The drive from the Grand Canyon to Winslow is as desolate as it gets. Once we got through Flagstaff, the trees fell away and the desert stretched to the horizon, interrupted only periodically by random rock formations and jagged hills. We got to Meteor Crater in about 2 hours. The wind was howling over the
There’s nothing like a hike on Bright Angel Train to remind you how out of shape you’ve gotten. We started early in the morning on Tuesday, June 2, at about 7:30. We took the shuttle bus from Yavapai Lodge right to the trailhead. The shuttle at the canyon is really awesome. There are three lines
This was one of my favorite days of the trip. We left Monument Valley early and drove to Antelope Canyon outside the city of Page. Dad had arranged a special guided tour of the slot canyon. It was specifically for photographers, so they required each individual person have their own DSLR and tripod (neither of
Last week, my dad and I took a trip to Arizona to visit Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon, and Sedona. We flew in to Phoenix and then drove north, making a few pit stops along the way. Our first stop was at Chilleen’s on 17, a restaurant featured on Bar Rescue that my dad wanted
Last May, my mom moved to DC. She got a new job with the Department of Veteran’s Affairs. It was an opportunity she couldn’t turn down, so just a few months after Mike and I moved to Hampton Roads, she relocated three hours north. Mike and I went to visit early in the summer. He’d
We took our annual week-long trip to Snowshoe, WV over New Years. There wasn’t any snow on the ground but the slope conditions were pretty good.

On Sunday Mike and I met my Dad to explore the Nauticus Museum and Battleship Wisconsin. The Battleship is berthed in downtown Norfolk. We explored the massive ship and also the maritime and naval museums in the adjacent building. Going anywhere with my Dad is like having a free tour guide – he knows a
Sometimes I forget how easy it is to go exploring. I don’t have to drive for several hours to find some place new. Hitchcock Woods is essentially in our backyard and every time I go it’s different. Last time I was in the woods was when Megan came to visit. Sunday afternoon I took Bella
After our mini adventure in Frankenmuth, we kept heading north on I-75 until we got to the town of Bay City. I just didn’t feel right driving all the way to Michigan and not seeing one of the Great Lakes. We stopped in Bay City because I needed ice cream. Then we got back in
Did you guys know Christmas is my favorite holiday? When I found out about Bronner’s I knew I couldn’t leave Michigan without visiting. I didn’t think it was going to be possible because initially I thought it was just too far from where we were staying. But after some sleuthing on MapQuest I realized
