This was a red letter year in golf. My Dad and I completed a bucket list trip at Bandon Dunes, I set a personal record with my lowest 18-hole round, and I got to play some amazing courses in Oregon and California. This year I also started a new tradition to walk every round usingContinue reading “A Recap: 2024 in Golf”

Golf at Bandon Dunes
This was a belated celebration for my 30th birthday and we had booked the trip literally 18 months in advance. Bandon Dunes does not book tee times or lodging online, its all done over the phone. I guess they like to make it tailored for you and help in the booking process because when weContinue reading “Golf at Bandon Dunes”
Europe ’24 – Switzerland
It has been a lifelong dream to hike the mountains of Switzerland. It took about 5hrs of train to train connections from Paris to the car-free tiny mountain village of Wengen. Heading from Paris to the border town of Basel (the corner of Germany, France and Switzerland), we hopped on another train to Thun, anotherContinue reading “Europe ’24 – Switzerland”
Europe ’24 – Paris
After leaving London and passing under the English Channel, we arrived in our Parisian apartment in only three hours. We packed enough luggage to have room to bring home flea market ‘loot’ so that made the trip up the six flights of spiral stairs a little iffy. Luckily, there was the tiniest elevator that couldContinue reading “Europe ’24 – Paris”
Europe ’24 – London
After our trip in 2022, we desperately wanted to re-visit London and the flights made the most sense to take us through Heathrow before we made our way to Paris and then off to Switzerland. It was a quick 2 days and we packed in as much as we could summing up to these twoContinue reading “Europe ’24 – London”
Wright Reunion ’23 at Yosemite
What better place for a Wright family reunion than Yosemite National Park! We found the absolute perfect place to stay within the park boundaries but outside of the hustle-bustle of Yosemite Valley. Not only that, but it was a 2min drive from the road to Glacier Point, and 20min drive to the Valley entrance! KaylynContinue reading “Wright Reunion ’23 at Yosemite”
Hood, Adams, Rainier & Three Sisters
Summer of ’23 has given us an amazing opportunity to set off on new adventures around the mountains of Oregon and Washington. Closest to Hillsboro, Mt Hood is only 1.5hrs away. Our favorite spot there is Lost Lake situated at the base of the mountain with tents, yurts and cabins. Lost Lake, Mt Hood WeContinue reading “Hood, Adams, Rainier & Three Sisters”
Kenai Fjords National Park
Shortly after our return from Denali, we fit in one last adventure through the Kenai Fjords. This was the first time we experienced rain over our two week trip, so it made for a real Alaskan experience. Seas were rougher, water ran down the cliffs into the ocean, but sea life was exploding. We sawContinue reading “Kenai Fjords National Park”
Denali National Park
They say only 30% of visitors to Denali National Park ever see the full mountain unobstructed. We were among the lucky few. Over three days, we explored both the north and south sides of the park, giving ourselves the best possible chance to witness Denali in all its glory. But I wanted more than justContinue reading “Denali National Park”
Glacier Bay National Park
Mostly only accessible by water, Glacier Bay National Park was in fact full of glaciers and marine wildlife. And our good weather continued with mostly clear skies and NO RAIN! We saw hundreds of sea otters, humpback whales, bald eagles, and mountain goats sprinkled along the cliffside. We found the best places to see whalesContinue reading “Glacier Bay National Park”
