The Barth side decided to do another full family vacation and this time settled on Akumal, Mexico! This time around there was 20 of us and we got to stay in a gorgeous property right on the ocean.  We spent most days playing in the pool with the kids and occasionally a few people would […]

I’ve been to the Grand Canyon before but never in the national park itself. The last time I visited the area it was on a backpacking trip with Brady to Supai. I thought it would be nice to explore the park itself so when Brady planned a trip to visit his family in Arizona I […]

PART ONE It’s no secret I love Montana and take many trips there. Some of my favorites places being Bozeman, Bridger, Beartooth, Whitefish, and Glacier. Our favorite place to ski is by far Bridger Bowl as it’s an awesome mountain but it’s a little more quiet and not as crowded as some of the other […]
