Bryce Canyon NP was magical . The hikes were nervy thanks to my vertigo and slight altitude issues but it was so so so good

How I wish . This was in page AZ . There is a shell gas station out there and you can walk out to this cave like structure from there and views are phenomenal . I do plan to do a Bryce trip next month though

I’m back from Utah , Zion National Park to be very specific and the weekend away has done wonders for my mental health . Love the national parks we have and all that they do for a lot of people like me.

Last week , this time , we decided to retrace our most epic first date in NYC , despite the pouring rain . It was the most romantic yet most stupid thing we ever did , because a week later both of us are sick and sniffling . But I did want to share some pics somewhere so here we go .

Now , I did know I was in bear country but I did not expect to see a bunch of bears on a heavily trafficked hiking trail and didn’t expect them to be this chill / menacing at the same time . This photo was taken by the husband as yours truly was genuinely freaked out by bears on the trail

Bad Girl was a movie I was so looking forward to because I’m a girl who felt stifled and silenced in a somewhat religiously conservative household , rebelled in ways I could and was genuinely hyped about a movie focusing on a woman . Pity it’s not getting a release in my city :(

There are a lot of downsides to 5:00 am flights , especially when you spend the previous night partying with one’s much younger cousins . The sunrise is not definitely one of
