Join us on a chilly but unforgettable hike through the Grand Escalante National Monument! We took the kids on the Toadstool Trail in Spring 2024, braving the cold temperatures and heavy wind gusts. Despite the harsh conditions, we had a blast exploring the unique rock formations and chasing tumbleweeds across the desert landscape. Watch as we marvel at the towering toadstools and create lasting memories in this breathtaking natural wonder.

Yesterday's family adventure was a slam dunk! We spent the morning exploring the Toadstool Trail in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Those hoodoos were a HUGE hit with the kids - they loved scrambling around the giant "mushrooms" and letting their imaginations run wild. The views of the surrounding desert landscape were pretty amazing too! #ToadstoolTrail #GEScalante #HoodooHunters

After lunch, we headed to Horseshoe Bend for a dose of natural wonders. Wow, that sight is just jaw-dropping! Standing on the rim and gazing down at the Colorado River snaking through the canyon walls was truly breathtaking. The kids were mesmerized by the power and beauty of nature. #HorseshoeBend #NaturalWonders #ArizonaAdventure

All in all, a perfect day of exploring, learning, and making memories together. Southern Utah, you never disappoint! #FamilyFun #GrandAdventure #MakingMemories

El Huerto Farm to Table stole our hearts (and tastebuds!) with the most romantic dinner of our entire Cabo trip. Fresh, organic ingredients, a charming open-air setting, and those whimsical string lights twinkling as the sun dipped below the horizon... pure perfection. Every bite was an explosion of flavor, from the melt-in-your-mouth lamb to the perfectly cooked fish. But the real fairytale moment came after dinner. We strolled hand-in-hand through the farm's illuminated paths, feeling completely enchanted by the starry night sky and the gentle glow reflecting off the crops. ✨ El Huerto, you're a dream come true! #CaboSanLucas #ElHuertoFarmToTable #RomanticDinner #FarmToTable #MagicalEvening #Mexico #travelcouple

Obsessed with our Pacific View King Bed room at @WaldorfAstoriaLosCabos! This little slice of heaven features a private plunge pool on the terrace, perfect for cooling off after soaking up the stunning (though partial) ocean views. The room itself is pure luxury - we love the spacious layout, cozy fireplace, and the spa-worthy bathroom is a dream. Plus, a personal concierge to handle anything we need?

This beautiful church, built in 1730, is a testament to the area's rich history and cultural heritage. 🇲🇽 The architecture is stunning, with its pale brick facade, twin bell towers, and arched entryways. Inside, the ornate details and peaceful atmosphere create a truly special place.

Highly recommend visiting this iconic landmark if you're in San Jose del Cabo! #instatravel #MissionSanJosedelCabo #LosCabosHistory #BajaCaliforniaSur #TravelMexico 🇲🇽

5 miles of adventure, countless boulders conquered

5 miles of adventure, countless boulders conquered, and enough mud to make a pig jealous - that was my epic hike through Sourland Mountain Preserve today!

This wasn't your average stroll in the park. The trail threw everything at us: steep inclines, slippery mud patches, and boulder fields that felt like an obstacle course. But every challenge was met with grit, laughter, and a healthy dose of determination.

Remember that "pinch me, I must be dreaming" momen

Remember that "pinch me, I must be dreaming" moment on our Moorea trip? It has to be our jet ski adventure with @topjetmoorea, where we not only explored crystal-clear lagoons and epic cliffs, but also got to meet some of the ocean's gentlest giants - STINGRAYS!

Gliding through the turquoise waters, the thrill of the jet ski perfectly contrasted with the calmness of hand-feeding these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Their velvety skin and curious eyes left us mesmerized.

Huge thanks to the amazing team, shout-out to Mustache 🤙, at @topjetmoorea for making this experience unforgettable! They were professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the beauty of Moorea in a responsible way.

Would you dare to kiss a stingray? Let us know in the comments!
