Maui – Sunset Cruise

For our last night on Maui, Sarah booked us a sunset cruise. You get to go out with about 10-15 other couples and boat around while the staff brings you food and drink, culminating in… you guessed it… a beautiful view of the sunset. It was a really nice way Read more

Maui, We’re Baaa-aaccck

For those of you who don’t know, Sarah and I got married on Maui in 2015. We had planned to return in 2020 for our 5-year anniversary but COVID had other plans. So in 2021, we returned on our 6-year anniversary to celebrate our 5-year anniversary because it’s illegal to Read more

Ocean Beach – Dog Beach Day 1

As we’ll be doing for the next couple of days, we spent the day on the dog beach in Ocean Beach, San Diego. The pups do enjoy running around and behave incredibly well off the leash, but they opted largely to just sit with us all day. At one point Read more

Plitvice Lakes National Park

The sites from Wednesday’s visit to the Plitvice Lakes are better seen than read. If you want more information, you can check out their website here. All you really need to know is that this park is nothing but turquoise lagoons, waterfalls, and railing-free wooden walkways that would never fly Read more

Lake Tahoe – Eagle Lake Hike

On the morning of our 3rd wedding anniversary, Sarah and I hiked to Eagle Lake which, outside of Hawaii, has got to be the most beautiful spot I’ve ever been. We had no idea what we were getting into… just saw lots of cars parked by the road and like Read more

Tahoe Road Trip 2018

Mammoth

We spent the first 2 days in Mammoth, which is a skiing town in the winter and a nice mountain town the rest of the year. The original plan was for the second day to be spent in Yosemite but the fires had something to say about that. We broke Read more

Day 08: Crescent City to Yachats – 229 miles (1,342)

State Plates: 38/50 So it turns out California does have an end, you just have to take a week off work to find it. Along today’s drive we stopped at a few overlooks, a secluded cove and a spout called Thor’s Well. I prefer to call it Thor’s butthole, because Read more

The Dyerville Giant

These photos are all of a single tree. I’ve photographed some info on it. Since the pictures don’t do it justice, perhaps the story can breathe some life into them.
