I couldn’t have been more excited to really explore Spain, France and Italy. We had a big group of 8 ready for a new adventure. As first timers, a cruise in my opinion is the least stressful way to cover a bunch of ground in Europe while not having to worry about planning activities &Continue reading “Mediterranean Cruisin’”

I’ve had some really dope adventures in my life and the night dive with the manta rays ranks high up there. Day 2 on the Big Island and I snagged the last spot on the 4:45pm boat – 4 divers and 9 snorkelers. I timed a short hike at the nearby national monument prior becauseContinue reading “Manta Ray Night Dive Hawaii”

Still to this day, Disney’s private island is one of my fav places in the entire world. Why? Why not?

I got hooked! We didn’t have any courts near me growing up, so I didn’t know what I was getting into. But beingContinue reading “Racquetball chaos”

The minute we drove into the east entrance at Badlands National Park I knew it was going to be special. I felt a resurgence of my childhood wonder & giddiness. A sea of multi-colored spires jutted out from the landscape to create a beautiful & otherworldly backdrop. The 1.5 mi Notch trail was the perfectContinue reading “Brilliant Badlands”

I didn’t really get heavy into mountain biking until my early 30s. Did you know I actually participated in and placed in 6 races? What an extreme rush. Whizzing between trees, ducking under limbs, skidding through sand pockets, splashing through mud, finding slim holes to squeeze past an opponent and biking along single track isContinue reading “Mountain biking rush”

The third weekend in August is the sweet spot – a week prior to the tourist rush of Labor Day and after most southern schools have already started back up.
