A Bit Smitten
We rounded out our tour of Massachusetts with our last night in Cape Cod at Shawme Crowell Campground. Of course you can’t stay in a small adorable town like Sandwich and not stop at local ice creamery. Before heading back to our campsite, we sat on the front lawn and I enjoyed my peanut butter…
D.C. or Bust
We don’t travel to many cities on this trip, primarily because being a solo city-goer with a dog really limits your experience. So instead of dwelling on it, I stick to things we love which means outdoor adventures. But this time around, we are staying with friends in the beautiful state of Maryland so that means,…
The Magic of Shenandoah
I spent a memorable 3 days at Shenandoah National Park and I’m so happy I did. Originally it wasn’t even on my radar or on my impromptu itinerary, until I started heading north and did a little research. My expectations were set pretty low, solely due to my lack of area knowledge. My camp spot was on the…
East Coast
After spending the week on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and not seeing any horses (Insert Sad Face), it was time to leave the coast and head inland with a final destination of Shenandoah National Park. I had a few days to kill before that so I picked a spot on the map and…
On The Road Again
Our first week back on the road is in full swing and we are stoked! Our new tent (Mountain Hardware Optic 2.5) is amazing and has withstood the rain every night this week… thank goodness! There is something about the rain on a tent that is so peaceful which could be why I’ve had some…

Camping in the Heat
The last couple weeks I’ve traveled from Texas to Florida. It probably wasn’t my smartest plan to travel to the south in the summer but it was definitely a learning experience. Florida is a beautiful state, so green and lush, with so much more wildlife than I ever expected. During my time here, I have seen monkeys, alligators,…
From Texas to Louisiana
I spent the last almost 3 weeks in Austin staying with my gracious friends in their beautiful air-conditioned home and it was glorious. Austin is a fun and adventurous city. There is always something to do; from the swimming holes (when they are open and not flooding) to the concerts, festivals, hikes and urban trails. It…
