Noccalula Falls in Gadsden, Alabama is open to visitors every day and FREE! There’s a trail that leads down to the bottom of the falls and you can find some beautiful river glass there!

This shell still had a critter in it! It’s called a marine snail (mollusk). I got all the way back to the hotel with one and immediately realized it and ran him back to the ocean. Fortunately, I was able to toss this one back in the ocean.

Can you imagine being in cave water over your head and your light going out?

On January 12, 2020, I was in Palm Springs, California, for a School Nutrition Association trip. As part of a training exercise, we were paired with colleagues from all over the country, most of whom we’d never met before. When the session ended, we had a few free hours that afternoon, so I invited the people at my table to join me on a spontaneous road trip to Joshua Tree.

One guy took me up on the offer. We jumped in my rental car and headed an hour east. I drove while he Googled the coolest places to see in the park. Somewhere along the way, he FaceTimed his wife to let her know where he was going and who he was with… you know, just in case I turned out to be a serial killer. 😂

We spent the afternoon racing down trails, taking photos, and squeezing every possible adventure into the little time we had. It felt like we’d known each other for years instead of a few hours.

When we got back, we went our separate ways, and I’ve never seen him again. Still, it remains one of my favorite travel memories.

I’m grateful for strangers who are willing to jump into my rental car and say yes to an adventure. There have been quite a few over the years. 😂

In July 2018, we had the trail to Angel’s Landing in Zion almost entirely to ourselves. For one of the most popular hikes in the country, that seemed a little strange. We only saw two other couples on the way up, but since it was our first visit, we figured we had somehow beaten the crowds.
As we made our way back down that afternoon, we kept saying how incredible it was to have the place practically all to ourselves.
When we finally reached the trailhead, a park ranger was standing there turning visitors away. The trail had been closed after major washouts the night before had damaged sections of the route. We had spent the entire day hiking through what we assumed was just extra rugged terrain. 😂
Turns out, the reason we had Angel’s Landing to ourselves was that nobody was supposed to be there in the first place.
I’m pretty sure we’ll never get an opportunity like that again! 😅🏔️

Torrey Pines beach is my favorite beach in the whole world. The rocks are beautiful, the sandstone cliff is stunning and there are tons of little tidal pools full of life.
That cliff is scary though. I was there one day when a chunk of it fell. That could absolutely be deadly and could fall at any moment.

Who broke my black kid? Doesn’t like to dance…just wants to take mechanical things apart.🤓
