This last weekend, we did a quick backpacking trip in Yellowstone National Park around Mallard Lake. The north entrance of Yellowstone is a quick hour and a half drive from Bozeman, making it ideal for a weekend trip! We have the America the Beautiful pass ($80 for one year), which waived our $35 entrance fee, …

Bozeman, MT: Thrift and Vintage Stores
Bozeman has turned out to be a real hotbed for thrifting and vintage finds! Below are my rankings of the thrift and vintage stores I visited, from my favorite to least favorite.

Bozeman, MT: Breweries
Here are my ratings for the breweries in the Bozeman area from my favorite to least favorite! Walking Mountains Brewing – Rating: Worth it! On my third day in town, we popped over to Walking Mountains Brewing to try a few of their beers and grab a bite. We did a flight of four of …
Bozeman, MT: Wildlife
I’ve ended up seeing even more wildlife in the city than I did on my hike (maybe due to the animals being less wary of humans) and there are so many different types of birds and critters unlike what we find in the Seattle area that I thought it was worth a post. Below are …
Bozeman, MT: Hiking Blackmore Peak

In Washington, we generally just have black bears, which you deal with differently in potentially dangerous situations. Hopefully, this is helpful! For this post, I used information from …
Bainbridge Ferry and International District

Hiking Dirty Harry’s Peak
For 4th of July, I went up to Dirty Harry’s Peak in the Cascades with a few friends after it was suggested to be less crowded than some other more popular hikes around the Seattle area. I’d done it a couple months back and forgotten how hard it was. It’s a 9.2 mile round trip …

As some background information, Venice is city in northeastern Italy (think almost Austria) and is built on 118 small islands in the …
An Introduction
Welcome! I have a variety of travels planned over the remainder of this year (and have some trips that I’ve failed to document so far), so I’ve created this site as a place to document my trips (and so family members will stop reminding me that I’ve yet to share photos). Hopefully this will be …
