Top Restaurants – Sedona, Arizona
Our all time favorite restaurant in Sedona is The Hudson. We order this pork chop every time (see video below for full effect). It's one of the best things I've ever tasted. Their tagline is "A Neighborhood Restaurant" and that's exactly how it feels. It's so fun to sit at the bar and chat with ...
Sunflowers – Minnesota
Some express their appreciation through a gift, a picture, a song, or maybe a flower, sometimes it’s the simple things that speak the loudest. - Johnny Fish Have you visited one of the Fish Sunflowers sites? They are so beautiful and FREE! All they ask is that you share your photos via social and spread ...
Yellowstone – Under Canvas – Glamping
As we turned off Highway 20 in West Yellowstone onto a dirt road and drove under the log archway for Bar N Ranch, we could see the canvas tents in the distance of this beautiful, secluded, wide-open space. Wildflowers added pops of colors, horses were running in the pasture and the mountains layered the horizon. ...

Horseshoe Bend – Glen Canyon National Recreation Area – Arizona
This is what you see as you walk the 3/4 mile from the parking lot to the overlook of Horseshoe Bend. It's so flat that it's hard to believe you will see an awe-inspiring deep canyon. I kept imagining what the first people must have thought as they traveled this flat land and then to ...

Best Friends Roadhouse & Mercantile – Utah – Pet Friendly

I wrote about Best Friends Roadhouse and Mercantile last October when we toured the Roadhouse ...
Sedona, Arizona – Hiking – Broken Arrow Trail
Broken Arrow is a new trail for us this year. We were hesitant to hike here because the trail runs parallel to the jeep path and we thought it would be disruptive. The jeeps didn't bother us at all and it was fun to watch them cruising over the red rocks. The hiking distance for ...
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 ...
One Blanket, Two Hearts
The human connection. Traveling always offers the most interesting conversations and connections with strangers. Each encounter teaches us something and leaves an imprint. While staying at Jackson Lake Lodge, on a brisk early morning, we met Adel. One of our favorite things to do is to take the Jackson Lake Breakfast Cruise to Elk Island. We've learned ...
