• The Narrows | Zion National Park

    It’s always been a dream of mine to hike The Narrows in Zion National Park. I’ve always seen images of tiny slot canyons with a river rushing through it, and I wanted to experience it myself. A few weeks ago, one of my cousins and I decided to meet up in St. George, Utah and do a few hikes in Zion National Park. To say I was excited was an understatement! Our first full day in Zion we wanted to hike The Narrows. I had done a bit of researching online before we went to see what all we would need. I mean, I knew the water would be freezing,…

  • Meow Wolf | Santa Fe, New Mexico

    With all the cold weather we’re having in Dallas this weekend, I keep reminiscing of memories of visiting the desert – somewhere warm! Our trip to Taos, New Mexico a few years ago did not disappoint. We hit up some really interesting places like Ojo Caliente and the El Santuario De Chimayo.

Donovan and his friend Jesse had been talking about this place called Meow Wolf all day, so the girls caved and we all decided to go check it out. The best way to describe…

  • Ojo Caliente Spa | Ojo Caliente, New Mexico

    A few weeks ago, I posted about our Easter trip to Taos, New Mexico and mentioned our afternoon at Ojo Caliente, so I wanted to share a bit more about our experience. When we were planning our trip to Taos, my parents told us about Ojo Caliente, the hot springs located near Taos. My dad joked and said Ojo Caliente was too rustic, and that we would be better spent at Ten Thousand Waves . We called both to try to set spa appointments, and Ojo Caliente had availability, so that’s where we decided to go! Ojo Caliente is an unincorporated community about an hour north of Santa Fe, but…

  • Taos, New Mexico

    A few years ago, I found some really cheap airfare to Albuquerque for Easter weekend. If you know me at all, you know I’m a sucker for a cheap flight. Donovan groans every time I find affordable airfare because usually it means we have to ride coach. Ha! Someone has become accustomed to getting bumped up to first class! I went to Albuquerque/Santa Fe a few years prior with my parents, but I had never been to Taos. Donovan had never been to either location, so we felt this would be a good place to explore together. Because I booked the cheap flight, we were literally on the first flight…
