After London, we drove due north to the beautiful English countryside – home to “Austenland” and cobblestone lanes curtained with ivy. Here we learned why Elizabeth Bennet of Pride and Prejudice preferred the muddy trails over stately manors, rain or shine. We also learned that we wouldn’t even get into the door of a restaurantContinue reading “UK ’22 – Cotswolds”

UK ’22 – London & Liverpool
London Calling! Flying into the London Heathrow Airport, and even after flying all night, we were raring to go. The only thing that slightly slowed us down was getting used to driving on the opposite side of the road. It only took us about 10mins to successfully navigate out of the parking garage where weContinue reading “UK ’22 – London & Liverpool”
Grand Teton Bighorn Sheep
In February of 2022, Kaylyn and I made another visit to one of our favorite places—Grand Teton National Park— but this time in the dead of winter. Something drew us to the idea of seeing our beloved, jagged mountain range in a quieter off-season setting. While park visitors were few, the wildlife was plentiful! Moose,Continue reading “Grand Teton Bighorn Sheep”
Stones in Vegas
Having already seen some classic heavy-hitter acts like Paul McCartney, the Eagles, David Crosby with Graham Nash, Fleetwood Mac, Steve Miller, Elton John, Robert Plant, and America… we couldn’t leave the Rolling Stones off this list. They may be touring right now but that surely doesn’t mean they will forever. I mean, Mick Jagger isContinue reading “Stones in Vegas”
A Crawford-Wright Yellowstone
This was 2021’s big vacation with the Crawford family. An opportunity to spend some quality time together and tour the grand Yellowstone National Park. I had never been to Yellowstone or the Tetons, and Kaylyn didn’t remember much from when she visited when she was little – so we were both really excited. And, Kaylyn’sContinue reading “A Crawford-Wright Yellowstone”
Yosemite’s Pohono Trail
In May of 2021, we trekked from the valley floor to the rim of Yosemite National Park. The trail led us up the southern side of the valley with almost 2,000 ft in elevation gain. We were welcomed with a 180° view at Stanford Point where we set up camp for two nights. The trailContinue reading “Yosemite’s Pohono Trail”
Superstition Wilderness
Our first backpacking trip together! Kaylyn and I had been prepping for weeks to make sure we had all that we needed, even doing some local hikes with our full gear to be ready for the weight. We’re not completely sure why we decided to drive over to the Phoenix area for our first backpackingContinue reading “Superstition Wilderness”
Honeymoon Roadtrip
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, we were very limited to what we could do after our mini Covid-wedding in April. To avoid planes and crowds, we planned a roadtrip from Salt Lake through Lake Tahoe and the Sierras. The grand tour led us to kayak on Lake Tahoe and spend the night in a canvasContinue reading “Honeymoon Roadtrip”
We got married!
The Covid-19 pandemic really threw us for a loop, we’ll just say that. Our original wedding date was April 25, 2020 but as you may recall… the world kind of imploded in March of 2020. Even though we had plans booked for a venue, flowers and all of those wedding day goodies, we had toContinue reading “We got married!”
Our First Apartment
We’ll never forget the first place we called home. After much apartment hunting, Kaylyn and I found a very homey and perfect one-bedroom apartment on Santa Fe Village Drive. The location couldn’t be missed, just two blocks from South Coast Plaza and all our favorite restaurants. Only the other side of the 405 from Dylan’sContinue reading “Our First Apartment”
