We played around with this swan for a while on our way out of Yellowstone and enjoyed the drive into the Tetons. Wow, the vistas in the Tetons are so impressive! We snagged some stamps for our National Park passport and somehow got into the park without paying?! We passed a pay booth on ourContinue reading “Yellowstone to Teton”

Drive out and sleeping under the stars.
We hit the road! Off to Yellowstone and a backpacking trip in the Tetons. Pizza on the way and free 7-11 slurpees. We stopped at REI to get our brand new packs fitted and found out that mine was a bit too big! So we drove to another REI and switched it out for aContinue reading “Drive out and sleeping under the stars.”
Yukkin’ it up in Yellowstone
We jut had a grand ol’ time in Yellowstone! Driving in was absolutely iconic–geysers going off and a huge buffalo running across the road. The unmistakable smell of hot pots took me right back to when we came when I was a kid. Old faithful did not disappoint as it shot off right on cue.Continue reading “Yukkin’ it up in Yellowstone”
The Narrows, Zion National Park
What a blast!! We took Eric and Rachel to the Narrows in Zion’s and it was incredible! I had never been there before and it was a magical place. The knee deep water felt awesome in the toasty weather. We jumped into and waterfalls. I love the feeling of standing between soaring restock canyon walls.Continue reading “The Narrows, Zion National Park”
Bonjour Six Flags Montreal!
We loved exploring this mini French world. Chocolate eclair at a breakfast bakery and she gave Tyler a free warm, flaky croissant. I sat there in that little cafe and Tyler walked past the window outside and came in and said hello–living out my favorite scene in We Bought A Zoo. I looooved it! 😌Continue reading “Bonjour Six Flags Montreal!”
Six flags Massachusetts
This six flags was SO So awesome! Some big big coasters. We loved the giant Superman ride and the cyclone steel & wood coaster. There were these swings that went Suuuuper high in the air–so high that a swing ride was actually intense. The humid heat was killer, but we didn’t care, we played anyway.Continue reading “Six flags Massachusetts”
Six Flags in Maryland
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 aContinue reading “Six Flags in Maryland”
Redwoods at Big Basin State Park
Incredible corners of the world California has so much to offer! We started our day tucked away up in the redwood forest. Walking alongside these ancient beings is both sombering and edifying. You exit a redwood forest a different person than when you went in. In the early morning, I went on one of theContinue reading “Redwoods at Big Basin State Park”
Big Sur State Park
Highway 1 The drive down highway 1 along the coast of California is legendary for a reason! Winding high above the crashing surf where we spotted whales breaching, it crosses soaring bridges and skirts along waterfalls and winds through regal redwood groves. It was breathtaking. Often Tyler would shout “Whale!” and we’d pull over andContinue reading “Big Sur State Park”
California, Six Flags Magic Mountain
I thought I had ridden some big coasters… but nothing like these! Literally throwing me for a loop, I ended up pounding Dramamine to keep my stomach under control. But I LOVED the thrill! Each time I locked into a new ride, I freaked out a little cause I didn’t know what was coming! MyContinue reading “California, Six Flags Magic Mountain”
