KEEP ADVENTURING!
The San Juan Islands have become a big time destination for travelers, and not just locals to the Pacific Northwest. People are flocking here from all over to get a sense of what our boating/island life is like while enjoying the Northwest culture and food. Many of the islands can be easily accessed via ferry...

I consider myself a big proponent of encouraging people to get outside and enjoy nature. It is good for us. It teaches us things. It slows us down and we build better connections. One great place to experience this is at our National Parks. Yosemite was our first national park and Yellowstone was the first... Continue Reading →

It was 106 degrees that day and we had some errands to run in town before setting off for Zion national Park and Watchman Campground. The drive into the park from Hurricane was absolutely stunning. This was my... Continue Reading →

A few of the days early on were visits to friends along the way, otherwise it was all road tripping! Here is what our trip looked like. Day... Continue Reading →
I love to read and as the mother of a relatively young child, it can really be a luxury when I get the chance to sit down and become engrossed in a book. Right now I might get a page or two read here and there while attending swimming or violin lessons. I sneak in... Continue Reading →
