Art, culture, travel and adventure in Northern Colorado.
I have a blogging philosophy that goes a little something like this: get sh*t up quickly, because the next thing is already barreling down the pike. In service of that philosophy, I take all of my photos on my iPhone. It’s a decent camera. I do very little editing, because editing is not getting sh*t […]

I promise, it was not my intention to visit three different art museums over our three days in Wyoming/Montana. Tippet Rise was always our main destination (read that post here), but the Brinton Museum (post here) was a spur-of-the-moment stop. Then, during our Tippet Rise sculpture tour, our fellow tourists all but insisted that we […]

This is a love story. If you know me, that means the story probably revolves around Dan or art. In this case, it’s both. The adventure began with a TED Talk about an architecture studio that revels in using and showcasing “raw, imperfect materials.” I was already charmed by the ideas in the video when […]

On the road again, this time en route to Montana! This adventure involves both Dan and my mountain bikes — but more on that complicated adventure tomorrow. Before we could get to Montana, we had a lot of Wyoming to cover. We passed through Cheyenne and Casper before finding ourselves in the Sheridan/Bighorn area. We […]

In the words of John Oliver, “Just time for a quick recap of the week.” The day after Dan and I left Vail we turned on our heels and headed to Cincinnati for a half-business-half-pleasure visit. The two of us did not stop moving for three days! Below are a few highlights of our whirlwind […]

A friend texted me to ask how my trip to Vail was. I sent her the picture above and said you’d have to ask Dan — Vail was mostly a working trip for me, with an extremely fun concert and a goat yoga session thrown in. For the real fun, you’d want to look at […]

When Dan and I first visited Vail in June, I posted pictures (shocker!). My friend Isaac, who works for the New York Philharmonic, commented to tell me that the orchestra would be performing in Vail in July as part of the town’s Bravo! Vail programming. That was all I needed to hear. Dan and I […]

I know this doesn’t look like a Cincinnati weekend… but in a way, it was. Our friend Danny hails from Cincinnati; he moved out to Boulder a few weeks after Dan and I moved to Fort Collins. Danny and his partner Russ (born in Dayton, Ohio) invited us to stay in a cabin they were […]

I know a lot of people who don’t care for road trips, but Dan and I prefer to drive anywhere we can. Trust me, we are not immune to the exhaustion that comes from long hours on the road — in fact, as I sit here writing this, half an hour after this very road […]

I had no idea Vail was so cute! Though I love to travel, I am no great lover of ski towns. I usually find them to be crowded, overly manicured and often terribly dull if you’re not a skiier (as I am not). It has been much more fun visiting the resorts in the summer, […]
