Montezuma Well – National Park Service
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., the National Park Service celebrates his birthday by offering the first of five in 2020 no-fee days at National Parks and Monuments. This inspired us to visit the Montezuma Well today. It was so cool to see this much water in the middle of the desert. 1.5 million ...
Fort Snelling State Park – Twin Cities – Minnesota
There are so many beautiful winter trails in the heart of the Twin Cities! We visited Fort Snelling State Park the day after Thanksgiving (we needed the exercise after eating so much food). 🙂 Minnesota state parks waive the entrance fees on Black Friday to encourage people to get outside and explore.

See Things How They Are…
This quote! It always opens my eyes. We navigate our days and interactions based on how "we are". We make assumptions without realizing we are doing it. There's no way we can know what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes. Our hard might be easy for someone else OR our hard might be ...

Glenwood Springs – Colorado
If you’re going to get stuck on a road trip, Glenwood Springs, Colorado is the place. Vail Pass (10,666' mountain pass over the Rocky Mountains) was closed due to a snowstorm so we enjoyed our extra day! We were here in April and this has become one of our favorite Colorado towns. There’s so much ...
An Irish Engagement
It was an incredibly humid day and I was so impressed with how this couple kept their cool. Every photoshoot has a challenge but those challenges are what make perfect moments. xo © Tracy Blowers
Belly of the Dragon – Kanab, Utah
Would you dare the depths of the Belly of the Dragon? This "cave" is actually a manmade tunnel to redirect drainage from the upper canyons under HWY 89 to the North Fork River just outside of Kanab, Utah. The water created this ripple effect that looks like you're going into the depths of a beast. ...
Best Friends Roadhouse & Mercantile – Kanab, Utah
If you love animals, then this hotel is for you! I've written about Best Friends Animal Society many times.
