"Let us go on and take the adventures that shall fall to us." ~C.S. Lewis
It was our last morning and we were looking at a day of driving to get back home. Alabama had proved a fun weekend and we were hesitant to have it end. We were following our route from the last few day on a map of the Mobile Bay and Brad points to a spot [...]
There is something really special about the end of a year and the letting go of one year and looking forward to the next. I love these days after Christmas and before the end of the year comes. For me it is such a reflective and tender time when I look back and marvel at [...]
This week, Brad and I are celebrating 3 years of the wild adventure called marriage. In that time we moved from Utah to Florida, became expert Disneyworld patrons, saw every part of the Space Coast, got evacuated with Hurricane Dorian, moved from Florida to Tennessee in the middle of a pandemic, bought a house, and [...]
During our weekend at Universal Studios we decided to take a day off from the thrills of the theme park and instead enjoy some watery fun at the the water park Volcano Bay. For all the times we visited the theme parks while we lived in Florida, we never made it over to this water [...]
At the beginning of 2020 we were living in Florida and had bought tickets on Allegiant to go and visit my in-laws in Missouri. But then Covid happened so we canceled our trip. We were given vouchers to use and have been sitting on them ever since. We went back and forth over and over [...]
Childhood for me consisted of a lot of Star Wars. My brother and I had epic light saber battles on the couch that usually ended in injury and vehement cries of retribution. We constantly argued over tactics of the Rebellion and made fun of the storm troopers in their goofy uniforms. We watched with bated [...]
One of my big regrets from our time in Florida is that we never made it down to the national parks while we were there. Florida has three national parks, all of which are down near the southern tip of the state. I had the opportunity to visit Everglades National Park a few years ago [...]
Whew, what a year it has been right! This has been a hard year, there's no question about it. It has been hard on everyone for different reasons- no one has not been affected in some form or fashion this year. And if you're like me, you may be feeling a little apprehensive about what [...]
I love that Florida has so many state parks to explore! Today we made our way north so we could visit the Fort Clinch State Park on Amelia Island. This is a favorite destination for a lot of people and I can see why. It is full of wonderful walking trails that weave through the [...]
Amelia Island is one of the prettiest places in Florida. And the historic district of Fernandina Beach makes for a lovely drive. It was the last Spanish settlement in the western hemisphere established in 1811 and is now listed on the National Historic Districts of the country. Beautiful houses line the streets with large green [...]
