Bath, England- We were only here two nights, but we made the best of it starting with an elegant tea time in Bath at a spot called the Pump Room with live classical music, quite the experience. This is the spot where the Romans once had their public baths for soaking and socializing (one still remains…

Sheep, Stones, Rainbows, Guinness, and Green
Endless green hills and pastures, Guinness galore, people with passion and personalities, sprinkles of sheep and tiny farms, stone walls and thatched roofs, historic castles, rainbows and shamrocks, are a few things that come to mind when thinking back to me short time in Ireland.The marvelous Cliffs of MoherAn Irish pub in a tiny town…
London
London is a lovely place. We had the luxury of some local family members showing us around, so of course I had to see Nottinghill and went searching for the blue door near the historic book store.Like the treasure at the end of the rainbow, where is Hugh Grant now that I found the blue…
The Cotswolds
We flew in early this morning on a red eye flight straight from Denver and got a rental car in a blur to drive to Oxford, England. We stopped at Cafe CoCo there to have our first [of many] basic English breakfast: grilled tomato, baked beans, eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, and toast (opting out of the…
Sawtooth National Forest in Sun Valley

Exploring Wild Wyoming
Prepping for camping was tough but half the fun! I just loved to start thinking about being out there days before our road trip began, cooking in our new cast iron pot and skillet out in Wyoming’s wilderness on our new camp stove. I pre-made a Mexican casserole, Shish kabobs, homefries, and Browned Butter Strawberry…
Denver: New and Old Friends, Red Rocks, and The Wild Animal Sanctuary
This was a fun day out for a birthday brunch at Highland Tap and Burger–wives and babies included but not pictured. After we ate, we walked over to a nice and breezy beer garden in LoHi called Recess. Chris introduced me to a short day hike in the Red Rocks Park area. Afterwards we…
Raining Coffee and Beer
To start the day, I had coffee at Common Grounds prior to an interview in downtown Denver, which I thought went quite well. Then I walked a ways down the road and met a friend we all know as Cyrus at Purple Door Coffee. After doing some work there we had lunch at this awesome…
