The Road to Sedona

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

This past weekend, while we were at the cabin, we decided to take a road trip to Sedona as we hadn’t been there before. It was a spur of the moment decision as Daddy just thought it would be fun. Of course, the puppies had to go on the road trip with us as it wouldn’t be the same without them. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous which made for an enjoyable trip. Much to my surprise, D looked up a gluten-free restaurant that focused on super healthy food, gmo-free, soy-free food. I thought we were going to just have a…

Exploring Joshua Tree: Eureka Peak

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

We’d been working quite hard at getting the house unpacked and set up the last couple of weeks, so Saturday afternoon D decided that it was time to go do something fun. We stopped by one of the Joshua Tree National Park entrances to talk to one of the park rangers to get an idea of what all was available as well as pick up a park map. The park ranger that we talked to was extremely enthusiastic about the park and the activities there, so it was easy to get excited about exploring everything. Because we were getting started…
