Rocky Mountain National Park: Today we were supposed to head towards Fort Collins as we had tour reservations at the New Belgium Brewery. But, we loved the Rocky Mountain National Park so much that we decided to have breakfast in the park. We grabbed some donuts and coffee at the Donut Haus (where the original owner […]
Rocky Mountain National Park: I woke up this morning excited to make my way back into Rocky Mountain National Park. Today we were going to hike to Bear Lake and Emerald Lake. It would be a short hike (less than 5 miles), but remembering that there aren’t many places to find drinking water, I made […]
Rocky Mountain National Park: Denver was great, but today was the day that I had really been looking forward to. We were headed to Rocky Mountain National Park! Nisheet’s boss used to live in Colorado and advised us that I-70 west was a beautiful drive, so we planned to hop on 70 West and then […]
Denver: We got up early today thinking we would get a head start on all the other tourists wanting to explore Denver. Maybe we got up a little too early. There was no one around when we got into Denver, and nothing was open. Part of the problem was that The Taste of Colorado wasn’t […]
Denver Airport: If you know me well, you know that Nisheet and I have a tradition of going on vacation around Labor Day. The weather is still decent, we can use less vacation days from work because of the holiday, and a lot of kids have started school and aren’t traveling. This year, we decided […]
I started this week off stressing because Nisheet and I did not have any plans for the 4th of July, and I couldn’t find any plane tickets for a reasonable price. We both had an extra day off from work, and I couldn’t just sit at home when there are so many cities to visit […]
Written by Ashley: Unfortunately, my birthday weekend this year was very bittersweet. My Uncle Al passed away, but that meant I got to spend the weekend in Washington DC with family. On my birthday, Nisheet and I got up really early and took the first flight out of Chicago. When we were landing in DC, […]
Written by Ashley: My genius big brother is getting his PhD and moving back to TN, so Nisheet and I decided we better take advantage of one more trip to New York while we still have a free place to crash. Plus, we hadn’t seen him in forever! We planned to spend the first day […]
Sleeping Bear Dunes: Two years ago for Labor Day Weekend, Nisheet and I did a very quick version of the Lake Michigan Circle Tour (only 4 days), and our very favorite place on that trip was Sleeping Bear Dunes. So, this year we decided to go back and spend the entire weekend camping and exploring […]
The Last Shuttle Launch Nisheet and I were lucky enough to travel to Florida to see the last shuttle launch. My good friend Allison is amazing and got us onto the space center and patiently answered a million of our questions about the shuttle. Allison and her fiancé, Pete, also let us stay at their […]
