This summer, my brother and his family joined Kaylyn and me for another camping adventure at Ross Lake, right in the heart of the North Cascades. If you’ve been following along, you might remember our trips to Ross Lake in 2022 and 2024. We’ve decided to carry this on into a yearly tradition. We baggedContinue reading “Ross Lake Boat Camping ’25”

Bryce Canyon ’25 – Astronomy Festival
Boy, do we love our National Parks! We recently had the chance to attend the Bryce Canyon Astronomy Festival, held each June during the new moon and prime time for stargazing and Milky Way views. The Park truly goes all out for this event. Each day and night, volunteers and Park Rangers host educational programs,Continue reading “Bryce Canyon ’25 – Astronomy Festival”
Yosemite ’25 – Top of the Falls
The stairmaster of Yosemite! Yosemite Falls is one of the highest waterfall in the world at a total of 2,425 ft from trailhead to Yosemite Point, which is about one mile past the falls summit. I endeavored this trail alone while Kaylyn explored Mariposa Grove with her family. Trail specs to Yosemite Falls and YosemiteContinue reading “Yosemite ’25 – Top of the Falls”
A Recap: 2024 in Golf
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”
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”
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”
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”
