When Missouri girls go to Yosemite National Park to knock off some bucketlist items. Half Dome, Upper Yosemite Falls, Trail, Sequoia National Park, and much more!
My “baby” Oakley turned 3 years old at the end of July and I decided it was time for his first “real hike.” Up to this point, I would consider my youngest a pretty experienced hiker. I’ve taken him all over our great state of Missouri on many different trails, and last Christmas the kid […]
By Darlene – Katie’s Mom Usually if Katie Martinez says we are going somewhere I say “Great! Let’s Go!” But this time, when she said we were hiking Half Dome……I wouldn’t even read about this adventure like the others in the crew were doing. It scared me too much. I had someone else to do […]
Lagom Adventures attempting Half Dome at Yosemite National Park!
Hello Lagom Adventurers! We’re Back!! Many of you may have been wondering what’s been going on with us lately since we haven’t had any new blog posts other than our Weekly Recommendations. Well….this little thing called “LIFE” happened! Caroline and I have been exceptionally busy the last several months. Caroline’s son had knee surgery and […]

Have you ever set a goal or had certain expectations and things just didn’t turn out as planned? It happens to me all the time to be honest, but I’ve been lucky for the most part in relation to Caroline and mine’s hiking adventures. Even when we just wing it, we still have met or […]
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 […]
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 […]
