Another weekend has come and gone – and shockingly enough, I was out of town for another event… But as I always try to tell my staff and those I care about, you always have to find time for yourself – and on this 48 hour trip in and out of Phoenix I did just that! Flying into Sky-harbor International Airport (a trip that is … Continue reading Valley of the Sun – and Street Art!
The one thing that always draws me in when it comes to Southern California is the Ocean…. Yeah, Disney is great and all but there is nothing as refreshing and more connected to Mother Nature than the fresh ocean water. I’m finding my way in Northern California and I’m starting to find my go to swim spots. But if I get the chance to get … Continue reading Just Keep Swimming…
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Holiday Season – but today I needed to replace peppermint and pine scents with the fresh outdoors and turn down the Christmas music to hear the soundtrack of the oceans crashing against the shore. Living in San Jose puts us at the base of the Santa Cruz mountains and just minutes from the California Coast! This year I … Continue reading Santa Clause then Santa Cruz
Not all of my travels land me on mountain tops, deep into canyons or underwater. Some of my more domestic travel bring me to new cities which can be equally as exciting – without needing a packing list (or icy hot). I frequent Dallas Love Field airport multiple times a year – and I’m no stranger to Dallas Forth Worth International Airport either… But earlier … Continue reading Diving Deep (Ellum) into Dallas!
Just an hour out of Las Vegas is a State Park packed with climbing opportunities, Flintstone character and historical gold mines! I strongly suggest visiting Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada if you have an afternoon to kill while visiting or passing through Las Vegas! This small park had a ton of character and the more I research about it after our visit, the … Continue reading Valley of Fire State Park: Day 7
Three days in Zion National Park aren’t enough.. I loved every minute we spent in the park and will be counting down the days till I return. I got an amazing first time Zion experience and I am excited return in the near future – to give a few more of the sights and sounds more love and attention! On our third day in Zion … Continue reading Emerald Pools, Zion National Park: Day 6
Looking back at our trip – my only regret is that we didn’t spend an entire day in the Narrows! In Zion National Park, farthest tip of the canyon from the parks main entrance and it is also the most narrow (hence the name). The Virgin River runs through this narrow canyon which means you’re going to trek through water – which served as a … Continue reading The Narrows, Zion National Park: Day 5
Day 4 of our Road Trip kicked off our first day in Zion National Park! We were very lucky to know someone whose family had a BEAUTIFUL vacation home in St. George, Utah who offered us a place to stay for a our visit in Utah – an invitation we graciously accepted and continue to be grateful for! I strategically planned this day to be … Continue reading Angels Landing, Zion National Park: Day 4
Day three on our road trip was very very dry… But the landscape was amazing and the entire day felt like we were walking on a different planet! Hard to explain in words aside from “pretty awesome” so I’ll let the pictures and video do the talking! If you haven’t been to Death Valley or Furnace Creek – its totally worth a trip! And late … Continue reading Death Valley: Day 3
