Sandboarding and Sand Sledding at Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado

09 Nov Sandboarding the Sand Dunes in Colorado

Posted at 10:00h in Blog, Colorado, National Parks, Outdoor Adventure, United States

As the board tipped slightly off kilter, I went flying off the edge and rolled down the hill. Sand caked every inch of my body. With a laugh and a quick dusting off, I was ready to go at it again. There would be time...

We made our way to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to vis We made our way to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to visit family for the Thanksgiving holiday. We had a great time playing games, relaxing, chatting, and eating a delicious turkey dinner! And we even managed to get out and explore a bit, too! We stopped at the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum, went rock climbing at Summit OKC Silos, checked out Bricktown Brewery, visited North Pole City which is a gigantic Christmas store, and walked along the Bricktown Canal. There’s so much more we want to do in Oklahoma City someday, so we are excited to have a good reason to return: family. Thanks for hosting us, @annamariemartyna, @_chasfoster, and @braxtenfoster! Here are some photos from the museum and the Bricktown Canal. The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum was done so well—it showcases the history of the Oklahoma City Bombing and remembers all those who were lost in the event. Throughout the museum, we were led through the events of the fateful day in 1995, the aftermath, the trial, and more. It’s so sad to think that events like the Oklahoma City Bombing even take place, but it’s important to remember history and learn from it when you have the chance.
The Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina, is abso The Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina, is absolutely ginormous! After a job in Asheville, we had a free morning before our flight home, so we made a stop at the Biltmore to take a look around. We didn’t plan ahead, so tickets to tour the house were booked up until after our flight departed. Instead, we got tickets to tour the grounds. We spent about 4 hours at the property and barely made a dent in all the things there are to see. We walked around a portion of the gardens, checked out the outside of the house, stopped in the gift shop, and had lunch at the Stable Cafe. You really could spend days exploring this estate—the castle has 250 rooms and the grounds cover 8,000 acres. There is even a winery on site! Even though we just had a glance at the property, we had a wonderful time, and hopefully we can spend a whole day exploring the Biltmore next time we are in town!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends in the US Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends in the USA! 🦃 We snapped these festive fall photos when we were in Asheville working on a project for KOA. We were there just as the leaves were starting to change colors. The mountains in the area sure are beautiful, aren’t they?!
Portland, Maine, is such an adorable town! When we Portland, Maine, is such an adorable town! When we were in Maine for a work project, we planned an extra night in Portland on the back end of the trip. We didn’t have much time to explore, but we loved wandering around downtown and looking at all the beautiful buildings. Our home base for the night was the downtown Portland AC Hotel by Marriott, and for dinner we walked a couple of blocks to Duck Fat. We sat at a table outside and loved our meal—we shared an order of the Hand Cut Belgian Fries with a Flight of Sauces, Poutine (yes, I know that’s more fries!), Cauliflower Salad, and a Milkshake. It may not have been the healthiest of dinners, but it was fantastic. We kept the trend going for the next morning when we stopped at Hi Fi Donuts for coffee and donuts, which by the way was also delicious 😋 Next time we are in town, we will have to do more than just eat!
