This year has been a big one for us! A few quick highlights: we went to New York City, we got married, and we adopted two cats! We thought we’d do a year-end wrap-up post and a look into what we have planned for 2020. So without further ado: Favorite Trip Our favorite non-camping trip… Read More A Few of Our Favorite Things
We woke up happy about the lack of roaches. After getting coffee and a bite to eat at a gas station coffee shop, we headed to Radnor Lake State Park for a hike before the day got too hot. Everyone else had the same idea and the park was super packed. The trails were nice… Read More Honeymoon: Part 5
Florida was a blast and we were looking forward to the next leg of our trip! First up was lunch in Montgomery, at a Jamaican restaurant. We walked down the street a bit to read historical marker signs but it was really hot and our cramped legs weren’t louder than the heat. Our timing into… Read More Honeymoon: Part 4
For the drive from New Orleans to Pensacola, we took the scenic route along the coast and boy was it worth it! This was the first time in a long time that either of us had visited the Gulf Coast and even longer for Kirk being near the ocean. We made a pit stop in… Read More Honeymoon: Part 3
It was late afternoon when we arrived in New Orleans so we decided to check in to our B&B, drop stuff off, and head to dinner. It sprinkled a bit during our walk over, but the temperature was pleasant! We found a bar straight down and right off Esplanade that had some decent food options.… Read More Honeymoon: Part 2

After deciding that we wanted to do a roadtrip in the southeast we had to decide where we… Read More Road Trip
*Wedding photos credit to Meg O’Neill Photography* Our wedding day began with a 3am alarm. Kaila spent the early morning getting ready while Kirk made coffee and breakfast. The rest of the families didn’t have to meet us at the trailhead until 6:30am but the top for Kaila’s dress required another person so Kaila’s mother… Read More Wedding Weekend – Part 2
While we were in New York City we tried to stay away from any chain restaurants or coffee shops. Our restaurant experience is skewed towards vegetarian friendly, without the reliance of mushrooms. The following is a review of the restaurants we did go to: –Spring Natural Kitchen: Veggie burger and house-made ginger beer, Morning Glory… Read More NYC Part 4: The Restaurants
Thursday was Valentine’s Day and we spent the day wandering around Central Park. The weather was pretty fantastic; 40 and sunny, so we weren’t the only ones with that idea. There were a couple of places in Central Park that we wanted to see. One of them being a cave (what’s left) that proved difficult… Read More NYC Part 3: The City
