Hersey, PennsylvaniaWe arrived at HerseyPark Camping Resort after our Route 11 day of adventures. Hersey was hit last week by extreme flooding, which forced park and campground closures.

On the Road Again
Ever since our adventure last summer, we have spent the last year being thankful for the memories we made, and realizing how they helped to shape us. For me, it was a time in my life, where I was truly alive...living in the moment, learning new things, experiencing every emotion, and being in awe of… Continue reading On the Road Again
Wrapping it Up
What We Learned We spent 5 weeks together, with 0 breaks, driving 6,500 miles across 20 different states, and visiting 6 National Parks. We are not perfect. We are a family! Most importantly, we grew together, and love each other MORE! It wasn't easy. It wasn't hard. It was amazing. It wasn't always fun. But, we lived it together. We laughed. We cried. We sang.… Continue reading Wrapping it Up

Zion Mountains and the Grandest of Canyons
After a great visit at Bryce Canyon, we were up early to head towards Zion National Park. We heard traffic was bad, so we left as early as we could, balancing the kids need for sleep. The drive through Zion's entrance was beautiful, and looked like a postcard. The contrast between the bright blue sky… Continue reading Zion Mountains and the Grandest of Canyons
Meeting the Hoo Doos
Salt Lake City Leaving Jackson Hole was tough! We stayed longer than we had other places, so it was a tough adjustment getting back on the road. We were tired and cranky, and it took us a day to get back into the swing of things. The smoke from all of the wildfires in WY… Continue reading Meeting the Hoo Doos
Heaven on Earth
Jackson, WY This was the week we were most looking forward to, as well as where we planned to stay the longest, because it is amazing.

"Look, there is… Continue reading From Geysers to Buffalo
