july stuff. twentytwentyfive.

Posted on July 31, 2025August 21, 2025by sarah

holden beach, party of four.

Posted on July 27, 2025August 19, 2025by sarah

we had a really busy summer and it almost looked like we weren’t going to be able to squeeze a beach trip in, but we had one available long weekend and managed to book a little airbnb at holden beach for an annual dose of salt, sand and sun, just before the school year starting […]

summer beach trip. first days.

Posted on July 21, 2024January 25, 2025by sarah

Posted on August 9, 2023October 12, 2023by sarah

while we would have liked to have slept in on our first morning in the campervan, a snorkeling appointment was on the books, so instead we were up bright and early and ready for another day of adventures. but first. coffee. getting geared up for snorkeling was quite an ordeal. turns out, when you’re planning […]

flume gorge and the basin
franconia notch state park

Posted on July 18, 2023August 6, 2023by sarah

our first order of business in the white mountains of new hampshire was the flume gorge in franconia notch state park. it was sort of similar to the ausable chasm hike we had gone on in the adirondacks, both in expense ($$$$) and length and strenuousness. and since that hike was a raging success amongst […]

week one. batavia.

Posted on July 6, 2023August 3, 2023by sarah

summer in north carolina is super dumb. hot. humid. and dumb. this year, we escaped much of said dumbness by heading north for most of july. our first stop on the road trip took us to my homeland of batavia, new york. we piled into the subaru, which feels smaller and smaller each summer, but […]

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 […]
