As we have been saying lately, there are so many unique off the strip adventures in Las Vegas. We had such a fun time stepping away from the glitz and glam of the more traditional Las Vegas haunts, and exploring a bit different side of...
We are not club people at all. Perhaps that might be one reason why Las Vegas had always been low on our priority list—I always thought there wasn’t much else to do there besides clubbing and gambling. So, when we booked our tickets, I decided...
After looking at the typical August temperatures for Las Vegas and the current forecast of 106º, we decided that it might be best to explore the Red Rock Canyon area by car. I desperately wanted to explore the nature surrounding the city, and taking a...
Have you ever wondered what happens to all the neon signs in Las Vegas when they get upgraded or tossed aside for something better? If you answer is no, you are probably in the majority, but you might want to starting thinking about it because...
To continue on with our adventures off the strip, our next activity was kayaking the Black Canyon in the Colorado River. The Black Canyon is located south of the Hoover Dam, so the water is nice and peaceful due to the controlled output from the...

After getting rained out from camping, we made our way down to Duluth for some much needed sunshine. We were deciding between a few activities to occupy our day, and ended up booking tickets for a boat tour on Lake Superior with Vista Fleet to...
We sprinted toward the chairlift just as they closed the rope to the entrance. After an out of breath, "are we too late?", they told us to hop on, but quickly! The alpine slide was closing for the day and we made it on with...
Although there are numerous trails at Cascade River State Park, we had our eyes set on hiking two of them. We wanted to hike the 3.5 mile loop to Lookout Mountain and the 7 mile trail that follows the Cascade River. Due to lack of...
When we realized that our summer was slowly slipping away and we had yet to plan one camping trip, we quickly got our calendars out and snapped up the first open dates we had. Since it ended up being a last minute trip, there wasn’t...
