COLORADO

One of my favorite States to visit!

The first time I visited Breckeridge was on a choir trip in high school. I already had a love for Colorado from when I was young, but this little town was amazing. Such a quaint town. The hotel we stayed in had themed rooms and the skating rink was a...

Breckenridge, CO | Home

Cute little town just outside of Colorado Springs! Fun to see the old arcade and shops. Also stopped to take an old west photo!

Visit Manitou Springs, Colorado in the Pikes Peak Region

OKLAHOMA

“Where the wind comes sweeping down the plains”…And the weather is bipolar.

If the photos don't already speak for themselves… You'll have to check out the website to learn all about this free 64 acre park in Tulsa, OK. A great place to go as a family or to just sit in nature on your own!

Gathering Place | A Park For All

One of Route 66's stops in Oklahoma! Fun photo op pit stop!

Blue Whale of Catoosa

Great place to see wildlife up close! So neat to be able to drive through! We had fun trying to find all the animals as we went through. Had a very temperamental Emu to guide us out.

Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve

Southern NEW MEXICO

The Land of Enchantment, so many hidden treasures.

One of the hidden gems in the State of New Mexico. Makes for a great day trip or even photoshoots! Worth the detour if traveling through southern NM.

White Sands - National Park Service

Ruidoso is a great little town for a getaway! Rent a cabin, go skiing, or even just on a hike! You're bound to see wildlife most places you go around town. The views are great and it's nice just to take a breath in the natural surroundings.

I always try to make a stop here when traveling through! They've got the best chocolate covered pistachios.

PistachioLand: Pistachio Tree Ranch & Arena Blanca Winery

This is a great event to plan a family trip to! It's so cool! The night glow was always my favorite part as a kid!

Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

Wanting to explore some caves? These natural caverns in New Mexico could be the perfect place to start!

Carlsbad Caverns National Park

North Carolina

You can get the best of all worlds here. Ocean, farm land, mountains and more.

I have only been to the area once as an adult, but my Dad grew up there. I will say fall is an absolute beautiful time of year to go visit and see the mountains or beaches!

Random places around the US I enjoyed!

I have been here few times while visiting family in florida. There are a few great restaurants to go right along the water. one is a seafood joint ( I can't recall the name) and is delicious. It's fun to be able to look out and see the Cruise ships g...

Cape Canaveral

I think this gets underrated sometimes in comparison to Disney world and Universal Studios (next door) But I have always enjoyed Islands of Adventure a lot more! I personally feel like there is more going on there.

Universal Islands of Adventure

This place is an absolute gem! I remember most of my classmates were bummed we were not going to six flags like we had always done, but it was probably my favorite theme park to visit during all the years we went on competitions!

Knott's Berry Farm

I have to say, I was blown away by the size and content of this single location! We only got to maybe about half in one day! and so much more that just animals, they have a whole butterfly area and even a ton of geodes found all over the world. I am ...

Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

Six Flags

Trips that included six flags were always great! Rollercoasters are such an adrenaline rush!

Six Flags Over Texas

I have some really good memories of going here as a kid while visiting family in Denver, Co. I think I went on a ride here before even a county fair!

Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park

I think a number of the rides here may have changed since I last went to this location In high school, but a great add to the list!

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

I have been to this location twice. Both times were for a high school choir competition trip. great times to remember! Lots of things to do even for those who aren't big on huge rides.
