The day dawned sunny and warm in Park Slope, so welcome after all the hail & gloom of the Midwest. We discovered we had a guest visiting the planter box outside Molly & Sean’s kitchen window. I dragged Tako out of the house as soon as I was able to get dressed, eager to start … More Day 33 (Day): Brooklyn, the Bridge & Manhattan
My Rapid City post is going to be extremely quick because we didn’t get to do much that you didn’t already see on my IG. Downtown Rapid City is beautiful. They had parklets on every corner… …and the town is full of brick, which of course is my catnip. Brick is literally everywhere. And how … More Day 27: Rapid City
I drove through Cody, Wyoming (named for Buffalo Bill himself…a dubious distinction) to get to the place I was staying in Greybull last night. Did you know that Cody is the rodeo capital of the world? I did not. During the summer, they have a Nite Rodeo every night of the week. Every night, guys. … More Day 26: Not A Whole Lot
Driggs, Idaho is home to the best bagel shop in the world: Big Hole Bagels & Bistro. Come at me, NYCers. I will fight you on this. One thing I found a little odd (or at least noteworthy) is that the café is staffed by children. I swear on whatever you deem holy that not … More Day 25: Yellowstone, Shoshone, Buffalo Bill & Central Wyoming
Today, I quickly discovered that you could spend an entire week in Yellowstone and not see everything. This park is humungous. It’s so big that I drove about a third of it, and still spent 5 hours in the park. It covers so much space that the weather is different throughout the park. We entered … More Day 24: Yellowstone
The vet gave Tako the thumbs up; his cough is basically a puppy cold. But that means that he’s more susceptible to the kennel cough that’s running rampant in the valleys right now, so the vet gave us some meds to boost his immune system. Since other dogs will be at the Alpine house — … More Day 23: Big Sky, Bozeman & Three Forks
I’m so exhausted that I was going to put off writing today’s post until tomorrow morning. But I have to be up early to head back to Bozeman for a vet appointment…so that would just mean I had two posts to write tomorrow night. So I’m putting on my big girl pants, making a cup … More Day 22: Helena, Butte & Stupid Rocks
I am coming back and camping/boating/climbing/hiking the heck out of this park. Too bad Tako can’t come back with me, but he’s way too cute to be bear bait. Can we take a moment to acknowledge how much effort I put into getting just one semi-passable selfie with Tako? He is so uncooperative! I try … More Day 21 (Part 2): Glacier National Park & Central Montana
This post is so picture-heavy, I need to separate it into two. Sorry, guys. Today was the day! We finally drove through Glacier National Park. That park is indescribably beautiful. The colors are way too vivid for my phone to even capture, and in the morning mist it looked ethereal and just too everything to … More Day 21 (Part 1): Glacier National Park & Central Montana
Amie makes the world’s most decadent morning beverage: hot coffee blended with coconut oil. At first, I was all “Uh, what?” And then she made me one, and I was like, “Uh, yes.” I wasn’t even hungry until about 1:30 p.m. I think she’s on to something here. Max is going to read this and … More Day 20: Mostly Supaman
