TRAVEL

Fathers day is coming up this weekend so on my own search for the perfect Fathers Day gift, I rounded up some of the best ideas I found and made this list of the top 10 fathers day gifts for dads who love to travel or just love the outdoors!

One day Jackson and I were talking about taking a long weekend somewhere cooler that actually felt like fall and the next, we booked tickets to Chicago! A cold front hit the day we landed and we were completely unprepared. Our first stop after getting into the city was Ross to find a coat for Eliot (and me!).

Last year, my best friend and I happened to be pregnant at the same time. It was honestly the best, sharing in that season! We knew we had to convince the guys to let us do a double babymoon and we all agreed on Santa Fe! We had the best time. Santa Fe is a great babymoon destination because there’s honestly not a ton to do. No pressure to see tons of sites but instead, tons of great food and cultural options to make for a relaxing babymoon.

For years, my family had talked about going to Colorado for Christmas. Every other year we do Christmas with my grandparents, aunt and uncle and cousins. This year everyone finally agreed was the year to do it, so we found an airbnb and had one of the best Christmas’s ever!

A couple weeks ago, we felt the travel bug and decided somewhat last minute to take a family vacation to Ruidoso! I have a more in depth blog post all about our trip (and how Covid affected it) here!

If you’re looking for some tips on a trip to Ruidoso, I’ve given you all of our favorite places to Eat, Hike and Play!

One of our favorite things to do in new cities is check out local coffee shops! After years of swearing off coffee, I was finally successful in getting Jackson to become a coffee lover while we lived in Frankfurt. He’s now 10x the coffee snob that I am and our kitchen is full of craft coffee tools and pour overs and single-origin beans and other things that I only kind of understand. Denver has some of our favorite coffee shops and after trying out plenty, here are 5 of our go-to Denver coffee shops!
