Over the last three and a half years of constant rambling, we’ve managed to accomplish something pretty awesome; we’ve visited and spent at least a night in all of the 48 contiguous lower States that make up the good ole USA! We thought we’d celebrate this momentous occasion by sharing just one photo of each state !
Last week I did something that changed my life, something I have never done in the past. I took a nap… at 6 o’clock in the evening. I was tired and stressed out and just couldn’t stay awake. My husband warned me that it would turn out to be a mistake, that I wouldn’t sleep through the night, that I would wake up and annoy the crap out of him when it became regular bedtime. I don’t say this often, but “Honey, you were right!” I took a two hour nap and it changed my life… and his.
After spending nearly 8 months in Alberta over the course of the last two years, I can definitely say that Lauren and I have absolutely fallen in love. While the city of Calgary itself has a lot to do with it, there’s also something about this area that makes us want to keep coming back. I could sit here and try to write out all the reasons we love Alberta but instead I’ll show you what keeps us coming back and what should make you want to drop what you are doing and come explore Alberta with us.
For many travelers Kalispell, Montana serves as a base camp for enjoying the lovely outdoors. While this is absolutely true, we spent some time visiting Kalispell in the Fall, and found a lovely small town that was rich in both culture and history.
The concept of conservation and protecting Mother Nature is rather slow moving in some parts of the world. Sometimes though, there is someone that is so far ahead of their time, they don’t really even know that they are starting a movement. This holds true when you look at Asa Wright and her Asa Wright Nature Centre on the beautiful twin island nation of Trinidad and Tobago.
