Olympic National Park
Ashley’s annual girls trip to visit Jilly led to Olympic National Park, filled with gorgeous mountains, the coast and a rainforest! Quality time with friends and mountain views are good for the soul.
Salt Lake City
Ashley and the girls (minus one) took a break from all the B.S. that is 2020 and flew to Salt Lake City for a long weekend of hiking and girl time. It was just what the doctor ordered and so fun to check another place off of the bucket list.
Utah’s Mighty Five
We took on Utah’s Mighty Five for spring break this year - it was a whirlwind trip through Zion, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, and Bryce Canyon National Parks! Each park was amazing and unique in its own way, and we can’t wait to make it back again someday.
Big Bend National Park
We took a break from cold, snowy Minnesota and traveled to Texas for a long weekend in Big Bend National Park! It was such a unique park and unlike any place we have ever been, and we’re so excited to tell you all about it.
Tettegouche State Park
We introduced Emily to our favorite place in Minnesota, the North Shore! We spent a long weekend car camping and day hiking out of Tettegouche State Park. It was a great time to get up there and experience the fall colors!
