Checking in…
So starting a travel blog shortly before a global pandemic was probably not my best idea but if we had crystal balls and could see into the future we’d do a lot of things differently… that being said I figured it was time for me to start posting again… To everyone who has read/visited my …
Life under COVID, changing perspectives…

For those of you unfamiliar with Ice Castles, they have 6 locations across North America where they build impressive ice structures. We went right after a warm stretch so …
Arizona Favorites – outside of Phoenix area
In my last post I covered our favorite places in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, this time I’m looking at our favorites outside the valley. Sedona – known for its picturesque Red Rocks, Sedona did not disappoint. We chose to take a day trip from Phoenix. It was an easy drive with good roads. You start in …
