2022-03-23 One Blog Post to Rule Them All…
Spoiler alert: This will be my last post for the foreseeable future. And it is a long one. A lot has happened in my life these past 5 years and much of it has been captured in the virtual pages of this space. I created this blog in 2017 when I was literally on the…

2022-02-11 SMA Road Trip Day 5: A Mammoth Day 🦣🦣🦣
We left our Airbnb before the sun was up. Unfortunately, we’d set ourselves up with tickets for a tour at Mammoth Cave in Kentucky at 1PM making our timeline extremely tight. Yup. Another, no coffee, no bathroom morning. Another 4 hours full of anxiety over having four minutes to spare. Or so We thought. About…

2022-02-10 SMA Road Trip Day 4: More Exploring
We were up again with the sun yesterday. There were quite a few Smokey Mountain stops on our list that we either didn’t see signs for or that were on a different road through the park altogether so the goal was just to see more. Truthfully, we were kind of feeling hiked-out from the previous…

2022-02-06 SMA Road Trip Day 0 Continued: The St. Louis Arch
Yesterday we had to push real hard to make our 4:30 ticket time at the Saint Louis arch. We planned to leave home around 9 but became delayed, as is often the case, with all the last minute stuff at the house. I was supremely disappointed as we got on the road and was told…

2022-02-05 SMA Road Trip Day 0: Ready, Set, Go!… 💃
Today my love and I are skipping out of this popsicle town. Our bags are packed. Our minds are right (mostly) and we have 7 hours to make it to our first stop, Saint Louis, for our 4:30 Arch tour. I had a shit night sleep mostly because I was up late with said packing…
