Last I left off we were in Borrego Springs, the kind of place that is so remote and small that you intentionally have to be going there. It’s not somewhere you happen to stop by on your way to your real destination. And don’t get me wrong, it’s a beautiful slow moving quiet place, the… Continue reading In search of wildflowers: Don’t blame the Toms
I love the stillness and unfamiliarity of a hotel room at this hour. We are in the city of Borrego Springs, the kind of quaint little city with no stop lights and that closes its mall at 5p daily. We are here to visit and explore Anza Borrego Dessert State Park and see the wild… Continue reading In search of wild flowers with a toddler and baby: Day 1
My husband introduced me to one of my favorite hobbies: camping and hiking. When we first started dating we went on several hikes and in each one I was in awe of the beauty around us. If memory serves me well, I think my first camping trip was when my husband took me to Joshua… Continue reading Upgrading the 2 Person Tent
Kyoto has been the most amazing experience so far. On our second day here my husband found a place where we could rent bikes and explore Kyoto. Best thing ever!! There is something so freeing about riding a bike, exploring the city, and feeling the cool breeze on your face. I can’t imagine a better… Continue reading Kyoto – Exploring the city
We are 6 days into our trip to Japan and it has been so fun and unpredictable. Traveling with a toddler is an adventure in itself for sure! If there is one thing I’m learning is what a lesson in flexibility and patience it is to travel with a baby. Lots of patience. Celeste has… Continue reading Tokyo experience – Part 1
I cannot believe that in exactly two weeks we will be standing on Japanese soil. I can’t even visualize that in my head. I can’t even visualize sitting on an airplane with my husband and our almost 2 1/2 year old daughter. My brain just can’t seem to grasp around that idea, probably because it… Continue reading The Countdown to Japan Begins
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to share this, but it’s official, we are going to Japan! With our toddler. On a plane. For the first time. Woohoo!!! I am all at once beyond excited and nervous! But you know, I figure, if you’re going to make a decision to travel for the very… Continue reading A Plane, A Toddler, & Two Inexperienced Parents
What an experience these past 4 days turned out to be! When my husband told me he had booked us a cabin for our camping trip, this is what I envisioned in my mind Not so much all the nice furniture, but definitely along the lines of electricity, heating system, and although I didn’t go… Continue reading Lights Out!
We are going camping this weekend!!! Can you tell I’m excited? I had never been camping until I met my husband, and I do mean the sleep in a tent and bundle up in your sleeping bag camping kind of thing. I remember the first time my husband took me camping to Joshua Tree National… Continue reading One with Nature
Last year my husband and I kept saying we wanted to write a list of goals that we wanted to accomplish but never got around to it. Plus with me in school and then switching jobs, it left little room for us to really sit down and plan out any vacations so we would often just do… Continue reading 2014: Live it with Intention!
