'What draws us into the desert is the search for something intimate in the remote.'-Edward Abbey While Jackson Hole was fun, I was over the cold. When planning the trip, I know I was going to go north one way and south another. The other took me straight through one of my most favorite places, … Continue reading The Great Summer Road Trip: Moab, Utah (2024)

Adventures in Glacier: Glacier National Park

September 21, 2022 / Kelly / 4 Comments

'It seems to me Montana is a great splash of grandeur. The scale is huge but not overpowering.

@caprockcanyonsstatepark is one of my favorite places in Texas! A few hours northeast of @discoverodessa, it is worth the drive. All about my hikes and close encounters with wildlife on the blog now! So excited to see @thechicks next week on their 20th Anniversary Tour for Taking the Long Way Tour. One of my all time favorite albums and Long Way Around is my personal anthem. I’m beyond stoked to hear Favorite Year (fav song on the album) for the first time live! Exploring state parks are my favorite because I can bring my favorite, Gus, and he can rock his hiking pack! I’m recognize my incredible privilege to have traveled so much, aided by the fact I wasn’t born in the US and lived in Saudi Arabia until I was 4.5. Still plenty of places to explore far and much closer to home! I have always wanted to go to Istanbul and decided to finally go last summer. It’s still a pinch me trip. For someone who doesn’t know much about birds, I sure love taking photos of them! It’s drizzling tonight in Odessa and reminds me of another drizzling night in Liverpool.  I still cannot believe I heard The Great War, my fav song off Midnights (and You’re losing me). I saw an ad from @popsockets that you could design your own and the way I ran. It was really hard to pick a photo but decided on a black and white that shows off Gus’ smile! It’s so cute, arrived quickly, and, although he tried to eat it, Gus approved! Spent the afternoon with @juniorleagueofodessa to celebrate and raise money for @harmonyhomecac at their annual Bingo and Bubbles event. It was a so much fun but the highlight was an incredible teenager, who spoke to us about her sexual assault, the courage to report it, and the role Harmony Home has played in her recovery. Just hours before joining us, she spoke out in court and watched the man who assaulted her plead guilty. This is what true bravery looks like.
