New York Winter Adventure

New York City and Christmastime – two of my favorite things. Earlier this month, we got to experience the two together. And even though Matt and I have been to New York before, there were so many opportunities for new experiences this time around. 

Seattle

A couple of weeks ago, Matt and I went on a spontaneous trip to Seattle! A friend of ours is staying there for a while for work and it’s been at the top of our list of places to travel so we figured now was the perfect time. We had the best time and absolutely fell in love with the city! 

NYC Parts 3 & 4

Hello again all and sorry for the delay in posting. We recently have been busy with some travels – stay tuned for a future post about our trip to Seattle! Today’s post will be about days 3 and 4 of our summer trip to NYC last year. If you missed the post about Days 1 and 2, they can be found here and here.

NYC Part 2

Hello again! As I mentioned last week, today I’ll be detailing Day 2 of our trip to NYC last summer. If you missed the post about Day 1, you can read it here. Day 2 was our first full day in the city, and we learned so much about traveling around the city. 

New York City

In September 2016, Matt and I traveled to New York City! New York is one of my absolute favorite places to travel, because there is no shortage of things to do and see. I feel like I could visit every year for the rest of my life and never tire of it. In fact, we’re going back this year in December! I’m excited to see the city in a completely different season, especially since it’s going to be all decorated for Christmas when we go.

Blanchard Springs Caverns

It’s finally Fall! Fall is by far my favorite season because of the beautiful colors of the leaves, cooler temperatures, and holidays like Thanksgiving and Halloween. Unfortunately I live in Houston, which means I don’t get to experience any beautiful colors or cooler temperatures.

Caddo Lake

Today’s post is a throw back to last summer when Matt and I visited Caddo Lake. Caddo Lake sits on the border of Texas and Louisiana, about a 5 hour drive from Houston. This lake is interesting in that it’s one of the only (if not the only) natural, non-man made lake in Texas. It’s also unexpected in that large cypress trees grow in the middle of the lake! It makes for a very unique lake experience.

Saint Louis Solar Eclipse

In August, Matt and I took advantage of a rare opportunity to see two things we had never seen before – a full solar eclipse and Saint Louis, Missouri! Since we love traveling and science, it was a no brainer for us to travel to a new city in order to view the rare eclipse.

Zion National Park

Hello and happy Sunday everyone! Sorry for the lull in posts lately… we moved into a new house in a new part of town two weekends ago and wow, moving really takes up a lot of time. But we’re all settled in now and I absolutely love our new house! My commute to work went from 1.5 hours to 15 minutes, and same for Matt. I have so much more free time now to explore the local parks and restaurants! There’s two huge parks within walking/biking distance of my house… perhaps one day soon I’ll do a post about Houston parks!

Grand Canyon National Park

In April this year we traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada and toured the Hoover Dam. If you missed that post, you can read it here. Since we aren’t what you might consider “party people,” we used the opportunity to visit two national parks during our vacation.
