I've always heard amazing things about Sedona, Arizona, but seeing it in person put a whole new perspective on this place. Sedona decided to really show off in honour of our arrival; we got in just two hours before a major snowstorm hit, and woke up to a magical and snowy winter wonderland. It's fairly [...]
I like to look back at all our travels at the end of each year and reflect on all the things that went... well.. not so smoothly. Sometimes it gives me a laugh, but more often than not it's just a reality check that things sometimes almost never go according to plan. We keep our [...]
Dillon Ice Castles Price: 12-21$ per person There are only 4 Ice Castle locations in the US, and Colorado has one of them! These castles are not to be missed. The castles are built by professional ice artists who place hundreds of thousands of icicles using their bare hands! There are frozen thrones, ice tunnels, [...]
Aspen Distance: 3.5 hours Aspen is a beautiful year-round destination, and only a short drive away from Denver! Although Aspen is famous for its golden Fall foliage and world-class skiing, I think this place is stunning year-round. There are lakes, rivers, bike paths, gondolas, kids areas, tons of hikes and really great food. Read our [...]
We went on a long weekend trip to Aspen, and, for the first time, I had nothing planned except for maybe hiking Maroon Bells and doing some night photography when the kids went to bed. The stars didn't quite align on that second part but I did get my first full night of sleep since [...]

We ate at one of the world's top restaurants, and yes, we took photos of everything. Central has consistently ranked in the top 10 best restaurants in the world, coming in 5th and 6th place in 2017 and 2018 respectively. So it only made sense that we check it out in our short 48 hour [...]
With only 48 hours in Peru, we had very little time to waste. So to make the most of it, we made reservations at the fifth best restaurant in the world - Central Restaurant. We don't go to sit-downs often due to conflicting potty/diaper/food/snack/food-throwing/tantrum/socks/nap/etc schedules, so we were really living on the edge here. We [...]
We get a lot of questions about what camera and gear we have on hand, so here's the low-down on what we bring on our adventures. Camera Canon 5D Mark IV A personal preference, but I'm absolutely in love with this camera! 24-105mm Lens With two kids and one always on me in the carrier, [...]
