…and back to the desert we go. The photo below was our last trip to Arizona when I was eight months pregnant with Mason. We can’t wait to raise our family in the desert! We started our life as a married couple in Tucson, Arizona eight years ago and it’s…
When we moved the Pacific Northwest, hiking quickly became part of our life. Most weekends we opt for urban hiking on city trails close to our house like Discovery Park or Carkeek Park. Packing up and planning to take two kids under three is a lot of work. When we…
After taking our first trip to the San Juan Islands last Fall, we knew we would be back! Our first island visit was to Orcas Island in the off season. We took a late Fall trip to Roche Harbor this time. We woke early and were in Anacortes to catch…
