After getting burned out on camping years ago, when we had one toddler and our lives revolved around her, we put camping away on the shelf of things that were just far too difficult to enjoy at the time. With all the packing of toys and diapers and snacks and things, it all seemed entirely […]
Our fourth day on the island. Our final day on the island. I always feel a little melancholy on the last day of vacation because I know the end is near and I never want my vacations to end. Sunday was our fourth day and it started with a gentle sunrise and a cup of […]
It’s no secret that I love to travel. My husband jokes that I start planning my next vacation when I go on vacation, and it’s hard to argue that because well…. it’s kind of true! It always gives me something to look forward to. We did go to Key West in October right after Hurricane […]
Kayaking. What a beautiful word. Peaceful, adventurous, quiet, simple, gentle, relaxing. When I think of my kayak, this plethora of visions run through my mind. My love affair with paddling started some 8ish years ago when an old co-worker was kind enough to offer up his set of kayaks for us to take out for […]
After much anticipation, we finally dusted off our old kayaks and broke in the new ones this past weekend. On Saturday morning, we made the hour and a half drive down to Sullivan[ish], MO to take our virgin Meramec River float. Robby and I have had kayaks for years. They mostly just take up space […]
I have now been blogging about [mostly] Missouri travel for over one year. When I came up with the idea for this blog, I had one story in particular that rang through the forefront of my mind. Now here we are, an entire year later, and I’ve still not told the story about Dillard […]

Ugh. But today my Missouri friends, I am going to divulge some Missouri stuff. Float trips and camping. What’s […]
The Carl Noren Access to the Missouri is located just on the north side of the Jefferson City bridge. The area has a short nature trail, boat ramp, and parking for those using the pedestrian bridge. The views are wonderful!
Let’s face it. Missouri isn’t very picturesque during the winter. I look outside and all I see is death. Death of the grass. Death of the trees. Death of all my beautiful flowers. Death. Death. Death. See? Death. Therefore, I went in search of the one thing that I can always count on to be beautiful […]
I’m sitting here at my desk. It’s January. January= Dreary in Missouri. We had the most beautiful weather yesterday. It hit 70 something degrees, sun was shining, and of course I had to work. Poo. I should be grateful for my job and blah, blah, blah but seriously…. IT WAS 70 SOMETHING DEGREES IN JANUARY!!! […]
Being a new parent is hard. Hard for many reasons but one of those being the lifestyle adjustment you must make for the little one. Robby and I have found that to be one of our toughest battles. Parenthood means not being able to go and do what you please and when you please. Thankfully, […]
