Thanks for visiting!
June 20, 2015The final park and leg of our vacation is Zion National Park. We were out the door around 7:30a.m. and with a short 5 minute drive (and about the same amount of wait to get into the park) we were parked at the visitor's center and ready to hop the…
June 20, 2015Today's national park was Bryce Canyon. It was a cool day that I don't think got above 62 degrees, which is great hiking weather. The first hike we did was a 3 mile hike into the canyon. The canyon was so beautiful. Every corner you turned there was another amazing…- June 13, 2015We woke up to cool, cloudy day. Although the grey clouds are disappointing for photography, it does make excellent hiking weather. After a short stop at Arches National Park visitor's center, we went directly to the Delicate arch. With the anticipation of rain, we wanted to make sure we were…
- June 11, 2015So in the last blog post I said I set the alarm for 6:00a.m. right? Well it was 6:00a.m. in Wisconsin, but unfortunately my phone was not set for auto update of date and time, so when the alarm went off it was really 7:00a.m. Fail! We got ready in…
- June 10, 2015We headed out this morning towards the Four Corners where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah meet. The Four Corners Monument is the only place in the United States where four states share the same border and simply makes for a photo op. We took our turns and captured pictures…
- June 9, 2015Our day began very early. We got up at 4:00a.m. and headed to the Grand Canyon to watch the sunrise. It was a brisk 37 degrees as we headed out. We joined a small crowd of people and enjoyed the peace and serenity of watching a new day form. The…
June 8, 2015We're off on another adventure! This time we are travelling with my sister, Jen, and her husband Tom, along with our niece and nephew, Beth (9) and Sean (11) on what I'm calling the National Parks Vacation. We are flying into Las Vegas and heading to the Hoover Dam, Grand…
February 22, 2015The week has gone by fast and it was already time to return to Oahu. After another good breakfast at the Kilauea Military Camp cafeteria we made our way back to Hilo to catch our flight to Honolulu. As we waited in the airport I used a new app that…
February 19, 2015After having several early mornings over the past few days, we decided it would be nice to sleep in a little so we set the alarm for 8:00a.m. Unfortunately my body still woke be up before the alarm, so I was up at 7:30 and set out to start typing…
February 18, 2015Today is helicopter adventure day! It's about an hour drive from our lodging to Hilo so we were up and off early to head to the airport. We were taking a smaller helicopter and the doors were coming off! Tom and I sat in the back while the pilot and…
February 17, 2015Our flight to the Big Island of Hawaii was at 6:00a.m. so it was another early morning for us, but in reality I was up before my alarm anyway. Perhaps it was part of the anticipation of a new adventure, or perhaps it was my body thinking it was still…- February 16, 2015Every now and again, the military affords us opportunites to catch a ride if it's going on a mission and there is space available. We are so fortunate that we were once again, we were able to catch a flight to Hawaii during another cold stretch of Wisconsin weather. Monday…
