“Preserve and Protect”. So thankful that we have the privilege to experience and see beautiful landscapes such as this, but I also want it to be there for years after we’re gone. I was able to teach my niece about Leave No Trace while we hiked about, and I’m so grateful to work with @unitedbyblue- a company who cleans up our oceans and waterways and also has promised to be single use plastic free by 2020. This Preserve and Protect shirt I was gifted is made responsibly and sustainably- and is ridiculously comfy! Definitely check out @unitedbyblue and their awesome products.
C O L O R A D O was beautiful, relaxing, adventurous & full of laughter!
I love this guy so much and I am so happy that we had this chance to get away and spend some quality time together. It’s so easy to get caught up in the every day grind and sometimes you forget what life is really about.
We always have the best time, have the most interesting luck and attract the weirdest things when we’re alone together. But it makes for some seriously good laughs & stories to tell! And after this trip, we agreed to make it our anniversary tradition to get away and explore a new place each year.
What are your anniversary traditions?

**Every moment of travel is not magical**
>>
In the couple of hours that we were awake before this photo was taken, we accidentally set off a can of bear spray, backed into a tree, and then triggered the car alarm in a silent campsite. It was not our best morning.
>>
But we regrouped, pressed on to this hike we’d been looking forward to, and by the time we reached this spot it felt ridiculous to be grumpy when we’re clearly so freaking lucky to be here. And now we have a laugh every time Aaron gets a whiff of lingering bear spray and sneezes.
>>
This is the picture I’m posting of that morning because we didn’t take a photo of our comedy of errors. But even if we don’t take pictures of them, we have frustrating/annoying/disappointing travel experiences too.

Sharing this story as much for myself as anyone else, because I definitely fall into the social media comparison trap at times. Do you ever find yourself comparing your outtakes to everyone else’s highlight reel?

After trying to hike to the bottom of the canyon on our first visit and almost killing ourselves in the process, we thought it would be more fun this time to stay up on the rim and enjoy the extraordinary views.
