Switzerland is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. The breathtaking alps, rolling meadows, warm and kind people…it doesn’t get much better. Ideally, I’d love to visit Switzerland again and stay for weeks! But when the time is limited and the budget is tight, the Golden Pass Rail saves the day.

My mom is an avid plant lover and I am a woman after my mom’s own heart. Growing up, every chance she had my mom would go to the local nursery, often with her kids in tow.  She’s instilled in me a love for gardening and Apenberry’s nursery in Winter Park has helped keep that love alive.

Over the long weekend Eric and I had some time to explore a little more of our hometown. We had heard about the Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour from family, and with no plans and perfect weather we decided to give it a chance. I have to say, it was a lot of fun!

Its a new year, and with it comes the feeling of freshness and new mercies. Eric and I have taken some time over that last couple of days to reflect on some of the blessings God brought us in 2017.

Christmas shopping is in full swing now. With a family of travelers, I’ve grown up seeing anything from hiking socks to first aid kits on Christmas lists. I mean, when others are asking for gift ideas, now is a prime time to start collecting the gear you’ll need for your next adventure!
