Tranquil Yellowstone Adventure
May 12-19, 2021 Yellowstone National Park quickly became my favorite to visit after my first trip there in 2019. It took me some time to realize it wasn’t only because of the unbelievable scenery and natural wonders, but the excitement of seeing the abundant wildlife. After my first trip in 2019, I stopped again withContinueContinue reading “Tranquil Yellowstone Adventure”
Why Can’t I Write This?
Blog Posts I love visiting National Parks, it is my true passion. It was sparked by a need to feel like a Floridian and visit the national parks where I live and then later by a desire to see beautiful natural places. I started “blogging” a little over a year ago and beginning with documentingContinueContinue reading “Why Can’t I Write This?”

The Greatest Grand Canyon Jaunt
March 30 – April 2 With only a 2 hour drive ahead of us from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon National Park we took it easy in the morning and slept in!

The Start of an Obsession
The Perfect Gift For months after my trip to Everglades National Park I contemplated buying a real camera, other than the one that came equipped on my phone, it was an iPhone 4S after all, an ancient relic even when I was using it. I researched and read reviews, I shopped online and went toContinueContinue reading “The Start of an Obsession”
Finally a Floridian
March 2014 After graduating from university I moved to Central Florida to pursue a career at the Walt Disney World Resort.
