Golden Phoenix- Rapid City, SD

26 January 2021 Get this: we left Fort Laramie and headed to our next destination, but got caught in a small snow storm. When we spoke with the locals, they said it had came out of no where. Did we say our hotel was past our destination, down several mountain passes and 30 minutes eastContinue reading “Golden Phoenix- Rapid City, SD”

Black Hills National Forrest

25 January 2021 We traveled to South Dakota in the Summer for Emily’s birthday. The central area we explored was not overly pretty, nor were the people exceptionally friendly. However, this Winter visit was much prettier; the people- no real change. We traveled North until we arrived in South Dakota. Fort Laramie to the BlackContinue reading “Black Hills National Forrest”

Fort Laramie in Wyoming

24 January 2021 We love history! History we both enjoy is American war history. Only about 1.5 hours from where we stayed in Cheyenne was a Fort. With our love of American war history, why wouldn’t we go? Emily was entertaining as every 20-30 minutes with enthusiasm would say, “Mountains!” We live in Kansas: weContinue reading “Fort Laramie in Wyoming”

City Brew Coffee- Rocky Mountain Region

22 January 2021 We have learned that sometimes, you have to eat/drink at the chain places. It’s sad, but major branded coffee houses have driven the mom & pop places out of business. When we travel, we almost always need an extra jolt of caffeine to keep going another 100 or 300 miles down theContinue reading “City Brew Coffee- Rocky Mountain Region”

Best Western Plus: Frontier Inn- Cheyenne, Wyoming

21 January 2021 We are usually big Best Western fans, but after this trip, will probably find different lodging. The front desk was nice enough upon arrival, but after we got to our room, we were never able to reach them. We called three different times and never got a response. Thankfully, one of ourContinue reading “Best Western Plus: Frontier Inn- Cheyenne, Wyoming”

Hambones Pizza- Cheyenne, Wyoming

19 January 2020 Yesterday we returned from an extended weekend trip. Though we are not saying exactly where we ended up just yet, take the next week to enjoy posts about different pieces of our mini-vacation. After a long day on the road, we were ready to chill at the hotel. We had endured higherContinue reading “Hambones Pizza- Cheyenne, Wyoming”

Time for Change

19 January 2021 Remember when we said good things were coming in 2021? Something unforeseeable came up at the end of 2020: Chris received a job offer. Today, Chris begins in the shop at his work as a Diesel Technician. He is looking forward to learning new skills and growing his future. Happy first day,Continue reading “Time for Change”

Flashback Date

29 December 2019 Columbus Zoo in Ohio When visiting Ohio last year, we were able to do many fun activities. A thing on Emily’s childhood bucket list was to visit the Columbus Zoo. For those who are not familiar, Columbus Zoo was made famous by Jungle Jack Hanna. When driving back from Cleveland, we learnedContinue reading “Flashback Date”

Smorgasbords ICT

1 January 2021 Happy to be back with you all in the new year. We hope your year started off swell. We wanted to share our NYE with you. We decided to treat ourselves to a charcuterie board. While the board was a bit steep in price at $60, we felt every penny was wellContinue reading “Smorgasbords ICT”

2020: Flop or Beautiful Adventure?

When 2020 began we were looking forward to lots of trips, eating at new places, and various activities. As the first quarter came to an end, the country and the World began to shut its doors to enthusiastic travelers. We were initially disappointed, but were fully committed to our plan of making 2020 a greatContinue reading “2020: Flop or Beautiful Adventure?”
