Shenandoah, Virginia
Shenandoah National Park stretches along the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. The park’s main road, Skyline Drive, stretches through the park with 105 scenic miles and a three hour journey though it. Most travelers base themselves in towns like Front Royal, Luray, Sperryville, or Waynesboro. However, we decided to stay in McGaheysville, being closer to…

Cherry Springs, PA
We had friends who visited Cherry Springs, PA a few years ago with their kids. Upon talking and finding out that Roe has a telescope and deep love for the stars we started planning a trip last winter. Fast forward late summer, here’s my post about our trip. My Google Maps Saved Bookmarks from the…

San Francisco, CA
This posts includes everything from transportation, food, things to do, and hiking. Unlike most of my recent trips, this itinerary was very loosely planned. While researching, I simply starred a bunch of places on Google Maps without knowing whether we’d be end up walking everywhere or what not. The MUNI system also confused me at…

Golden Gate Park, SF, CA
After spending some time at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, I decided it deserved its own separate blog post. There are a few reasons for this: First, the park is 200 acres larger than Central Park in NYC. Second, there are free visiting times to take advantage of. And third, the SF City Guides…

Stowe, Vermont

Lake Tahoe, CA

Our timing fell just before Memorial Day, finding us caught in a limbo between winter’s reluctant departure and the anticipated arrival of summer. The weather being a high of 68 and an abundance of sunshine caught us pleasantly off…

Pocono Castle! East Stroudsburg, PA.
Have you ever come across those jaw-dropping, themed Airbnbs that just scream fun and excitement?! Your initial reaction might have been, “Let’s do this!” Then reality came hard and fast with it being stupid expensive and booked for the next four years. Whelp. But fear not! If you’re into medieval vibes, perhaps a Game of…

Las Vegas, Nevada
Did we go to Las Vegas with the intention of gambling? No. Was our visit motivated to indulge in the city’s renowned drinking and dining scene? Negative. If the idea of steering clear of the bustling strip and seeking out a more adventurous experience sounds up your alley, then this itinerary might be for you.…

Stanhope, NJ
Over summer we decided we wanted a quick getaway that wasn’t too far from home. At some point I heard about Wild West City and saw that it was in Stanhope. After doing a little more research for the area we opted to go. North Jersey, day trip or two day getaway for couples or…
