This past weekend we took a little road trip to Boulder. It’s only about a 40-minute drive, but there is always something fun to do there. This time, we explored some of the fun kid-friendly and FREE things to do in Boulder. Because who doesn’t love free? Even if you don’t have kids, many of…
While we are coming close to the end of our run here in Colorado, we still haven’t stopped exploring. We don’t know when or if we will be back in Colorado again, so we made sure to head down to visit the Manitou Cliff Dwellings in Manitou Springs, located between Colorado Springs and Pueblo One…
This summer marks our fifth year in Denver. On one hand, it’s hard to believe that it’s been that long, and on the other, it seems we’ve been here for much longer. Even harder to believe is that we haven’t been to Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park in all of that time! If you…
Back in April, my family took a quick little road trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. Even though it was off-season, we had a great time. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see as much of the area as we would have liked since many of the attractions were closed, but now that it’s…
Ever since we moved to Colorado almost five years ago, we have talked about taking a road trip to Mount Rushmore. We are less than six hours away so there really isn’t much of an excuse not to. Life always seemed to get in the way so we decided to throw caution to the wind and…
This past summer we extended my grandmother’s 90th birthday celebration in Florida into a two-week vacation for my family. Before meeting up with the extended family on the Gulf Coast, one of the stops on our trip was to Universal Studios Orlando. I have been dreaming of visiting Universal Studios for many years now and…
If you’re in Colorado and are looking for a fun place to take the kids, check out Tiny Town and Railroad in Morrison. Located off Route 285, it is an easy drive from Denver (North and South), Lakewood, and Golden. We have driven past it several times, and this time, we finally decided to stop in…

Summer vacation is in full swing for all of us now. How are you holding up? We’ve been out of school for a month already and the natives are getting restless. Thankfully we have a lot of things to do in Colorado with kids, which is going to be a life saver for us for…
If you’ve ever been to Disney then you know you’re going to drop some cash. Unless you know someone, or get really lucky with some fantastic coupon deals, you aren’t going to go to Disney for just a few hundred bucks. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Vacation budgets vary, but I think…

Thank you to Cottonelle for sponsoring today’s discussion. I have seen lots of tips on trips to the beach or an amusement park but haven’t seen any yet on trips to the mountains. Since we moved to Colorado just about two years ago we have enjoyed many trips exploring the mountains and there are some…

I have been a bit ambiguous about my actual age on the blog because I have been living in denial about how fast I was approaching forty. I don’t know how it happened, but now it’s officially here. It seems like just yesterday I was celebrating my 21st birthday. It’s amazing to me how slow…
