After driving over 3200 miles across the country and taking a day to rest (and to do lots and lots of laundry) we thought it would be fun to take a “quick” 5 mile hike with the cousins. Let’s just say that 5 miles straight up and down a mountain is very different (and…

7 People, 7 Days, 3200 Miles #WW

July Blogging Prompts: Travel Edition #BlogPrompts
How did I miss the beginning of July? It wasn’t until a few days into last week that I realized I had missed my day for posting my monthly blog prompts. And then I figured that it’s summer and most of you are probably just as behind as I am. Since we’re packing up…
One Last Family Trip to Castle Park #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
As we prepare to load up the car and drive across the country to take my oldest daughter to college next week, we just HAD to make one last trip to Castle Park (our nickname for it, at least). Castle Park holds so many memories for us – it was a favorite of the…
