We were in the highs of blogging when we decided to buy a house…located in the middle of no where. For a few months we lived with Emily’s parents and then transitioned into our “forever home.” Little did we know that was only the start of our wild adventure. While we are not sharing theContinue reading “We bought a house!”

Many things have happened recently. We have been all over Kansas and all over part of the United States. We’ve celebrated many holidays, eaten so much tasty food, and been basking in our biggest blessing- TWO baby boys. Our goal is to catch you all up: we hope you’ll enjoy reading about our last year.Continue reading “We Are Back…”

3 February 2021 We love diners! We feel diners are the backbone of American culture. When we are in a town with a diner, we try to stop in…especially when they have high reviews. Lincoln Highway Diner was amazing! The ladies were great! They checked on us an adequate amount and left us feeling likeContinue reading “Lincoln Highway Diner- North Platte, NE”

2 February 2021 We decide on the road we were not going to make it to Wichita in one day. We looked for a hotel along our route to stay in for the night. (For reference that is something we never do as it does not give us enough time to thoroughly look into ourContinue reading “Days Inn- North Platte, NE”

1 February 2021 After our exploration on the mountainside, we drove for quite some time. By about 4:30 PM we were dragging. We were praying to see a gas station or coffeehouse. Our prayers were heard! We pulled into this tiny town with a pharmacy. Not what you were thinking, huh? Attached to the pharmacyContinue reading “Just Love Coffee Cafe in Chadron, NE”

31 January 2021 Right around the time Emily began lamenting about her hunger. She looked out the window and discovered Crazy Horse had a restaurant. It is difficult to say who was most thankful to see the restaurant, Emily or Chris. 😉 The host was very nice. She even accommodated our request at sitting nextContinue reading “Crazy Horse: Laughing Water- Part 2”

30 January 2021 About 30 minutes from Mount Rushmore is another amazing and currently in the making historical monument. As kids we had learned about Crazy Horse, both the monument and the person. We hadn’t received an update in several years and thought we would go and check it out for ourselves. The museum hasContinue reading “Crazy Horse- Part 1”

29 January 2021 You didn’t really think we were going to post the location as the title did you? We drove through a cool tunnel and down a winding road to… We walked straight to the monument, took some pictures, and then decided to grab ice-cream. An ice-cream recipe, two cones, and one bottle ofContinue reading “🎼America the Beautiful🎶”

28 January 2021 Sometime we will share where our inspiration comes from when traveling, but for now, we will share another adventure. Before we got caught in a snow storm, we stopped in to another National Park. While we did not get to see the cavern (thanks Covid), we were able to see the prettyContinue reading “Wind Cave National Park- Hot Springs, SD”

27 January 2021 By the time we got out of the snow storm and down the dark mountainside we were ready to chill for the night. Originally, we were going to stay at Sleep Inn, which we already had a reservation for. Upon arrival, there was only one car in the parking lot. We skatedContinue reading “Comfort Suites Hotel & Convention Center- Rapid City, SD”
