Taking a Historic Grand Canyon Railway Tour

Posted on by Posted in Arizona, Flagstaff, Nature and Wildlife, Sedona, USA 13 Comments

Seeing the Grand Canyon was something that was on my travel bucket list for the majority of my life until I finally had the chance to see it back in 2012. Unlike a lot of other landmarks and destinations though I find the Grand Canyon is one of those sites that you can return to and always have a different experience. When we were given the chance to take a Grand Canyon Railway Tour the last time we were in Sedona, AZ , Lauren and I hopped at the chance. I mean come on how often do you get to see the Grand Canyon and ride a train in the same day??

Learning to Snowboard at Nakiska Mountain Resort in Kananaskis

Posted on by Posted in Alberta, Banff, Calgary, Canada 6 Comments

Growing up and living in Florida most of my life gave winter sports this tremendous air of thrill and mystery. Heck, Lauren and I didn’t even see snow for the first time ’til we were in our 20’s. Anytime I ever saw anyone on a snowboard swooping down hill, or hitting a half pipe I felt this incredible urge to jump on plane, find some fresh powder (I didn’t even know what that really meant), and shred!  Now that we’re spending the winter in Canada taking in winter sports like snowshoeing and bobsledding,  we decided it was time to learn how to snowboard. After all it’s item #22 on our  bucket list. We took a trek out to the Nakiska Mountain Resort, which is Calgary’s closest mountain, and gave it our best.
