As quickly as it came, Labor Day Weekend is almost over. Like many others, I decided it would be a great time to check out a Missouri State Park we hadn’t tried yet. To be honest, Graham Cave S.P. was not my first choice, but I procrastinated waaay too long and couldn’t find camping spots […]
Over Easter, Aaron and I took advantage of the extended weekend and planned a quick weekend trip getaway. One of Aaron’s favorite places is in Arkansas near the White and Buffalo Rivers.

With the promise of a beautiful spring day in the forecast, I found it necessary to get outside and hike or “do something.” I wanted to venture a little further from home than we normally do on a regular basis and turn it into a bit of a day drive. So Aaron and I set […]
The perfect hiking day finally arrived! Due to pure laziness, I haven’t been on the trails much lately, but I knew today could not pass without some outdoor adventure.
