Good Morning, from Bozeman, Montana, our new home for the month of July! The last time you heard from us, we were just settling into our sweet little mountain town in Colorado. We did, in fact, hike another 14000 footer and checked out a very cool beer festival in Dillon, CO, over my birthday weekend. Matthew also found a beautiful campsite for us right on Dillon Lake for the weekend. Dillon was only about 30 minutes from where we were staying in Georgetown, so again, Colorado made it so easy for us to get outside and enjoy the things we love to do! Friday night, our friends Sean and Dani joined us, and we checked out Dillon Dam Brewing for dinner and relaxed around the campfire. We had some very tasty s'mores (hot tip: use Reese's peanut butter cups instead of just a Hershey’s chocolate bar) and a rousing debate about whether we were looking at the Big Dipper or the Little Dipper. Matthew was right, of course, but I’m telling you the perspective was weird.   Saturday morning,...

Hey friends and fam! Thanks for following us on our latest adventure :) After four long days of driving and three nights in some questionable side-of-the-highway motels...We made it! Gus traveled like a champ. Some highlights along the way included our Night 1 stop in Erie, PA. This town seemed like it would be an absolute blast in the summer. We caught the sunset over Lake Erie and then grabbed some tacos and brews at Lavery Brewing Co. Toledo, Ohio was another nice pitstop on Day 2. We stopped to stretch our legs in the sunshine and enjoyed some iced coffees along a quiet riverside path. Night 3 we strolled through the main street in Grand Island, Nebraska. But we were really just driving as fast as we possibly could to get to our final destination-- Colorado!    Our home for the next month is in Georgetown, Colorado, a charming old mining town nestled in the mountains. It has a gorgeous little lake surrounded by a walking path and a surprising number of fishermen and women ...

Good afternoon from Colorado! What a wonderful week. We packed it full of epic hikes, tons of wildlife sightings, and good times spent with friends. Today we're on our way back east with clear heads, tired muscles, and an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for everything we've had the opportunity to experience this summer. We visited Rocky Mountain National Park this week, which we didn't even include on our original list of places to stop, but after visiting, you should add it to yours!  Hidden Falls Inspiration Point View of Tetons from Cascade Canyon Lake Solitude Teton Sunset Day 1- Today we decided to make up for one of the rainy days spent “indoors” last week and sneak one more hike in at Grand Teton National Park. This was a highly rated hike that I was really excited about. It started out in a unique way by taking a shuttle boat across the gorgeous Jenny Lake that offered great views of the Tetons. We could have hiked around the lake, but the journey was already 15 m...
