I’m so excited to bring you along on another Texas State Park adventure. This time, my dog Audi and I took a girls-only day trip 1.5 hours west of Dallas to Lake Mineral Wells State Park. Once we passed Fort Worth it was clear that we were already in “cattle country” and endless ranches lined […]

The city of La Crosse sits along the Mississippi River on the state line between Wisconsin and Minnesota and is surrounded by wooded bluffs. It’s worth a stop if you’re driving the Great River Road.

This post is going to be a quick overview of Wild River State Park. It’s located along the St. Croix river about an hour north of Minneapolis.

The Tahquamenon Falls were the second to last stop on our 10-day road trip across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It’s one of the most popular attractions in the state and as a born and raised Michigander, I had somehow never been. We were coming off of a few days in a hotel in Marquette and it […]

We took advantage of this brief warm spell and headed out of the cities to do some hiking. St. Croix State […]

It’s the time of the year again, temperatures are dropping and everyone is flocking north to see the fall colors. We used last Saturday to head up to Lake Mille Lacs which about an hour and a half drive straight north from Minneapolis. It’s the second largest lake in the state and you can barely […]

For the past decade or so, I’ve taken a trip abroad every other year. I have a full-time job and a mortgage, every other year is just what’s doable for me. But in case you hadn’t heard, there is a global pandemic running around. Life has changed and we’ve done our best to adapt. Summer […]

To celebrate our two year dating anniversary, my boyfriend Glenn planned a surprise weekend away to Minnesota’s north shore. I’m usually the planner in the relationship but this time I let him take the reins. Most of the activities were a surprise but he’s one of those people who gets too excited about fun things […]
