Road Trip: From Marble Colorado to Fort Worth Texas

June 20, 2017 by Fern LeeLeave a Comment

We decided to take a road trip after our holiday from Marble, Colorado to Fort Worth, Texas to visit some friends. It was going to be long, tiring and dusty. But we were intrigued by a number of magical and odd sights along the way. First stop: Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. GPS tells us it will take 5 hours from Marble climbing over mountains. We ascend slowly up to 10,200 feet and reach the pinnacle of the Rockies on the 10th … [Read more...]

Hiking and Hot Springs in the Rockies

June 6, 2017 by Fern Lee1 Comment

This spring, I was invited to visit rural Marble in Colorado and experience the great American outdoors. Growing up and working in cities all my life, I had never been on a hiking holiday before and Colorado was going to be my introduction to the American outdoors.

Four Seasons in Two Days at Yosemite

May 15, 2017 by Fern Lee3 Comments

And we were told that Spring is an ideal time to visit - with the mighty waterfalls filled to the brim by the melting snow and the abundance of wildlife this time of year. We assumed the days would be filled with sunshine (warm at lower elevations) but cooler at higher elevations with the the tops of the mountains still covered with snow. However we soon discovered that the weather this time of year in … [Read more...]

Far from the Madding Crowd – Our Half Day Jaunt in San Francisco

April 29, 2017 by Fern LeeLeave a Comment

Where do you go with half a day to kill in San Francisco? We decided to eschew some of the more touristy hotspots and headed to Potrero Hills, the Mission District and SoMa to see the real San Francisco. We drove into the city on a Sunday morning when parking is free, arriving at around 10am. At that time in the morning, we were still lucky enough to find parking, although it was filling up fast. Our first stop: 18th Street, Potrero Hills. … [Read more...]
