I called last year "the best winter of my life" because I skied more than I ever had in one season. While I got nowhere near last year's impressive nine-day mark, this ski season has been absolutely incredible.

That’s a Wrap on Ski Season
It’s the last day of March and that means ski season is over for most, and winding down for the rest. I have said it so many times: I just had the best winter of my life spent at home because I got to ski so much. Thanks Dad! We started the ski season off… Continue reading That’s a Wrap on Ski Season
What it’s really like to ski during the COVID-19 pandemic
I want to preface this post by saying I was super nervous to ski during the pandemic. It turned out to be a lovely time. It’s winter and there’s only one good thing that comes with that: ski (and snowboard) season. My awesome dad (also known as Rippin’ Russ while on the mountain) planned a… Continue reading What it’s really like to ski during the COVID-19 pandemic
Cross Country Road Trip 2.0: Wrapped Up
One week and 3,000 miles later, I completed my second cross-country road trip with my partner in travel. It was another trip full of irreplaceable memories and I am, as always, grateful to have another unforgettable adventure with my Pop Pop. https://youtu.be/nwex0PdSU2U
CA to NJ: Day 8 — Homeward bound
The last day of the cross country trip arrived, and I had never been more excited to get on the road. “Why?” you may ask. Well, the previous night I told Pop Pop that I saw a town that didn’t seem too far off of the route and told him I would love to stop… Continue reading CA to NJ: Day 8 — Homeward bound
CA to NJ: Day 7 — Two Cities, One Day
Pop Pop and I were on a roll today! We packed up my roof bag and secured it to my car and left Chicago early in the morning for Cleveland, Ohio. I was really trying to see places I probably would not have a reason to visit in my lifetime, so I decided on Cleveland,… Continue reading CA to NJ: Day 7 — Two Cities, One Day
CA to NJ: Day 6 — The Windy City
Pop Pop and I had a busy day planned for Chicago. I almost forgot to even mention the first stop in our plans because it was definitely not the experience we had hoped for. I of course told Pop Pop we just had to visit the Sky Deck, which features a glass balcony extending four feet… Continue reading CA to NJ: Day 6 — The Windy City
CA to NJ: Day 5 — A Long Road to Chicago
I know I said our next stop is Chicago, but Pop Pop and I had a way to go before we reached the Windy City. The road from South Dakota to Illinois was full of highs and lows. We started the morning with a visit to Sioux Falls, which is pictured below. However, our schedule for… Continue reading CA to NJ: Day 5 — A Long Road to Chicago
CA to NJ: Day 4 (Pt. 2) — The Badlands
Pop Pop and I continued our journey to Badlands National Park from the Agate Fossil Beds. Unfortunately, we missed the whole drive through the park because we hit an Indian Reservation who illegally wouldn’t let us through. In their defense, they were understandably trying to protect themselves from coronavirus. Alas, we did get to see… Continue reading CA to NJ: Day 4 (Pt. 2) — The Badlands
CA to NJ: Day 4 — Nebraskan Fossil Beds
Finally, the road trip officially started! Pop Pop and I left the Fort Collins Best Western on Thursday, Sept. 24, but we made sure to stop at my favorite pancake destination, Urban Egg, which I discovered last year on the road trip out to California. It was my first time eating indoors during the pandemic,… Continue reading CA to NJ: Day 4 — Nebraskan Fossil Beds
