Yosemite... Where do I even start? In the span of the two days we spent in this park- during this trip, I experience by far the worst moment, and best moment of my life. It started with the worst: We arrived, and decided to go on a small hike. The man at the entrance booth told us to stroll around these big tree's- about a 2 mile hike. So we park the car, get out and start walking around. 2 Miles isn't that far right? I don’t know where we went wrong but somehow, we ended up on a trail trying to find a “Fallen Tunnel Tree”. In my mind, I was thinking a giant tree fell, and it was in the path, so they hollowed out the tree, making it a tunnel. Sounds pretty damn ... read more

The Grand Canyon! It's marvelous and scary if you are afraid of heights. We only stayed for a short period of time. My husband wanted to ride a damn mule, so we did. We booked through the Mule Rides company, and they were very professional. It was a good time. I will say, the mule gets way to close to the edge for my comfort, and two hours is a really long time to have hard back bones digging into your bottom. It hurt to sit for 4 days afterwards! Maybe I was riding it wrong, but I found it extremely painful. I will also mention I am afraid of horses/mules/ponies, whatever. The things we do for our spouses, right? I will also comment, its as hard to get pictures here. The SLR only wanted to ... read more

Matt and I decided to try volunteering abroad. We booked through goeco.org. Our paris trip was just a pit stop with Africa being the destination. Here is my journal of the entire trip. Monday, 1/20/14 When we got off the Airbus, we were seriously pressed for time. The airplane arrived 15 minutes late so we were left with one hour to check in through customs, pick up our luggage, and get through security. When we got off the plane, the customs line was super long. We stood in it for about 45 minutes. I knew at that point we would miss our flight. I kept looking for an employee to help us jump the line, but I couldn’t find anyone to ask. There were no employees around trying to help speed up the process. When we ... read more

I'm an aerialist. The only thing I love as much as hanging upside down, is traveling. I recently signed up to compete, and am learning its pretty rough on my body... so I decided I needed a hobby that isn't physical. My husband suggested that I blog about our travels, so here I am. 2012: Marriage... Wedding- so expensive :( and what comes after? another expensive thing, a honeymoon. Luckily my gracious mother helped us pay for our honeymoon. 5 days in Couples Negril. Because I am going back in time and blogging about historical trips we have taken, I can easily say what I would do different, based on my experience of many trips after. Negril was beautiful. The hotel was amazing. The staff was amazing. The food was to die for. Alcohol unlimited? Hell ... read more
