Breckenridge

Breckenridge is a super cute ski town. The easiest slopes are on Peaks 8 and 9. The green slopes were easier than most greens I have been on, so we felt comfortable trying the blue slopes here.

Monticello (Charlottesville)

I can’t emphasize enough - Monticello was spectacular. It is the only private U.S. home on the UNESCO World Heritage List as it displays an immense amount of creativity and genius, all by our third President. Through the Highlights Tour, we learned all about Thomas Jefferson’s life (currently $40/person). We also watched a reenactor of TJ in the theater at the Visitor’s Center. We felt through all of this as though we knew Thomas Jefferson - it was all very well-done.

I have been told that Red Truck Rural Bakery is a must-see when driving through Virginia in the small town of Warrenton. Unfortunately it was closed when we were there, so be sure to call ahead!

Dolly Sods Wilderness

We learned after this adventure that a sod is a meadow on top of a mountain, and this means be prepared for mud... The Dahle family resided here in the 1800s and had their sheep graze on this land... Hence, the name Dolly Sods :)

The Florida Keys

The Florida Keys are made up of a bunch of islands with a 110-mile highway connecting them so we can enjoy it's beauty with ease. In the past, the islands were relatively isolated until the completion of the railroad from Miami to Key West in January 1912. This was headed by Henry Flagler and forever changed the Keys. In 1935, the railroad was demolished by a hurricane and was not rebuilt. Luckily for us travelers the government started to build Route 1 that year, which was completed in 1938.

Hollywood Sign

Taking a hike to the Hollywood Sign was quite possibly the hardest hike I’ve ever done - it takes you straight up to behind the Hollywood Sign. This was a dream of mine since seeing people go behind the sign on TV when I was a kid. To get to the trail, you have to go up into a neighborhood and once you get to the dirt path, just keep going up!

Wheel of Fortune

One of my friends watches the Wheel game show every night and wanted to audition. She asked me to go with her so I went to give her my support. The open auditions were at the MD state fairground in Timonium, MD. We were in a huge outdoor building that is used for the Festival of Trees during holiday season, and for animal shows at the state fair in the summer.

My aunt and I drove through this town on my cross country road trip. On this leg of the trip we went from Zion National Park in Utah to Reno, Nevada. We had a random stop in Fallon, Nevada as we needed some coffee to keep us up through the long drive. We happened on a cute coffee shop called Stone Cabin Coffee that is well worth a post.

Zion National Park

Zion National Park in southwestern Utah has become one of my favorite National Parks in the U.S. In the Park, the main road from east to west goes through a 1.1 mile solid sandstone tunnel that opens up to the most magnificent scene, which is one of my top breath-taking moments. Don’t forget to stop and take pictures! Also, one of the best hikes I have ever done is on Angels’ Landing which is also in this incredible park. I visited here for my first cross-country road trip, and I also explored it multiple times while living in Salt Lake City for three months!

On my cross-country road trip, my aunt and I wanted to see the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park. When planning for it, my friend Ellen told us we HAD to go to Page after seeing the Grand Canyon on our route, and we HAD to see Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. I had never heard of these places, but since visiting, I know I’ve seen these pictures before. This area was a highlight of our trip.

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon was designated as a National Park in 1919. The Colorado River carves out this spectacular geological gorge; from top to bottom, it is about one mile high! You can hike to the bottom in about one to two days. At the bottom is a town that even has a Post Office! There are many things to do at the Grand Canyon; you can even ride a mule to the bottom, or do white water rafting along the Colorado River.

"There is something special in Sedona, Arizona," according to my uncle. He experienced a vortex* at the Chapel of the Holy Cross. My first "ohm" picture is where his happened. Although, I think we can all say that Sedona is special; the pictures don't do it justice. I visited Sedona on my cross-country road trip; this leg of the trip was with my aunt, whom I call “Auntie.”

Tombstone

Tombstone is a classic old western town best known for the gunfight at O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881. The movie, Tombstone, depicts the events surrounding this famous gunfight, with legends Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. My cousin and I visited here for a part of my cross-country road trip. This leg of the tour was from Dallas to Phoenix. Tombstone has lots of charm and things to do. I recommend spending one full day here.
