Salt Lake City, Moab, and Capital Reef NP Utah – July 2019 – Big Rocks, Climbing, Great Mexican Food

February 13, 2020 //  by Tom

Moab in July!?  Yes it was hot and very sunny, but we still had an amazing time over the July 4th holiday out in the desert.  Salt Lake City was the touchdown point and then we would start the adventure to the salt flats and then south to Moab, but first we had to find some food after the early flight.  Originally we targeted a few of the popular brunch places to find a hearty breakfast before the long drive, but they all seemed to have over an hour wait...  The Red Iguana popped up as nearby …

Door County Wisconsin – Cape Cod of the Midwest

February 3, 2018 //  by Tom

For the long Labor Day weekend, we decided to stay close to home and be tourists in our neighboring state. Just 3 hours drive north into Wisconsin, we found ourselves in Door County, where some call it the Cape Cod of the Midwest. We’ll be honest and admit we were skeptical at first, but we were wrong! Granted, we have never been to Cape Cod, but we did however find Door County to be charming, quaint and relatively affordable. We camped at Potawatomi State Park, and drove in a loop around …

Going to the Sun Road GNP – All of the Views, None of the Sweat

January 13, 2018 //  by Tom

Amazing Auto Tour Glacier NPS - Going to the Sun Road Going to the Sun road is easily the most scenic drive in the country. Starting from the West Glacier entrance, the road follows Lake McDonald’s length, affording views of the biggest lake in GNP and the mountains surrounding it. After Lake McDonald, the road follows a river upstream, where the water is so clean and pure that it sparkles a cool turquoise hue. Trees and mountains surround us on both sides, while far ahead snow capped mountains …

Japan Adventures – Tokyo and Kyoto – Travel with Tom and Priscilla

May 13, 2017 //  by Tom

The Journey to Japan We had heard a lot about Japan, but knew nothing of it. Priscilla attempted to learn Japanese while in college, and growing up in Asia meant consuming a good amount of Japanese TV shows that were popular in the 90s. Besides that, she would say she did not know much about the culture. Tom, as always, loved the adventure and a chance to take a five-day long break before the next flight to Singapore (Japan was our long layover). Japan wasted no time to show us how efficient …
