The last blogpost of our Switzerland series, a full month after we’ve come back. For the labor day “long weekend” we finished off our trip with 4 days at the Marchenhotel in Braunwald. I admit I fully got influenced by all the instagram reels which made me want to book this trip approximately 7 days…

Gimmelwald & Grindelwald
Good morning! As I am writing these posts in quick(ish) succession, there is not much to update about in our lives since the last post, although I did want to take a moment to brag about M! This past weekend he swum over 3 miles across the Hudson River (from Nyack to Sleepy Hollow)…and came…
Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
After much research, we decided to base our home base in the Jungfrau region in Lauterbrunnen. It ended up being the most well connected to all the little villages we wanted to go to, had enough going on in the town center where we were able to eat out or get groceries, and still wasn’t…
2025 Switzerland Trip Overview
Baby C just came back from her first plane trip, and first international trip! It was also our first big trip as a family of 5. Surprisingly, it was the easiest trip we’ve ever taken – maybe our standards have just lowered, and we’re much more lax about compromised sleep schedules. It also helps that…
Yosemite National Park (2024)
The last leg of our California roadtrip (which, by now feels like a lifetime ago) was a few days in Yosemite over July 4th weekend. We rented a Marriott property which was a cabin in the park, which was definitely the right move since the park is huge and would’ve taken an hour to drive…
Pinnacles National Park
We had a wedding ~40 minutes away from Pinnacles, so visited for a day trip to knock out another NP off our list. We got the National Parks Stamps Passport when S was born and have basically done everything on the east coast, so revel in the opportunity to get a stamp at a new…
Whidbey Island & North Cascades
[Continued from Olympic National Park] After our drive from Portland to the Olympics which was a stretch of ~3 hours with literally no interesting sites to stop at, the rest of the trip’s drives didn’t seem so terrible since there was more to do along the way. After we checked out of our cute little…
Olympic National Park
The next portion of our PNW roadtrip was 4 days in the Olympics. We are glad we spent this much time here, as it was enough time to see everything we wanted to in the park, but minimized the amount of driving we did each day! This was a perfectly feasible itinerary to do with…
The Berkshires
While it looks like I’m super delinquent on this post as our most recent weekend away to the Berkshires was in mid-May, I had originally made the conscious decision not to blog about the trip since it was just a weekend away. But today I was reorganizing this blog in advance of posting about our…
Grand Teton National Park
Ok so it’s almost the end of the year, so I will crank out the last of my blog posts from our National Parks roadtrip a few months back…FINALLY. The last few weeks have been a little crazy, as we welcomed a new puppy PANDA into our home!! He’s been pretty angelic and easy to…
