  • Snowshoeing!

    Sometimes in the winter, it’s nice to do something besides skiing. Well, I think so anyway. So every once in awhile, I can convince Matt to go snowshoeing with me instead. We decided Brainard Lake was the best place to… Continue reading

  • Steamboat Springs Skiing!

    In true Laura fashion, I talked Matt into booking a ski weekend in Steamboat while we were sitting on the couch in my parents’ living room in the warmth of Florida. I knew damned well I was going to need… Continue reading

  • Florida Ends…

    I always get a little bit sad when a trip is coming to an end. I get all sappy, and start wanting to do all the things “one last time.” We took full advantage of our last few days down… Continue reading

  • This One’s for the Birds

    …and the alligators… We decided to take a walk on the wild side and check out the wilderness, Florida-style. What does that mean, you ask? Well, it means water. And grass. And cypress trees. And birds. And alligators. Where do… Continue reading

  • Wandering South Beach, Miami, and Palm Beach

    We figured we should really get to some of the “cooler” spots in and around south Florida while we were down there… We may not be the go-out-at-night-and-stay-up-late people, but some places are just cool, regardless of what time of… Continue reading

  • The Long Way Home

    I wrote this story down the night we got home from PR. Glad I did, because I don’t think I remember it well enough to be quite so colorful at this point…. Day 12: SJU 👉🏻MCO👉🏻DEN – Home Again… What… Continue reading

  • San Juan, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

    After a wonderful week in Rincón, it was time to move on and make our way back to San Juan for a few more nights before heading home. Thankfully, the roads were okay enough from Hurricane Fiona that we were… Continue reading
