25 Things About Me: 2024 Edition

-

It's been a good 10 years since I first posted this 25 Things About Me post. A lot has changed for me since this past post, so I figured now is a good time to update that post. 

You may have seen, this blog has been a bit quiet over the past few years. There is a really fun reason for this. A few years ago, we began the immigration process of moving to the United States for work. After a few years in the Green Card process, we finally received our Green Cards. Yay. 

With that happening, I am finally able to relaunch my blog, and my social media business.  

Here is my updated version of 25 things about me, road trip edition. 

1. I have road tripped through 49 American states, in a car
2. I have road tripped through all 10 Canadian provinces, and 2 of the 3 Northern Territories.
3. I once barfed in the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Alaska while pregnant road tripping
4. My new found road trip goal is to visit all the National Parks
5. I have never been to Hawaii
6. My favorite Province, beside my home of British Columbia, is Newfoundland
7. I saw Icebergs in Newfoundland, and it was amazing

10. I got married in Las Vegas
11. I still have a huge fear of tornadoes, and have had to shelter from several while in Texas
12. I finally got to road trip in an RV, with a bed, toilet and shower. Amazing!
13. I am trying to get my husband to buy an RV
14. I've learned that I love being a passenger princess while road tripping, and I'm ok with that
15. I've been to Thailand for my honeymoon
16. I live in the South now
17. Cabo San Lucas is one of my favorite vacation destinations
18. I have been on a cruise to Mexico, this was so fun.

Four Corners Monument: The only place in America where 4 states meet

-

  This is a really interesting area of America. It’s the only place where you can find 4 states that meet. There are several states where you can find 3 states that meet, but this is the only place in America where you can find 4 states – those being Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. Being from Canada, but also an avid road tripper, the first time I learned of this area, it was really fascinating, and we had to check it out. The drive up to 4 Corners Monument is spectacular, and worth a visit, but there isn’t a lot to do in this area once you get there, so it’s definitely an add on stop for an already existing road trip.   Getting to 4 Corners Monument While this area connects 4 states together, there are only 2 states that lead to this monument. You can access 4 Corners Monument from either Colorado vis Highway 160 heading SW, or from Arizona, along highway 160, heading North. Either way, there are some small towns along the drive, with long stretches of empty land....

Exploring the Grand Canyon during Winter

The Grand Canyon National Park is an amazing road trip destination that remains high on many peoples bucket list. It’s a must-see destination at least once in your lifetime. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon looking down into the canyon itself is breathtaking. It’s like nothing I have ever seen before. However, this spectacular destination can get quite busy during the summer months, with busloads of tourists, large RVs and tons of traffic. This is a great reason to visit the Grand Canyon during the Winter months. Myself personally, I prefer to road trip during the Fall and Winter months. There is less traffic on the roads, and definitely less tourists at these popular destinations.    Fun fact: did you know the Grand Canyon gets snow during the Winter months? I always just assumed the Grand Canyon was part of the Arizona desert, and was hot most of the year, but that’s not the case. Our first trip to the Grand Canyon was in early March a few years back, and there wa...

Las Vegas Road Trip Ideas other than the famous strip

I’ve been to Las Vegas several times, and each time we go, the city changes with new features and attractions. It’s an exciting place to be, but did you know there are some amazing attractions and national parks around the Las Vegas area (that won’t cost you an arm and a leg to visit), all within a short drive from the Las Vegas strip, and all worth checking out. Before we get into our list, one of the most amazing experiences for me when traveling to Las Vegas was actually driving there, rather than flying. Nothing can really compare to the experience of driving, not only down the Las Vegas strip itself, but also the roads leading into Las Vegas. Their visitor center offers some amazing desert & canyon views, and as our 1 st stop suggests, the Hoover Dam area led us to a stunning and unexpected view of Lake Mead.  Here is a list of top places you should definitely visit outside of Las Vegas: 1. Hoover Dam This is a really interesting area. The first time we drove through h...
