After our beautiful ride through the night, we decided to give it a shot in the light. We plotted a short ride from Snug Harbor to Lime Kiln – which is the premiere land-based whale watching site on the island. The ride turned out to be remarkably hilly – much more so than the route […]
After rainy, cloudy Seattle we were surprised to see blue skies open up as we headed north. The trees became thicker and taller alongside the road, and the whole world seemed cheerier. The nice weather didn’t make up for the fact that we were running late, though. We raced down the interstate and through Anacortes […]
Our trip back to Mosquito Harbor was a completely different experience from the drizzling cold, rainy, rolling ocean the day before. The sun was out and it was a pleasant temperature. We made our way back, followed by an occasional seal. We also caught the current southward, making for some easy paddling. There were no […]
To kick off our trip to the San Juan Islands, we spent some time in Seattle. The weather was refreshingly cool and rainy – two things we are missing particularly sorely this summer in Utah. Donned in our long sleeves and rain gear, we ventured around Pikes Market and some of the beaches […]
We have now been back from Europe longer than we were gone. When we first arrived at home, we would catch ourselves looking at our blog in order to remind ourselves that we actually did go. It seriously felt like we had never left. Now, however, three months later, it seems appropriate and prudent to […]
Some of you may have noticed that our site was down a good portion of yesterday. My apologies. In preparation for our trip, we have had come up with a way to do our blogging and journaling offline, since we will not likely have consistent internet access in Europe. In order to get the correct […]
Since we both have Monday off for President’s Day weekend, we figured we’d take a little road trip. Bree, with her amazing Google powers, dug up a Winter Festival at Ruby’s Inn just outside of Bryce Canyon. I was a little bit unsure about whether we’d be able to ski at all based on the […]
For those of you who did not know, last Saturday was Eagle Day. Never heard of it? Shame. Well to be honest, neither did we. In fact, we found out about it on a bike ride home from my parents’ new house in Kaysville. Heading out toward Kaysville on Glover Lane in Farmington, we kept […]
Bree and I have been hammering out our summer plans for some time now. Where are we going? Well we aren’t entirely sure, though we do know that it will involve flying into Milan, Italy in mid April. We will be bicycle touring around Europe for 3 months (through mid July), coming home just in […]
We’ve been busy the past few weeks, but not doing the kind of thing that merits a lot of photos. We’ve got some new adventures coming up that we are anxious to tell about, but in all of our planning, we’ve also done a lot of thinking about how we turned into an adventuring family […]
To continue our monthly theme of new winter sports (i.e. snowshoeing, classic xc skiing, and downhill skiing), we decided to give xc skiing one more chance. This time, though, there was going to be none of this shuffling business. We had watched the skate skiers in envy as they flew by us when we went […]
New Years Eve is not the typical time that you would expect to find a random adventure. The past several years have lived up to this expectation. This year, however, we decided to try something a little bit different. Breeanne noticed on Deseret News’ web site that Powder Mountain was having a New Years Eve […]
