One of the highlights of our recent road trip was visiting the Grand Canyon for the very first time. Since we were driving in via Mesquite, Nevada, we headed toward the North Rim (which is the less-busy side) and absolutely fell in love. I would have loved to stay in the Grand Canyon for…
The Perfect Alabama Road Trip
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Alabama Tourism. The opinions and text are all mine. We’re still in the middle of our family’s summer road trip, so it should come as no surprise that we are big fans of the road trip vacation. Last year, I traveled to Alabama…
Horseback Riding – Jackson, Wyoming #PSF
One of the highlights of my summer was horseback riding with my 15-year-old daughter in the mountains near Jackson, Wyoming. Necco was not interested in white water rafting with the rest of the family, and I was more than happy to trade in a wet suit for a pair of jeans. There are a…
White Water Rafting on the Snake River #WW
When we passed through Jackson Hole, Wyoming, this summer, 5 of the 7 of us went white water rafting on the Snake River (the other 2 of us went horse back riding, which I’ll be sharing very soon, I promise!). Everyone had a blast rafting. Although they couldn’t have cameras on the raft, I…
Yellowstone National Park #PSF
It’s hard to believe that I am still going through pictures from this summer’s trip. I suppose this is what happens when the 6-week-long road trip ends the day before school starts. We jumped right in to the fall routine and haven’t had a real chance to recover from the travel. Or maybe it’s…
Grand Teton National Park #WW
It has been 2 months now since our cross-country trek from Maryland to Utah (it’s hard to believe it has been that long!) and I am STILL going through photos from our trip for the first time. The beauty and majesty of the Tetons are almost indescribable. I had to hold myself back from…
Devils Tower National Monument – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
It feels like a lifetime since we stopped at Devils Tower in Wyoming. My husband has wanted to see Devil’s Tower in person since he was a kid who loved the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and it just happened to be on the road between Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone as we…
100% All-Natural Family Adventure #GCFLnofilter
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gulf County, Florida for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. As summer comes to a close and the kids head back to school, I am reminded why I love summer so much. Sleeping in, spending quality AND quantity time with family and friends, being…
Our Trip to Mount Rushmore #PSF – Give Me Your Best Shot
Mount Rushmore is one of those places that every American should make a point to see in person. It took us several days of driving to finally make it to South Dakota, but the time to find Mount Rushmore was worth the effort. I think that my favorite part of visiting Mount Rushmore was…
Nauvoo, Illinois, and Carthage Jail #PSF
I’ve been slowly working through my family’s cross-country road trip and all of the stops we made between Maryland and Utah. After visiting Kirtland, Ohio, we drove eat toward Nauvoo, Illinois, for another LDS Church History stop. Nauvoo was home to early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from late…
