Every hour of the day, we had to plan around her. Medicines. Meals. Walks. Everything became so structured and rigid that it’s no surprise it all collapsed when she died. For the past several months, she was everything. Our days and our conversations revolved around her. While excited to explore our new city, we stayed home to care

It seems fitting, or perhaps – necessary – to share some of my favorites from our road trip as a wrap-up to my “Camping across the country” series. But I also want to share this as a reprieve from this awful, awful election season. While I’m not going to write about the election (at least, not right

As we crossed that imaginary line between N. Dakota and Minnesota, everything changed. The golden (aka brown) fields that stretched on forever were replaced with intense greenery and water everywhere. Though not the pretty, blue lakes I was expecting and hoping to see in this “land of 10,000 lakes.” Instead, I was confronted with algae

Anytime humans go out to play in nature, we know everything can change in an instant. And that includes the weather. We played in Glacier for 3 days, and we saw the exact same mountains, lakes, and waterfalls in totally different ways. Glacier was pretty rainy while we were there, but that’s why it’s so green

In our month on the road, there was a lot of rain. We should have known. On our first night of the trip (read here), we were battered with wind and rain outside of Grand Canyon NP. Our first night in Yellowstone surprised us with a thunderstorm so loud it even scared Domino (read here).

I didn’t know anything about this park and had zero expectations, but C had been most excited about this park the whole time. Neither of us were disappointed. Glacier is jaw-dropping at every turn.

Between Yellowstone and Glacier NP, we took a very much needed respite in Missoula, Montana. After a full week of camping, it was absolutely phenomenal to jump into a cozy bed and veg out on TV. We definitely didn’t explore the town as much as we would have had we just been on a regular
