Part of the Presidential Range in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and standing at 6,288 feet, Mt. Washington is the tallest peak in the Northeastern US. While it stands over 6,000 feet, the elevation we gained while hiking to the summit was about 4,300 feet since the trailhead stands at elevation. That is still plenty of elevation gain! Mt. Washington sees nearly 250,00 visitors each year so it’s only a benefit to tourism that …
Destination weddings bring a sense of romance and magic that make the experience feel more intimate and memorable. Andy and I loved our wedding! The whole day was a perfect blend of two individuals making a commitment to their lives together and we were surrounded by 250 loving family and friends. Some want a more intimate and romantic setting. Some couples like my brother and his wife Aly want a destination. They wanted to turn …
We are finding that local parks are becoming increasingly busier during the time of COVID-19 and the warming spring weather, which is awesome! With all the ‘shelter in place’ orders being implemented to slow the spread of this virus, we believe that it is also a responsible thing to ‘hike in place’ during these times. This means hike local to reduce your impact to communities you might travel to on your way to the trail. …
After five long days of driving, a weekend of out of the car, some fresh air, and slowing down the pace was much needed! We spent the weekend camping at Balsam Pond Campground southeast of Syracuse, New York. Rolling mountain views and miles of gravel road surrounded us as we drove to the campgrounds. It’s important to have the directions already programmed into your GPS since signal is very spotty as you get into the …

The beauty about hiking is that everyone has differing levels and those levels can be adapted on any trail, push your limits as you see fit. After driving in the car for 3 days and not getting too much exercise, we felt it was time to push our limits and do a longer hike. We hiked …
The beauty of this road trip is that we had no plans, new adventures come with each day. Well, we did have one thing planned. We needed to pick up some business cards we got printed for free in Cleveland, Ohio. So far our days have been waking up in our Subaru Tribeca home, moving things around in order to drive, and hitting the road east with the end goal of Maine in mind. While …
Camping is a gift that is often times passed down as a tradition from family members. We are both grateful to have been gifted the love of camping from each of our families. We were fortunate to spend a weekend in early August at Sibley State Park with Sarah’s family, including her 88-year-old grandparents. You may remember our blog post from 2 years ago where we did something similar at Schroder County Park. Two years later, …
Out of town weddings are a great excuse to check out new campsites and hiking trails in a city you’ve never been to. We recently spent a weekend in Wausau, WI to attend a friend’s wedding. The wedding was at the Rothschild Pavilion which sits right on the Wisconsin River – a beautiful and peaceful setting for a wedding ceremony. There was also a view of Rib Mountain, which was our destination hike for the …
