new river gorge day one.
sandstone and kate’s falls

Posted on June 13, 2022June 24, 2022by sarah

we have always wanted to visit new river gorge, but it’s so close that it’s one of those places you just keep putting off until another time. then it became an official national park, so we pushed it up the list, and finally made it happen this summer, basically the minute school ended for the […]

(quarantine with holden)

Posted on October 12, 2021October 12, 2021by sarah

after my time in covid jail, we had the girls tested twice, four days apart. and even though both times were negative and we hadn’t had anyone show covid symptoms, anna was still required by her school to quarantine for another full week. we decided the best course of action was to take a spontaneous […]

gateway arch *cough* national park *cough*

Posted on August 6, 2021October 2, 2021by sarah

the lidboms are adamantly opposed to the gateway arch’s recent upgrade to national park status. we think its a national monument at best. but that didn’t stop us from planning a visit while we were passing through st. louis. the museum and visitor center is pretty impressive. and like a fortress. we had to go […]
