after our weekend of exploring glacier by car and boat, i was very excited to do some hiking. but, a lot of the hikes were too long to do with the kids. and the ones that weren’t, we wanted to save for the weekend to do with derek. also, we had moved the camper 4 […]

grand tetons.mormon row, death canyon, string lake 2.0

welcome to part two of my grand teton adventures blog. i’m going to cram in a lot, so get ready. without further ado… we kicked off our tuesday (at 1:30pm) with a trip to mormon row. it’s a little abandoned settlement that sits on the national park property and has some old barns that make […]
grand tetons.our (epic) campsite.

for our trip to grand teton national park, derek had found us a sweet boondocking spot, just outside of the park, in bridger-teton national forest. it’s public land, so it’s free, but without any hookups. it would be our longest such adventure. we rolled in friday evening, where a cluster of campers were situated on […]
yellowstone.canyons and the rest.

let’s see. when i left off, we were still at yellowstone, having completed an epic day at grand prismatic and old faithful. the rest of our time there was a little more laid back and/or disappointing, so i’m cramming it all into this post. (and as for the long blog break, we were without good […]
single mom week in utah.

after our long, boring week in duchesne, utah, we made our way to heber city, just outside of salt lake city. we needed to be near an airport, so derek could fly out for work for the week. derek put us up in a fancy pants rv park with all the best amenities, and close […]
middle-of-nowhere, utah.

after our dinosaur national monument weekend, we headed down the road a bit to a campground just outside duchesne, utah. there was very little to do in the area. we took it as an opportunity to lay low, regroup, and get back into a bit of a routine. once we were settled in, we got […]
denver-ish week.

sorry for the slacktitude in posting. we had a pretty busy week visiting friends and family in denver. then we were with family (and without computer) in vail. and now we are in rifle, colorado, with terrible internet, so uploading pictures takes a backseat to derek getting to do his job. he went in town […]
colorado springs, the downtime.

our two weeks in colorado springs were some of our favorites. we went on a lot of adventures and i got to see a couple of old friends. we kept busy enough that my official “downtime” post is even more boring than usual. we settled in on saturday and kicked off our adventures on the […]
the house of eternal return. (meow wolf).

when we were in albuquerque, at the science museum, i found myself chatting with on of the employees about our trip. when i told her we were heading to santa fe, she told us about a place that hadn’t popped onto my radar in my internet searches, called meow wolf. she said it was a […]
santa fe. with friends and family.

we just finished up a whirlwind week in santa fe, where my mom and terry flew in to stay with their friend david/dash, who moved away from their hood a few years ago. we met them saturday and quickly made our way to the plaza in downtown santa fe. we were pretty much starving, so […]
