Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
(This is from yesterdayyyyyty) I feel like I need to make one thing clear 90% of the reason I’m on this trip is for the food. So with that being said my portion of the blog will be turned more into A food blog. So this morning after my parents left for the day Zoe and […]
Read More Day 3This morning Ellie and I had the mission of eating a chocolate croissant and a crepe. The 2 of us left the hotel around 10. We started walking towards the cafe but then impromptuly decided to go to a closer one that looked just as good and was only 50 steps away. We ordered our […]
Read More Chamonix!I have two goals for this trip. 1. Make all the memories as a family, knowing our big summer trips might be coming to an end before too long. 2. Eat and drink all the local delicacies. Check and check. I almost feel like we could go home now. Late yesterday afternoon we arrived at […]
Read More Day 3: ChamonixWhen planning this trip we had originally intended we would fly in today, then some things happened and we decided it made sense to come earlier. That change meant that we were able to spend today in Chamonix! Backtracking just slightly, we also had a delightful evening here last night. We intended to go out […]

Read More Day somethingWhat a whirlwind the last day (or 3? it’s been hard to track time) has been! We left Chicago late Monday night and I’m writing this from a bus to Chamonix, FR on Wednesday evening. I’m not going to do a play by play, but I will hit the highlights starting with last night’s dinner. […]
Read More Chicago to GenevaWe have commenced THE adventure of our lifetime. In 2017, Zak and I set a goal to hike Tour du Mont Blanc in the summer of 2023. Our thinking was that it would be the last summer before Zoe begins her post high school plans and it would be the perfect graduation gift for both […]
Read More Day 1 and 2: Chicago to GenevaI’d first like to point out that I am doing (at least in my own opinion) quite well at blogging. Take note girls! Saturday was the Dolores River Festival and, just as there were last year, some great bands were in the lineup. When I was here in March I got to see Birds of […]
Read More Dolores River Festival, Sunday, and Wrapping Up ProjectsIt’s been a busy couple days in Mancos. Mostly I’ve been working around the house. The ladders and railings for the bunks are nearly finished. Unfortunately, I failed to take into account how thick the fittings for the pipe I’m building with were so I had to order a few replacement pieces that I have […]
