Theodore Roosevelt National Park

It was my very first time visiting the park and North Dakota!

Garden of the Gods 2.0

Today I’m sharing a few pictures from my second visit to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.

Gorgeous Royal Gorge

I had been meaning to visit Royal Gorge by train for a while. A friend visited from California and treated us to some tickets!

Gone fishing!

And believe it or not it was my first time fishing ever!

Chatfield Unleashed

Ok. Not sure about the title because it was a peaceful morning, but that being said we were at the off-leash dog park area so I guess it works. Ha.

Wesley Walk Writeup

As a busy dog mom it’s not every day that I get to take my baby to the off-leash park. That being said, I do my best and take him quite often. He loves it!

It’s a Zoo Out There: giraffes

OMG these pictures are so old! I took them at least 7 years ago back at the San Francisco Zoo.

Prairie dogs with a dog

Yeah. I tried to take some pictures of these prairie dogs while on a walk with my “actual” dog.

St. John Island: in and out of NPS territory

It’s hard to know when you are on National Park Services grounds since about 60% of the island is part of the Virgin Islands National Park. So it’s just one post for the whole island.

St. Thomas: You have to see it to believe it

I hope you get the reference to that Bible passage, but it’s also a little nod to my ex-fiancée who says I never believe her until she is proved right. Call me a skeptic! Ha!

4 states in 2 days (keep scrolling!)

Well… I mean. Let’s be modest and realistic here. I left from Colorado early on a Saturday, drove to Kansas and slept there at night. Then, I drove south to Oklahoma’s Panhandle and made a quick detour to Texas just to be able to say I was there that weekend. Ha!

Scenic Byway U-128

We got back on the road and drove to Grand Junction, CO from Arches National Park back in March.

It’s a zoo out there! – Denver edition

We went to the Denver Zoo during Christmas weekend, masked up and following all Covid-19-related instructions.

Sunnyvale… going through the archives

Sometimes I edit photos and them let them sit there forever until, one day, I decide it’s time to clean up the archives.

Mesa County-bound

Grand Junction and Fruita were definitely not the purpose for this trip (see previous post about Colorado National Monument), but I love sunsets and peculiar buildings…
