Our latest adventure took us into Phantom Canyon. We ended up arriving fairly late in the afternoon after a serious of child-related mishaps rendered our efforts for an early departure impossible. If you notice in the photo above the sun is beginning to set here and the shadows are starting to creep over the mountains as it goes down leaving a band of sunshine just across the peaks. When we first arrived I was a little confused where we should park because both sides entering the park land were marked…

We had our second amazing visit of the year to the beautiful Buena Vista, Colorado. Literally translated the name means “good view” and the forefathers of this stunning mountain town definitely named the town right. This time around there wasn’t nearly as much snow so we were excited to hike in some new spots while we were in town.

We had an amazing visit to Eleven Mile State Park! This places is gorgeous and had just the right amount of snow for a wonderful winter drive. We found this abandoned pine branch shelter in the snow that the kids loved checking out. There was even a snow-covered fire ring. Even though there was plenty of snow on the ground it really wasn’t that cold at all. The kids had the time of their lives playing in the snow and checking out this winter wonderland of a forest.

We’ve Moved to Colorado!

January 1, 2020February 10, 2020 BeachBumFamily0 comment

If you’ve been keeping up with us on Instagram then you probably already know that we have relocated from our home base in Charleston, SC to the Rocky Mountains with our new home base now being Colorado Springs, CO. This most definitely wasn’t the original plan, but as you may or may not know our 5 year old son is autistic and nonverbal. After nearly 3.5 years of waitlists for ABA therapy in South Carolina we gave up, did some research, and made an educated decision to move to Colorado.…

Love is found on the beach–or at least so it seems for many in our coastal community here near Charleston, SC. For us, love blossomed on the shores of Folly Beach, with a calendar full of “dates” by the ocean that eventually led to a wedding in that very same spot! For others, maybe on the West Coast or even across the world…there is just something magnetic–even magical–about a beach. We’ve just added a “bumper sticker” section, so I thought I’d share our first one. It comes in white…
