Moments & Misadventures :: A Few of the Other National Parks
There is no doubt about it-I love visiting national parks! All national parks have the same goal in mind of protecting and preserving places of rich natural beauty and historical significance.

Moments & Misadventures :: Between the Haves and Have Nots
We are in the season of Thanksgiving here in the states. While this holiday has changed over the years to include copious amounts of food, watching endless football games, and a frenzied shopping spree- at the heart of it has always been the reminder of being thankful for what we have. And for me one…

Moments & Misadventures :: Bourbon Street, Beignets, & Voodoo…I must be in NOLA
Without question one of the country’s best known party towns is New Orleans. This riotous town is full to the brim with intriguing places, cultural interests, and fantastic food.

Moments & Misadventures :: Snapshots From The Road

Ah, that special time in every traveler’s life when they get to experience a camel ride for the first time. By no means the most comfortable way to travel (I get saddle sore just thinking about it), it is still an experience that everyone should have at least once. Our group had been traversing through…

Moments & Misadventures : Take Me Back to the Black Hills
I drove through the Black Hills of South Dakota ready to soak up a beautiful day in this new to me part of the country. One day didn’t seem like nearly enough time, but one day is all I had and I was determined to make the most of it. Even though it was mid…

Moments & Misadventures :: Rio From the Bottom to the Top
A cool morning dawned upon Rio de Janeiro and I looked out from our hotel window onto the beautiful Copacabana Beach. It was August which meant Brazil’s wintertime, which felt like springtime in the states so the weather was perfect for exploring this beautiful city. The beach was quite peaceful with only a few beach…

Moments & Misadventures :: Frozen Zion
It was a perfect day to hike around Zion National Park with my friends Emily and Candice. We had spent the night before in St. George and got up early so we could be some of the firsts at the park. Because we only had the one day at the park we were determined to…

Moments & Misadventures :: My Peggy, What A Lovely Cove You Have!
It was a blustery day as we drove up the coast from Halifax following the winding road towards Peggy’s Cove. This small fishing village holds the claim of one of the most photographed places in all of Canada. So with that recommendation coupled with a long love of lighthouses we decided that we had to…
