Petrified Forest National Park
We chose this park because even though we had technically reached our destination, we really felt the need to run my poor Ford Fusion into the ground by continuing to put on an obscene number of daily miles. I kid, I kid. OR DO I? This park wasn’t initially on our radar at all, but…
Week One in AZ
Our first week in Arizona was a bit of a whirlwind. When you say that you’ll be staying somewhere for a month, that seems like a really long time. Before we actually arrived we felt like we were going to have all the time in the world to adventure and relax, but as soon as…
Munds Park, Arizona
Finally, after two weeks on the road, our destination was in sight. On Monday, March 1st we could officially check in for our month long stay in Arizona. We took Monday off of work in order to make the 4.5hr drive from Hurricane, Utah to Munds Park, and since we had all day to get…
Bryce Canyon National Park
The next stop on our whirlwind adventure through Utah was Bryce Canyon National Park, which would round out our weekend of three national parks in three days. Bryce Canyon was the park that I was personally most excited to see. In the past few years a couple different friends had been to Bryce and shared…
Zion National Park
The main event in Utah was always supposed to be Zion National Park. There are loads of really cool and unique hiking opportunities, and it was only about a half hour away from our Airbnb in Hurricane. We were staying with a couple of M’s friends from college, and while we were taking an extra…
Arches National Park
One of the best parts of Moab, Utah was its proximity to a couple really cool parks. We hadn’t originally planned on hitting a ton of national parks on this trip – maybe four total – so when our impromptu route change brought us within striking distance of two more, we were pretty stoked. We…
Denver, CO and Moab, UT
We spent a few days in Denver on either end of our trip to the mountains and it was a whirlwind of seeing friends, seeing the city, and testing our theory that we could successfully work the hours of a different time zone than the one we were physically located in. Our major takeaways? Denver…
Rocky Mountain National Park
For our first weekend in Colorado, we decided to head north and west of our home base in Denver to the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park. We spent three nights in a teeny tiny, very cute cabin in Grand Lake, Colorado with M’s cousin. Our very ambitious plan was to go for at least…
Omaha
Well, that’s it for Omaha! We were only there for about 38hrs total, with most of that time spent working or sleeping, so time really flew by! We stayed at the Embassy Suites in Old Market, which has been a favorite of mine since I went to school in Omaha due to a.) the multilevel…
2021 Travel Plan – Goals
Our departure date is approaching fast! That means I only have a few days to tell you, Reader, what our plans and goals are so that you can hold us to them! While we are in Arizona, we plan to keep working Central Time hours. Both M and I tend to keep a 7AM to…
