new Diagon Alley in Universal Orlando
A Day at Discovery Cove
Discovery Cove has been our favorite Orlando-area park since the first time we visited. The first time we visited was the only time we did the dolphin swim. We have been back twice for the resort day, most recently March of 2016 during spring break, the week right before Easter. This was the best decision […]
