  • Day Outing to Bald Head Island

    Bald Head Island had been on my list right from the start when I had found out about the little island and lighthouse just south of Wilmington, NC. It fascinated me that it is the place that all these uber rich and celebrities go when they are wanting beach vacations in the Carolinas. I also…

  • Hammocks State Beach

    Camping behind sand dunes, sounds of ocean waves, salty skin. Tall beach grass, waves crashing, turning into wakes, card games at night. Starry night sky, black bears lurking about. Knot tying, screws in sounds, breakfast with Elvis. With love, jess

  • Emigration with the roomie

  • Wild Horses and Beaches

I am sitting here in my hotel room currently after having a very delicious brunch in…..thinking of the city I am currently in….still thinking…..just checked google maps (Tulsa, by the way).

  • Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas

    I got put on put on a trip out of base two days before Christmas. I went grocery shopping the day before the trip and then cooked and baked to take a little Christmas with me. I made a Mushroom Wellington packed all of the vegetables I could and to top it off I made…

  • Halloween 2020

    What do you do when you land in Charlotte, NC on Halloween? You grab a beer at Wooden Robot Brewery A popsicle at Popbar and bring it all together with a doughnut at Reigning Doughnuts. We stuck mainly to the NODA neighborhood which is at the 36th street city train line and lucky for all…

  • Historic Jamestown

    It has now been a week since my visit to Williamsburg and Jamestown and I am now back in Utah. Autumn has finally arrived here the leaves have changed and are falling in the valley and we are expecting snow by this weekend. I am also wrapped up in my wool blanket, a sweater and…

  • Colonial Williamsburg

    We got to Williamsburg last Monday evening unpacked the car then settled in for the night. The day Kelsey and I had talked about going to Williamsburg for October I went ahead and booked an Airbnb for us so that way it would be done and we wouldn’t have to stress about that part. I…
