I don’t know what you picture when you picture cities, but Tucson was not how I pictured it. It was way bigger than I thought it was going to be and it was so spread out! From one end to the other took like 45 minutes! Basically nestled in between two mountains. I’m from Cleveland …
We made it to another National Park! I’m sure instagram has a lot to do with this, but I seriously never realized how many amazing places there were in the USA. Stupid I know! So when we went to Tucson and I realized they had a National Park amongst them we HAD to go. Ricky’s …
Awww Sedonaaaaaa. If you read the travel tips, you know we flew into Phoenix first, if not, now you do. We rented our car Sunday morning and drove up to Sedona. It’s a 2 hour drive which is easy peasy. We really only had one day in Sedona so we drove and hiked to see …

Day 4 We stayed in Marysville the previous night so we had about a 4 hour drive to Yosemite. We stopped in Sacramento along the way because Dee wanted me to buy her some Philz Coffee. It’s a company that’s only in CA and some fighter she follows is always talking about their mojito coffee …

In 2017 we did a family reunion in Tahoe. Oh man. It was amazing!!! We ALL loved it sooo much! So that was part of the reasoning for going through Tahoe was just to see it all again. It’s so beautiful. Driving in it was a cool 50 degrees but they had just had a …
