Jeffrey and Anna

Friday, June 20, 2025 We woke up at 6:00am, much earlier than originally intended, but it allowed us to leave Venice. We grabbed a couple of croissants and a cappuccino to go on the way, and walked towards our train station. It was so fun to see all the workers entering Venice for the day.…

Thursday, June 19, 2025 Who decided it was a good idea to book an 8am train 15 minutes from our apartment when we had just completed a very tiring 18 hour day? Us. And this train was crucial to our otherwise loose itinerary.  We woke up less than 10 minutes before we needed to leave.…

Cinque Terre & Pisa Wednesday, June 18 *More pictures at the bottom! 🙂 For the past decade, my dream has been to go to Italy and experience the culture, food, and history. At the top of the list was a place I had only seen on calendars and Microsoft screensavers: a hillside with brightly painted…

Coopers Rock State Forest, West Virginia August 17, 2024 Our first time at Coopers Rock, West Virginia! We started by meeting with Jeff’s coworker, Haiden, and his friend, Mark, at the Coopers Rock overlook. It was quite a beautiful overlook. We then followed Haiden to a hidden trail that led us to the cliffs we…

October 11-14, 2024 Friday, October 11, 2024 We left after work on Friday at 4:01 which is definitely our best time yet! I had pre-made some “Subway” sandwiches at home and packed them for the road. We had been in touch with the friends we were meeting, and we really thought we’d be the last…

September 20-23, 2024 Friday, September 20 Over a long weekend in late September, Jeffrey and I had the chance to finally check out New River Gorge National Park! We started our trip by driving to Tygart Lake State Park after work. It was a fairly small state park in Grafton, West Virginia, but it did…

August 30- September 2, 2024 Friday, August 30, 2024 After work, we frantically packed the van. With the two of us, we did it in about an hour and a half. Not too shabby. I also packed a dinner for us to eat once we arrived at our campsite in Ohiopyle. Dinner was a grilled…
