Daily Grind Dropout

I feel like a bear coming out of a long, social media hibernation- except instead of going on an eating spree to fatten up after a long fast I’m doing just the opposite!

Shaking off a year of quasi-hibernation by way of a post-pandemic road trip…In retro.

I left Kansas in February with my new whip in tow (she held up like a champ- thanks !) to head off into the only great unknown allowable during a global crisis- a road trip to visit mother nature’s finest.

8 states and many adventures later, I have returned home and will be sharing a photo dump of the captures I was too busy exploring to post in real-time.

Courtesies of Covid, my job moved from office to 100% home based and I was fortunate to have a friend that has also been remote with her job. We took advantage of our newfound ability to be one with the wind- and spent 3 months road tripping around the Wild West.

We booked AirBnB’s between our long weekends off and explored some of the most beautiful outdoor havens I’ve ever seen- no better way to say bye-bye to annual winter depression and hellooooo to summer!

I could really get used to this whole snowbird thing- first stop: Colorado!
 

Kansas Winter Blues are in full swing and man is the struggle real!

Lots of people stuck inside this weekend to avoid driving in bad road conditions! A little stir crazy but doing my best to take a cue from Lucy here and find my happy in the simple things.

Everything except sticking my head out the window- it's too damn cold for that 😳

"Don't compare your behind the scenes to others' highlight reel"

Speaking of highlight reel, how gorgeous was this view?! Best of all, it was in Australia of all places. I wonder if the above quote rings as true when it's my current couch-sitting-behind-the-scenes making me jealous of my own adventure highlights? 🤔

This ski trip I went on with via at was such an epic weekend, really hoping to squeeze in another ski trip soon!

Although my shattered that took a tumble down the mountain with me may not have the same sentiment...Hence the lack of photos I have from the actual skiing parts of the trip 😂

Kansas City plaza lights!

I know I spend a lot of time away, but KC really is a pretty place.

Did you know: The plaza architecture and design was inspired by Seville, Spain?

A friend of mine recently traveled to Seville and told me that she saw Kansas City souvenirs...All the way over in Spain.

Pretty cool huh?
