state capital

  • the rambling road show

a trio of midwest capitols.

Posted on August 5, 2021October 2, 2021by sarah

as we trekked home across the midwest, we passed through (or slightly detoured to) the capital cities of several states, and stopped to for obligatory photos for #lidbomstatecapitaltour. these three brought our grand total to 27. firstly, lincoln nebraska. we stopped on our way to the homestead national monument. it was a pretty quick and […]

Posted on July 21, 2021September 30, 2021by sarah

whilst in torrington, we also made two wyoming based field trips. we were a little over an hour from cheyenne, so i figured we could kill a day by driving out to the capitol building. this was before i realized we would pass through cheyenne on our next travel day. oops. anyhow. we made the […]

from MN to (WI to MN to WI to MN to) ND.

Posted on June 19, 2021October 2, 2021by sarah

before we left the twin cities, and minnesota altogether, i was determined to squeeze in one more activity. derek had to work all day before he could make the journey to meet us in fargo, so we had quite a bit of time to kill. i settled on driving a little out of the way, […]

twin cities, partially explored.

Posted on June 18, 2021September 26, 2021by sarah

our next stop on our epic (not so)post pandemic summer road trip was the greater minneapolis-saint paul metropolis, where we had four days booked, with big plans to do lots of things. but, on our way in, some of the same brake issues from the way out of chicago resurfaced, so we would end up […]

travel day to south carolina…

Posted on April 12, 2021May 14, 2021by sarah

The Jamboree spent a long winter in hibernation awaiting her next adventure. Then, I was talking to some old fun road life friends about wanting to get down to check out Congaree National Park in South Carolina, sort of near them and the next thing I knew, we were camping at a state park for […]

lake tahoe with the grandlidboms.

Posted on July 25, 2018by sarah

it has been a LONG time since our last visit from the grandlidboms. we spent christmas in san diego with them, so it had been over six months by the time our lake tahoe visit rolled around, and the kids could barely contain themselves. we arrived and set up a little before they were able […]

sacramento-ish.

Posted on July 24, 2018July 25, 2018by sarah

here we go. another mad dash round of bloggy catch up. when i left off, had stopped to visit the jelly belly factory on our way from point reyes national seashore to a little spot just north of sacramento, in nicolaus, california. the place was a thousand trails campground, which usually means there’s not much […]

mesa miscellany. (plus some yuma).

Posted on January 17, 2018by sarah

when we parted ways with the grandlidboms, they headed back to nc, and we made our way to arizona. our first stop was in yuma, just across the border. we had a quick little stay in the front yard of a random strangers house, who we found via boondockerswelcome.com. (basically, it’s a subscription service that […]
