California Travel
It’s sad to hear of all of the damage being done by the fires out in California. Some of the places that we traveled on our trip last year have definitely been affected. On our trip we tried to cover a lot of Southern California from San Diego up to […]
California Travel
It’s hard to believe that our California trip was over a year ago. We really enjoyed our trip and got to see a lot. The highlights were the Big Sur area which was beautiful despite having a big detour from a landslide that closed the Pacific Coast Highway causing a […]
Spearfish South Dakota

Costa Rica Views
Our last stop on our Costa Rica trip was in the southern part of the country on the Osa Peninsula. A lot of this peninsula is preserved and hopefully will be protected as it has a high density of wildlife. We stayed at an Ecolodge called Lapa Rios that is […]
