  • Cruising the Southern Caribbean: the Journey Begins

    We made it back to Florida!!! Okay, okay, something like three months after we left the last time, but whatever. It was snowing when we left Denver, and it doesn’t suck to go somewhere warm. Ever. This time, we’re taking… Continue reading

  • Bishop Castle

    We went camping at Lake Pueblo State Park this spring to get out of the cold in Denver for a long weekend (read that post here). While we were there, we took advantage of how close we were, and we… Continue reading

  • Lake Pueblo Camping

    The bike shop is closed on Easter Sunday. When I realized that (again – somehow I forget EVERY year!), I asked Matt to take an afternoon off so we could go somewhere different. We wanted to go somewhere new, but… Continue reading

  • Lighthouses, Manatees, and Cool Beach Rocks!

    The next few days of our trip had slightly less-than-ideal weather… Not bad, just not up to “hanging out on the beach and get in the water” standards. So we found other things to do. Blowing Rocks Nature Preserve has… Continue reading

  • In Search of Fall…

    Every year, there’s that weird time after summer ends but before winter hits for real (and the holidays start) that we’re never quite sure what to do with. The weather can be cold or hot, rainy, snowy, or blindingly sunny.… 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
