Marquette, Michigan Adventure

I just returned from a short journey which included a stop in Duluth, two nights in Marquette, two nights at my moms in Minnesota, then back home. In a total of six days. In the past 3 weeks, I have spent roughly 70 hours driving. That does not include driving around at the destinations. It’s…

Weekend Trip to Ogden, Utah

We took a quick short and sweet trip down to Ogden, Utah over the weekend, and it was so gorgeous! Just as pretty as I remembered from driving through there years ago when we went to Disneyland. I always wanted to return to see more of it, and this trip was a start to fulfilling…

The Haunted Hotel Alex Johnson | Rapid City, South Dakota

If there’s one thing I can really get down with in winter, it’s impromptu trips with hopes of warmer weather. I had been checking the weather forecast whilst feeling the need to get out of town and scouted out some mid sixties in South Dakota. At the end of January! It’s been years since we’ve…

Coldwater Lake and Mount St Helens

After our day at Arcadia Beach, we took a little jaunt up to Mount Saint Helens. The drive up there is mainly through thick trees with no cell service and so beautiful! Some of the views are just incredible. After so many years of mountain roads and views, I’m finally comfortable with them and can…

Whitefish, Montana Photo Journal

After driving nearly ten hours on highway 2 across Montana, it’s always an exciting feeling to catch the staggering view of Glacier National Park. Rising up from the prairies, the jagged peaks against the horizon. The highway drive from the east side of the park towards Whitefish is so beautiful. Gorgeous views, tons of trees.…

Going to the White City Lighthouse has become an annual tradition for us at the cabin. We leave the littles behind to get babysat and just us older ones go. The last couple years it’s just been us girls, but this year since my younger brother was there, his friend from Finland, and my sisters…

Michigan Cabin Trip
We made it back home from our Michigan trip a few days ago, so thought I’d share some of my favorite pics and memories from the trip! Before we embark on the next one to the west coast! Otherwise I’ll get way too far behind here. Most of our cabin days were spent sleeping in,…

Earthquake Lake, Montana
When I’d heard Yellowstone was going to be closed just a few days before we were headed there, I needed to find at least one cool scenic attraction in the area. After a short amount of research, I found out about this place, Earthquake Lake. In the late nighttime hours on August 17th, 1959, a…
