Our first vacation together was to Napa Valley while were dating back in 2013. Then we got married in Napa in 2014. And the rest is history I guess! This is a very special place to us that has many memories tied to it🍷🍇 

Looking forward to see what the next 10 years has in store! Love doing life with you @alexgrivna 🥰😘

Texas to Colorado Road Trip

The Ultimate Road Trip - Houston to New Mexico to Colorado

Looking to escape the Texas heat this summer? If you’re looking to take a road trip from Texas to Colorado with a few stops in between, this is the perfect guide for you. We left Houston on a Friday morning and spent the next 9 days on the road. We stopped in several new cities and new states, and it was really interesting to see some new sights.

It was a LOT of driving, but it was worth it. It was nice to have a change of scenery, and I loved the cooler weather in Colorado. We were able to dine at several amazing restaurants and go on some challenging hikes.

Take a look through this post if you’re looking to do a similar trip in the near future. I included all of the details including where we stayed each night, where we ate and what we did. There’s a lot of information in this guide, so it should give you a good starting point when planning a trip of your own. Cheers!
