Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, Las Vegas, NV

After visiting the Hoover Dam, we decided to go to Las Vegas! It was only a 40 minute drive. I won't bore you with the details, but it was a hot day at the Hoover Dam, and an even hotter day in Vegas (Guess that's what happens when you visit the desert in June) So after gambling a bit, we decided talk walk over to Caesar's Palace and check out what they had there. By the time we made it into...

Devil's Bridge, AZ

Sedona is known for its many hiking trails and outdoor activities. So naturally, when planning our trip, I knew we had to do some type of hike through the red rocks. But the lazy girl in me knew that I wouldn't want to hike for very long, so after some research I found the Devil's Bridge. The Devil’s Bridge is the largest natural sandstone arch (54 feet tall) in the Sedona area. After showing...

6 Favorite Castle Ruins near Grafenwoehr

I love castle ruins. Sometimes I even prefer them to in-tact castles. For those with little ones you'll appreciate the fact that with castle ruins your little ones can run, climb, and touch whatever they want. I do love castle ruins for several reasons, it's free, you usually have to hike (keeps you active), it's pet friendly, and it's open all year round. It's the perfect Sunday activity...

Tuzigoot National Monument

If you were following along while we were living in Germany, you know that I absolutely love castle ruins. Thankfully, in Europe there is not shortage of ruins. Since the USA is such a young country and we tend to destroy things rather than preserve them, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there are ruins here in the USA! To be fair, Tuzigoot isn't actually castle ruins, they are ruins,...

Society6 Shop

I've gotten a few inquiries about my photos and if I sell any of them. It seriously brings the biggest smile to my face, especially since I am NOT a professional. I've decided to start selling some of my favorite photos as prints on Society6! I'm still tweaking around with the shop, but you can get prints for a decent price. Majority of the costs goes to the manufacture. I make about $2-$5...

Montezuma Castle National Monument

Ever heard of Montezuma, the famous Aztec emperor? Well unfortunately these ruins in Arizona are not where he once lived. When European-Americans first observed the ruins in the 1800s, by then long-abandoned, they named them for the famous Aztec emperor Montezuma in the mistaken belief that he had been connected to their construction. The dwelling had been abandoned more than 40 years before...
