In Spring 2022, Jarrett and I finally set out on our postponed California trip that was originally supposed to happen in 2020. Our first stop on the trip was Sequoia National Park. Located deep in the hills of Three Rivers, California, this is one of oldest national parks in the country! The park is jointly…

Living through a New England winter can be tough if you don’t enjoy the cold or winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, etc. We wanted to get away but weren’t sure what to do at first. Jarrett and I already had a long trip planned for May 2026, but it seemed so far away. Jarrett threw…

Another year, another hut hiking adventure with my friend Liz! If you’ve been here a while, you’ll recognize Liz’s name from our many other hiking adventures (see here and here for my favorites 😊). When we were together in 2024, we loosely planned out the route we wanted to hike for our Hut Hiking trip the…

In September 2025, Jarrett and I embarked on another National Park trip! The first part of our trip would be spent checking out three National Parks and the rest of the trip would be spent exploring some spots in Kentucky that we’ve been interested in seeing. Our trip started with a direct flight from Boston…

My college roommates and I are still really close, even though we graduated college 17 years ago (ew, that’s wild to think about). We’ve been through milestone birthdays, the death of a parent, breakups, weddings and babies. Even though we don’t all live together anymore, we still prioritize seeing each other a few times a…

If you’ve been a reader of the blog for a while, you’ll know that for the past few years, I’ve gone to Martha’s Vineyard with my sister and four of our girlfriends. 2025 marked year nine so I’m not going to give much of an intro here and just jump right in! Our early morning…

The fifth and final National Park we visited in Utah in 2021 was Zion and it was spectacular! If you want to read more about our full experience in Utah, you can check out my blog post here! Driving into the park through the east entrance was incredible. One of the most impressive things I…

Bryce Canyon was easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. In 2022, Bryce was the 15th most visited National Park with around 2.3 million visitors. I’m honestly shocked it wasn’t ranked higher. We visited Utah in 2021 and it was the 4th park we explored. If you want to read more about our…

I fell in love with Big Bend during our trip there in October and November of 2024. There is something so wild about it. Maybe it’s the fact that the Chihuahuan desert is unforgiving or how surprisingly green Chisos Basin is or beauty of the Rio Grande delicately carving a boundary between Mexico and the…

While Jarrett and I have been traveling together for years, and have been focused on more outdoorsy vacations recently, we had never been camping together. It’s something we had been wanting to try but we were a little nervous to pull the trigger. At the end of 2024 we were plotting out our next vacation…
