We’re soaking up the last handful of days before @jacobdoyle02 heads off to college and this unbelievable dreamy August weather. Can someone just freeze today please and keep things as they are for awhile longer (but with a better president & #justiceforbreonna )? Thank you very much 🙏🏻 . And actually be careful what you wish for, right? I want Jacob to be able to go to college and have a great experience. So universe, if you are listening, just freezing the weather like today’s would be fine *if* you can give these college kids a great as can be on campus school year. My heart sometimes get ahead of logic. . . #blueskiesandsunshine #parkpicnic #grownandflown #collegebound #parkday #terrierlove

I’ve decided to add “spend a few nights / days on a sailboat” to my live list. Ever since reading the book Love With a Chance of Drowning a few years ago I’ve been so intrigued and fascinated by sailboats. I really think a little sailing adventure sounds like fun. Actually I’m upping the ante and I’m going to add “in Santorini, Greece”. Dream big! . Have you spent the night on a sailboat before? Is it worth it? . . #sailboats #coloradoskies #visitcolorado #lakelifeisthebestlife #sailaway #livelist #bucketlistideas

A couple months ago we received an issue of @kansa

A couple months ago we received an issue of @kansascitymagazine that listed 16 fun Day Trips to check out. We don’t explore the Midwest nearly enough so have decided to try all 16. We started off today with a trip to Weston, MO to take a hike on the Westridge Trail. Westridge trail is within West Bend State Park and gives you cliff side views of the lovely (ugh 🤨) Missouri River. It was a nice, mostly shaded way to spend a couple hours today! We can’t wait to try out the next recommendation! . . #midwestblogger #midwestliving #hikingtrails #missouriadventure #daytrips #kansascitymagazine #westonmo
