Day four: First, on the agenda was the Molly Brown House Museum! She survived the Titanic, and she is known for her activism, philanthropy, and passion! & her name is pretty great as well! Then, it was time to get on the road and drive to Colorado Springs. We started hydrating in the car becauseContinue reading “Colorado- Day Four”

Colorado Springs- Hotel Tour
After three days in Denver, it was time to head south to Colorado Springs. We stayed at a four-star gem called The Mining Exchange. The hotel “is a tribute to the wild souls who carved hope and prosperity out of the mountains.” It has a neat past and even an art gallery (more on thatContinue reading “Colorado Springs- Hotel Tour”
Colorado- Day Three
Day three: Early morning wakeup to hike Eldorado Canyon State Park. Now, trying to find the Eldo Shuttle was an adventure. (The parking at many of the state parks was minimal, so we had to park at an off-site location for many of the hikes and take a shuttle to the trailhead.) We sat onContinue reading “Colorado- Day Three”
Colorado- Day Two
Our first full day in Colorado started early. (Travel Tip: pack bars so it takes the guess work out of breakfast.) We both had a bar for breakfast, J mixed Hydrx in one water bottle so we had some electrolytes for the day’s adventures, and he filled two more water bottles with water. You don’tContinue reading “Colorado- Day Two”
Colorado- Day One
Every year, my husband and I take an anniversary trip. This year’s trip was to the Centennial State or the colorful state of Colorado. Crisp air, beautiful scenery, and so, SO much adventure. Early mornings and late nights- we had an absolute blast and filled every inch of the trip with new experiences. So withoutContinue reading “Colorado- Day One”

After we reached the summit, one of the guys joked that the news report would say: 15 strangers stranded inContinue reading “Colorado- Hotel Tour”
Paris- Hotel Tour
I think one of the hardest parts of planning a trip is the hotel! I always want the hotel to be just right. The right location and the right vibe. I always do extensive research before booking a hotel. I read travel blogs, I read reviews, I bookmark several hotels, and then I keep revisitingContinue reading “Paris- Hotel Tour”
Paris- Day 6
Another early wake up to head to Versailles. We asked the hotel receptionist the best way to get there. He told us the metro lines to take to get to the train station. Then, board the train to Versailles. We get to the train station and learn that the Olympic metro pass that we purchasedContinue reading “Paris- Day 6”
Paris- Day 5
Day 5 was all things Olympics! We woke up early, ate breakfast at the hotel, and headed to the metro to go to HANDBALL. Fun Fact: The only sport the U.S. does not compete in is handball. I think I know what sport J is going to learn next! We saw two matches: Slovenia vs.Continue reading “Paris- Day 5”
Paris- Day 4
Day 4 was all things Montmartre! Romance, art, and books. Such a beautiful day in the City of Love. When we say that police were everywhere, they were EVERYWHERE. In the metro, on horseback, on foot. We felt very safe. Also, holy hills!! We felt like we were back in San Francisco. Great for gettingContinue reading “Paris- Day 4”
