The photo in the bottom right corner is the view from our campsite. I couldn’t believe how beautiful our random little pullout spot was. 🙂 We spent a very enjoyable day poking around the funny city of San Francisco. We crawled over historic ships in the marina and visited the sourdough bakery. We orderedContinue reading “San Francisco”

THE CRACK! St George
Can you believe we crawled up through this thing? We survived the crack of St George! I think Google Maps knows it as “The St George Narrows.” It was fun to show Tyler this little treasure I learned from my old high school cross country days. I suppose you just start gathering cool places toContinue reading “THE CRACK! St George”
Bryce Canyon National Park
Exploring Bryce Canyon was the greatest! We loved wandering through the hoodoos. Mostly we love joking around together. It’s so amazing how the pillars just form like that! We felt like tiny ants in a farm scootching along the bottom. Tip: Even though Bryce Canyon is a desert, its elevation is pretty high and itContinue reading “Bryce Canyon National Park”
Washington DC
Biking through DC was surreal! Floating through and around those beautiful monuments and memorials felt almost transcendent. I thought about what each one meant and all the people involved. The bike made it feel like my own breezy, contemplative world. I’m so thankful for all those incredible people who pushed the edge of possibilityContinue reading “Washington DC”
NYC!
We explored New York like a jungle. Caught the ferry and got a good look at lady liberty herself. Times Square was full of many colorful signs and people just as colorful. It was so fun to be in such a hoppin, famous place! Jostling elbows and dodging chefs as they worked the fire ovens,Continue reading “NYC!”
Six flags New Jersey
This was by FAR the best six flags! Better than magic mountain. What makes this park so good, is they have a wide variety of coasters and rides. PLUS, they have an impressive safari experience that’s included with your entrance fee. It’s the best of both worlds. The worlds tallest roller coaster is also here–kingdaContinue reading “Six flags New Jersey”
Six Flags Maryland
Check out this coaster! We couldn’t figure it out. Supposedly some kid broke his neck on it once. We did this entire six flags in two hours and did some rides several times. The place was deserted–so we took full advantage. In the morning we went to Ft McHenry and had a good timeContinue reading “Six Flags Maryland”
Macaw clay lick, Tambopata
Going to this clay lick was possibly one of my favorite things I have ever done. It seemed like the whole sky was made of rainbow feathers. Flocks of red and green, yellow and blue macaws soared past–like a living prism. A gang of toucans came through chirping loudly. I was the first to spotContinue reading “Macaw clay lick, Tambopata”
Wayne’s Wonderland, Capitol Reef
We had the BEST time Canyoneering today! Wayne’s wonderland in capitol reef had a 200 foot rappel that got my heart pumping pretty good! I love crawling through the narrow windy maze that somehow has a way down every time– even when it seems impossible. I like it best when Tyler holds his hand outContinue reading “Wayne’s Wonderland, Capitol Reef”
Teton National Park
Majestic Backpacking up into Death Canyon in Teton National Park was surreal it was so beautiful! These are shots from our day hike through forests of wildflowers. Reds, purples, blues, yellows, and oranges made our narrow dirt path into a jungle as we crossed creeks creating rivers. Our hammock nap was nothing short of tranquil.Continue reading “Teton National Park”
