In Colorado, winter is a season of adventure and we are trying to take full advantage of it since the kids are finally able to do “all the things” with relatively little complaint. We’ve been filling the winter weekends by heading into the mountains and taking advantage of everything Colorado has to offer. This past […]
Continue readingWe booked a ton of camping for our first summer in Colorado. Our dear friends raved about camping at Cutty’s Resort as being a fun weekend getaway with no planning required. An easy 2-hour drive from Colorado Springs, this sounded like a perfect summer weekend. Cutty’s is a very large and popular campground and RV […]
Continue readingThe Marble Mines hike at Sloppy Floyd State Park has been on our must do list for a while. It is a relatively easy but uphill hike to the mouth of a cave, with a pond and waterfall. There are plenty more extensive trails in the area to explore as well. Sloppy Floyd turned out […]
Continue readingAfter miles of passing red barns painted with “See Rock City” and the littles yelling out “Let’s go to Rock City” we relented and drove up Lookout Mountain to Rock City Gardens.

I took the three littles in late April to check out Amicalola Falls State Park and stretch our hiking legs just a bit. This was […]
Continue readingWe’ve been missing the Netherlands a lot lately. I think we mostly miss the relaxed vibe that came with walking and biking everywhere. We were more subject to our whims there. Things in a car seem to require more planning. With that in mind we decided to do an overnight in Fairhope, Alabama. A small […]
Continue readingWe completely underestimated everything De Soto National Memorial had to offer. We stopped by on a recent trip to Tampa thinking we would spend a few minutes in the visitors center, but instead we closed it down. We spent all afternoon completing the Jr. Ranger Program and exploring the beautiful waterfront property. The biggest tip […]

Our dear friends, the Poole It Together family, joined us for a family road trip extravaganza. We opted to fly into Portland, Maine where we met up with the Pooles to start our road trip. The Pooles were able to […]
