On our trip down to Charleston and Savannah we were tantalizingly close to a National Park, so we decided to amp up the crazy and stay in three separate locations during our seven day journey. No sweat, the road’s my middle name. Our final destination was the capital of South […]
March is probably my least favorite month in New York. Cold and snow are expected in December, January, February. By March, we’re over the hump of winter and you let your guard down when you get a few warm spring days, which are a total tease. Just when you think […]
Malasadas are an awesome Portuguese donut which became extremely popular in Hawaiian culture. If you’ve never had one, you must try! Our first time gorging on these tasty morsels was on the island of Oahu at Leonard’s, a bakery renowned for their fresh fantastic malasadas. When I heard about Punalu’u […]
Visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is simply a must when on the Big Island. It is incredible to be in the presence of an active volcano and such diverse awe inspiring nature. Pele the Hawaiian fire goddess lives here, so if you choose you can walk through a lava tube, […]
Possibly the most famous of the United States National Parks, the Grand Canyon is an American icon. How to spend a day here when you’ve dreamed about this place all your life? The image always runs through my head…a nuclear family on a warm sunny day in a Model T […]
The mountains are purple and rocks are rainbow swirled. No you are not in a Dr. Seuss book, you are visiting the one of a kind landscape at Petrified Forest National Park. The main draw of this park is the colorful petrified wood, however there is a lot more magic […]
Moab is a Mecca for the outdoorsy. Most flock to the national parks or state parks, it is easy to overlook the townie preserve. Scott M Matheson Wetland Preserve [820 Kane Creek Boulevard, Moab, UT 84532] is a vacation from your vacation. You won’t find admission fees or a crowd, […]
The town of Moab, Utah is beyond blessed to be surrounded by some of the most splendidly obscure sights on the planet. The area boasts two national parks, the well-known Arches and the more hushed Canyonlands. This perhaps is one of the charms of Canyonlands in my opinion, on our […]
Arches National Park is iconic, with all of the insane natural sights in Utah – Delicate Arch takes the license plate. Leaving the streets of Moab behind and climbing into the mountains, it won’t be long until alien monuments and the lovely La Sal mountains creep into view. Drive slow […]
We set off well before the sun came up down the icy road from Bryce Canyon. Our destination was Salt Lake City. It was a long road, way up north, over four hours, and the cold traveled with us on our November journey. When the sky began to lighten we […]
Bryce Canyon National Park was really weird, and I mean that in the best way possible. You may agree as you drive towards the park. Remember, remember, I traveled in November, and hey! We got blasted by a snowstorm. Bryce town has an elevation of 8,000 feet so it was […]
This November I went on an absurd road trip starting in Las Vegas, all the way around Utah, through Arizona and ending at the Grand Canyon. It was exhausting, it was glorious, and it was everything in between. Our first stop after Las Vegas was Zion National Park, two and […]
My most recent trip out west had a focus on National Parks. I flew into Las Vegas as a base to travel around Utah and head into Arizona. I spent two days and one night located in the Vegas area, and decided to make the trip into California and visit […]
When I told a friend I would be staying in the town of Joshua Tree he said, ‘Why? There’s nothing in the town but the park – stay in Palm Springs instead.’ I was nervous about my decision, had I made a mistake? As it turns out I visited both […]
