Jeep Trip Out West



    My husband wants to take me on a two week trip, out west next summer in his jeep. He wants us to travel with a group of friends and find very mountainous trails in Colorado and California. In addition, he wants us to sleep between the jeeps, under the stars, at night in nothing more than a hammock. Now, I'm up for the sights. But, I am really not too sure about the idea of sleeping outdoors or traveling on some of those trails. He's been looking up some possible places for us to go. I'm starting to really have some concerns!! 


Check out this trail!! It's called Black Bear Pass.

Disney World

Traveling to Florida with My Family

I can't help but just love Disney World. My parents have a time share at Bonnet Creek and we are fortunate enough to go down there at least once a year. So...I'm a big kid at heart.

As far as parks are concerned, we usually visit all four. It can be very tiring. We usually need to take a break in between park visits to recuperate.

Sleepy time!!!
Chilling by the pool.

We usually disagree about our favorite parks.

My husband enjoys Epcot the best!
I love the Magic Kingdom!

There is always a beautiful topiary display at the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival during the spring months. This picture was taken in front of Spaceship Earth.





































 



Of Course, Downtown Disney has a lot to offer.


I can't believe she ate the
whole thing!!
   Ghiradellis is always a
    favorite stop. Go dad!




I love to go shopping and the Rainforest Cafe is a must do!!











I can't wait to go back!!

Rausch Creek Off Road Park

My husband loves to take his jeep and travel off road with his buddies. He insists on taking me along!!! We just recently went to Rausch Creek which is located in Pennsylvania. There are many trails to choose from and so many boulders and rocks to bounce around on.  The puddles are also very deep. 


Too bumpy!
I enjoyed looking at the leaves.











 
This hill was high!


We did get to visit Clover Hill Winery. The Concord is delicious.       
Give me a glass of wine by the fire anytime. I'll leave the off road trips to the boys!!

Yellowstone National Park



The Beauty of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone 

        Yellowstone National Park is at the top of my list of places to travel. There is so much natural beauty and amazement . My family and I stayed in the canyon area for about ten days. We were immersed in the wonders of the natural beauty of the falls. There were many sightseeing and hiking opportunities. My family loves to hike!

Hiking down Uncle Tom's Trail into the canyon requires a lot of energy. There are more than 300 steps that descend 500 feet down into the canyon. It can be a strenuous hike for some.



  


 My husband, children, and I had the opportunity to hike this challenging trail about eight years ago. It was one of the best family trips we have ever taken. I was so excited that I was able to hike this trail. The falls were just magnificent.
