spring break 2023
the longest hardest hike.

Posted on April 7, 2023April 25, 2023by sarah

as has become standard over the years, we planned for one of the days of our spring break trip to be a big fat longer hike for me (and a much needed day of doing nothing for my people who enjoy doing nothing and derek who was a little under the weather for the whole […]

spring break 2023
bryson city day.

Posted on April 7, 2023April 24, 2023by sarah

spring break 2023.
wesser bald fire tower hike.

Posted on April 6, 2023April 24, 2023by sarah

spring break 2023…

Posted on April 6, 2023April 24, 2023by sarah

stone mountain with the best girl.

Posted on February 24, 2023April 16, 2023by sarah

on one particularly lovely day, it was determined by ruby and i, that we would go up to stone mountain for a hike. we had a fantastic time. the only thing that went wrong was we took a wrong turn at the beginning of the big loop, which meant we ascended mostly via stairs and […]

grandfather mountain hiking adventure.

Posted on October 29, 2022January 21, 2023by sarah

derek’s parents generously gifted us a weekend at a resort in blowing rock for the last weekend of october. my only request (demand) was that we plan one outdoor activity, and not just end up eating out and shopping the entire time. derek did the research and settled on a hike at grandfather mountain. before […]

Posted on July 27, 2022August 31, 2022by sarah

as previously mentioned, the weather for most of our atlantic beach week was pretty windy. for this reason, the big epic adventure we had planned kept getting postponed. but, finally, on our second to last day, we received word that our adventure was ON! what adventure, you ask? well, two-ish years ago, during a trip […]

Posted on April 28, 2021May 15, 2021by sarah

One day, not so long ago, I determined that I needed a little me time, so I booked a couple of nights at Hanging Rock State Park. I packed up the tent, my new camping love seat, and a hammock that Derek surprised me with for early mother’s day. Also some food and camping supplies, […]
