In July 2024, my husband and I road-tripped to Montana to visit Glacier National Park, one of America's national parks. It immediately became one of our favorite parks for both of us. (If you keep reading, I share the top 3 parks for each of us below!)

True story:  One of my biggest regrets of the last few years is that my husband and I didn't buy an RV in our early 30s to see more of the United States. Here's the view from Schwabacher Landing in Grand Teton National Park

Good morning! Today's post is about my trip to Manchester, Vermont, in October 2020 -- exactly 2 years ago today.

I honestly don't know why it's taken me so long to recap our 2020 trip to Maine because Maine is one of my favorite  states in the U.S. I grew up visiting my father's family in Island Falls during the summer, and during college I learned to snowboard at Sunday River ski resort in Newry.

I think this post may actually beat my New Zealand posts as my most photo-heavy post -- because Yosemite is one of the most stunning places I have ever visited.  Travel has made me so much more aware of how incredible our planet is. After visiting New Zealand on my honeymoon in 2020 and marveling at the beauty of the country, I became determined to see more of my own country's beauty -- and Yosemite lived up to the hype.
