Oahu, Hawaii
In June 2022, we had the amazing opportunity to travel to Oahu, Hawaii. This island was one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen. One thing we learned when preparing for our trip is that Hawaii requires reef-safe sunscreens (why isn’t this a thing everywhere?). We bought sunscreen before we flew to Hawaii, but…

Sioux Falls, SD | Mount Rushmore National Monument | Wind Cave National Park | Crazy Horse Memorial In 2022, we visited North and South Dakota.

Alaska
Princess Cruise Line | Inside Passage In 2019, we went on an Alaskan cruise, flying into Seattle. I have to say, if you don’t have the time to see every part of Alaska, a cruise is a great way to see parts of the state. Of course, you see the touristy parts, but you do…

Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado
Pagosa Springs | Durango | Silverton In 2017, we joined a few friends and rented a giant cabin in Pagosa Springs. It was gorgeous. The scenery, peaceful landscapes, and nature all around us was just what we needed after Jeff’s final deployment to Afghanistan. Mesa Verde National Park is amazing. It’s really incredible to think…
