As Caroline and I have mentioned before, we are both teachers. So here it is on a Friday evening about 4:00 and I’m still here at school, waiting until it’s time to take my son to the school dance. Life of a teacher….right?!?! As I’m sitting here, scrolling through the school’s newspaper, I come across […]
In our first post about our first completed section of the Ozark Trail that Caroline and I finished together, (Ketcherside Mountain to Taum Sauk), we originally thought that we would try to complete all the sections as a duo. Up to that point we’d both completed other sections separately. However, that may have not been […]
I love Spring: watching new life bloom, feeling the warmer temperatures, and knowing school will soon be out (can I get a woot woot from all my teacher friends)! One thing I don’t look forward to is the dreaded “springing forward” of the clocks! I get why we do it, but man that first week […]
Early one (almost) spring, Sunday morning, I woke up and had an itch to explore someplace new! Even though there were local trails I still have yet to explore, I had my eye on a couple Illinois trails that featured waterfalls (according to All Trails App) and with the recent rains, I figured it would […]
If you ever want to feel like you are on another planet, Onondaga Cave State Park is the place to visit. Except here you’re not ON our planet, but IN our planet! With spring approaching, and the new season of cave tours just around the corner (Mid April), I wanted to share this amazing Missouri […]
The Bucket List is a few days late this month because instead of bringing you 10 items from our list, we decided to share 14 Bucket List items to do with your better half. After researching some possible experiences to add to this list, I found that most were things you could do alone, but […]
Caroline Here- I’m sitting here on New Year’s Eve with no major plans, which I actually prefer, and looking ahead to 2018. It’s that time of year that people make those resolutions that look good on paper but maybe last three months tops. I haven’t made “the normal” resolutions for years. I know I won’t […]
We made it! And Buffalo National River did not disappoint! The trails were amazing, yet pushed us more than usual, the fall colors were beautiful, the food was delicious, the hotel was incredible, and the company was priceless! When Caroline and I first started our venture into blogging about our little adventures, one of […]
It’s that time for our third installment of our Bucket List Adventures. So we have decided on the 10th of every month, we are going to share 10 items from our “Bucket” Lists – the everyday adventures and the big ones. Some we may have already checked off and others we will be working towards. […]
Keep calm and be crazy. Laugh, love and live it up, because this is the oldest you’ve been and the youngest you’ll ever be. Today I celebrate my 34th birthday and honestly it’s been a day just like any other day. Except, like many people I’ve thought about what my life has become…and I think […]
