Day 6 was hellish. Not gonna lie.   The whole previous day I couldn’t get warm. No matter how many layers I had on I was freezing. Cue symptoms of getting sick. I fell asleep feeling off and I woke up with a sore throat and runny nose. Not long after I started running a […]

Last night we decided to just drive until dusk and then find another random pull off for the night. Sometimes you are in the middle of nowhere and can’t find a campground when you need one anyways. We found another grass and gravel pull off of the road that went a ways off the road […]

Last night we camped off of some gravel pull off behind some trees at the base of that giant crater. It was not on private property, there were no “no camping” signs, and since in Iceland you can camp anywhere as long as you keep those two rules in mind, we just plopped ourselves down, […]

First off, about last night.   We saw the Northern Lights! It was amazing. The only thing missing was my husband at my side. I miss him so much!   It was going to be a short night since we were picking up my sister at the airport, so we decided to sleep in the […]

Last night. was. cold. I slept in my 20 degree bag in a fleece blanket, in my winter jacket with an extra sleeping bag on top of me. I did finally warm up but it took a long while. By 5 am I stripped off my winter coat and went back to sleep.   We […]

First of all, I’m typing this on my phone so pardon any spelling errors!   The last two days have flooown by. Part of it fun, part of it not.   Not all my posts will be this long I promise. The hype will wear off.   My sister Sarah, my mom and I were […]

We finally did it! We hiked Mt. Marcy. Highest Peak in NY. (And by we, I mean my family and I minus Adam. Adam wasn’t much up to an all day hike.)   We’d spent the weekend boating, kneeboarding, tubing, and playing sports and I was pretty beat up, sore and tired. Thus, I wasn’t […]

Last minute, my uncle called and wanted to know if Adam and I wanted to go pick up a van for him in Maine, all expenses paid. Free road trip, why not?   It was a long drive, and we had pretty crappy weather all weekend, but I just wanted to post the few pictures […]

Ever since I met my husband he’s been ranting and raving about how awesome his childhood camping trips to Algonquin were. Now, I finally got to experience it all for myself. I tried to think of one word to sum it all up but couldn’t so I chose three phrases: Gorgeously solitary, adventureously memorable, physically […]

We were supposed to take a day trip to Cayos Cochinos, a portion of the bay islands that have beautiful aqua water. However, we got rained out and the trip was cancelled. So we spent the day relaxing at the house.   The next day we left my in laws at the ferry to Roatan. […]
