We woke up and were scrambling because we had to be on the road by 10 to hit our ferry in time. Blake was supposed to come down and meet me for breakfast but I couldn’t find him so I got frustrated and he didn’t want to talk to the waitress when I had to…
Rusty and I got a little staycation when the boys went to FSY this summer. The Nuggets were playing for the Championship on Monday, June 12. Rusty and I had been watching ticket prices during the playoffs, and prices always dropped just after the game started. So we decided to try our luck. At the…
Hi everyone! It’s Josh. The final day of our Southern States road trip was a ton of fun, and was probably my favorite out of the whole trip. We stated the day with a bit of a sleep in, intentionally skipped breakfast, and then headed over to Mrs. Wilkes, a southern homestyle dining restaurant. Mrs….
This was kind of a hectic trip. And NYC felt more gritty than it usually does. I didn’t really notice that in April, but maybe that’s because the weather was bad? We were also all pretty tired. It was hard to muster the energy the city requires. We didn’t really have many plans going in….
We all took melatonin and used a sleep mask and ear plugs. We slept a full 11 hours! It was amazing. We made eggs and bacon for breakfast and left our little cabin behind. We all wish we could have stayed one more day! We were ready for our first adventure, Glymur Waterfall. We drove…
Halle back again for our last day in NYC. We started out the day with a 9:30 “brunch” at Balthazar, which was pretty good but I don’t think anyones favorite. We then split up where Grace and Sarah went to walk the high line, and mom and I went to Macys to look for a…
Saturday brought the rain back with it. We ate breakfast at Black Seed bagel. Halle and I shared the most delicious cinnamon raisin bagel with homemade almond butter and jam. I wish they sold that almond butter. It was more like super finely chopped almonds than a smooth butter. I could have eaten a whole…
We decided to venture into the rain forest again today. This time we went in search of hanging bridges. The drive there was quite the adventure. We were on a small dirt road almost the entire time passing through small villages. Then up into the mountains on the steep windy roads. While we were hiking…
We hiked Gray’s and Torry’s Peak with Josh and co! Josh’s first 2 14ers and #2 and 3 for me! It was quite a challenge to get to the top for these boys. So, so steep. Josh was amazing! He was just like this mountain goat. He could scramble anywhere. When we got to the…
