To celebrate Kaylyn’s parent’s 30th anniversary, we carefully planned an epic 2-week, excursion filled, adventure to Alaska! A place where we all had wanted to go for a long time, both for wildlife and dramatic landscape beauty. There were seven of us in total with Kaylyn’s parents and family. Vancouver to Inside Passage We boardedContinue reading “Alaska’s Inside Passage and Southern Ports”

Ellen’s Caribbean Cruise
When Kaylyn and I were dating, her and some friends went on the Ellen Show in L.A. As audience members, everyone was given a new 65″ 4k TV and a 7-day cruise! Lucky for me, the free cruise was for 2. Unlucky for both of us, COVID-19 happened right when we got married and soContinue reading “Ellen’s Caribbean Cruise”
Ross Lake Resort ’22
Since the Wright Family grew up in the Seattle area, the North Cascades was only a short drive away. The Wright parents, Tim and Anne, would take the whole family to a very secluded lake on the border of Canada in the North Cascades called Ross Lake. Ross Lake has a small set of floatingContinue reading “Ross Lake Resort ’22”
Presidents Cup ’22
For those who are not familiar with golf tournaments, every two years there are two international golf team events – the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup. The Ryder Cup is an assembled European Team vs the US Team and the Presidents Cup is the same US Team vs an International Team (excluding Europe). InContinue reading “Presidents Cup ’22”
UK ’22 – Isle of Skye
“Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, the hills of the Highlands forever I love.” – Robert Burns Leaving St Andrews, Scotland on the east coast, we trekked across the Isle to the northwest coast and across a bridge to the Isle of Skye! The scenery was breathtaking! Why try to describe, when we have theContinue reading “UK ’22 – Isle of Skye”
UK ’22 – St Andrews & Edinburgh
After we left Liverpool, we made our way up through the Lakes District and into “the north…” SCOTLAND! Something interesting was that we noticed the terrain getting more and more rough – more jagged hills and steeper canyons that we saw in areas like the Cotswolds. Even though we love the rolling hills in theContinue reading “UK ’22 – St Andrews & Edinburgh”
UK ’22 – Cotswolds
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”
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”
