Glacier National Park and the Northern Rockies
Summer vacation began and ended with vegan pizza. Specifically, vegan pizza at Allie’s Vegan Pizza in Spokane, Washington. Even though it sounds weird, the mac and cheese pizza was fantastic, especially when dipped in ranch. After a late arrival, our first real day of vacation included lots of driving, fueled with breakfast by Casual Friday…

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park
In early September, we had the opportunity to travel to Atlanta for the weekend. Anthony was very excited to attend Dragon Con, a festival that attracts over 20,000 visitors to the city of Atlanta every year. We spent all day Saturday at the fest, attending the parade – where hundreds of people in costume march…

Midwest National Parks – Part 3
We then made our way to Minneapolis, Minnesota to the visitors center for Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. There were several areas along the river we could have visited, but we unfortunately did not have enough time. We took a very short walk along the river, and spent some time in the visitors center,…

Midwest National Parks – Part 2
The next day we drove to Keweenaw National Historical Park. A park site that we really knew nothing about, besides a cursory glance at the website when we planned the trip, as always we were pleasantly surprised by how informative and interesting this site was. We began our trip at the Quincy Unit where we…

For vacation this summer, Anthony and I decided to loop through Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and a little of Missouri. Our industrious plan covered 18 National Park Sites. Collecting stamps, magnets, and park brochures,…

Star Wars Weekends at Walt Disney World
In May, Anthony and I traveled to Orlando for Star Wars Weekends and a chance to see friends and hang out at the theme parks. An avid member of the 501st, Anthony was anxious to march in the Star Wars character parade at Hollywood Studios – still MGM in our heads. Because it is tough…

Congaree National Park
Though Congaree National Park is only about three hours from our home, we had yet to visit it together – and I had never been there. Congaree is a smaller National Park, but full of diverse plant and animal life. Designated to protect wetland and old growth bottomland forest, many of Congaree’s visitors see…

Veterans Day in Florida
Over Veterans Day weekend, we decided to visit our favorite veteran – Anthony’s grandfather – in Florida. Papa enlisted at age 17 in the Navy and was a pilot during the Pacific Campaign of WWII. He has some amazing stories from his time serving, and loves to share them with us, so it was only…

Yosemite National Park
Our next stop was Yosemite National Park. We spent over a week there, part of it backpacking, and part of it with my parents – who were gracious enough to plan a vacation to Yosemite and then invite us along! Yosemite is crowded, the valley is mobbed, especially in the middle of summer, but there…
