3rd half marathon is in the books yaβll! Barely.π After a 3 hour delay leaving San Diego yesterday, I missed my connecting flight and had to drive 3.5 hours from Charlotte to Hilton head. At 10pm. On 3 hours of sleep. But I made it, and thatβs all that counts! No way I was missing out on running my broβs first half and seeing the cutest little supporter that ever existed. βΊοΈ
So grateful to make memories like this and a special shoutout to my body for pulling through even when I deprive it of sleep and feed it pretzels and sour patch kids for dinner. I think it deserves better. π
These photos sum up our race experience pretty well. They started to get hilariously unhinged somewhere around mile 7. Literally ran on caffeine and fumes but a few well-timed energy gels and a solid playlist had us finishing in the top 50! Overall, a total success. ππΌ
Thanks for a great race!
Happy Sunday yaβll! How was your weekend??
From mountaintop overlooks to scenic drives and rushing waterfalls, these are some of my favorite places and trails to visit when the leaves start to turn!
π Save to plan your fall adventures & share with a fall-loving friend!
Fall is the perfect time to get outside, chase some color, and explore the small towns that make this state so special. Every hike, every road trip, every local stop helps keep these places thriving. πΏ Outdoor recreation in Virginia fuels billions in tourism revenue, supports small businesses, and creates thousands of jobs across the state. When you explore responsibly, youβre helping both nature and the communities that rely on it.
Letβs all help conserve Virginiaβs special placesβ¦the ones that make us fall in love with this state over and over again. β€οΈ

I flew back east a few weeks ago for a fam trip to New England & road tripped half the East Coast just to catch fall colors in my favorite place! In a few days, I drove from Maine all the way down to WNC and Iβd do it again in a heartbeat. Nothing will ever compare to fall in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Something about it just hits different, and I canβt quite put into words why. Trust me, Iβve tried (and failed) many times.
This place has such a hold on my heart. It brings me so much joy and an overwhelming amount of peace. Itβs a lightness I just donβt feel anywhere else. Like my soul knows itβs home.
Anyway, Iβm so grateful to have experienced these beautiful moments, even if they were fleeting. β€οΈπ
Anyone else know what I mean??
π·:
My heart is so happy after some much needed time in the mountains. There was barely a soul on the trail & I unexpectedly found fall!
Did you know SD had this much variety?
From Maine to Cali- fall views, family time, beach days, sunset runs, Padres games, farmers markets, gym seshβs and a whole lot of chaos in between.
Iβm sleep deprived, my stomach hurts, and I wouldnβt change a thing. π
And if youβre wondering whether I ever sit stillβ¦ absolutely not. My heart might be on both coasts, but Iβm not mad about it (though my cat definitely is).
Now, I mustache you a question- which photo is your favorite? ππ₯Έ
Reminiscing about this amazing trip to Washington State, exploring Mount Rainier and North Cascades National Parks, has me realizing Iβm overdue for a solid hiking trip. π¬
Maybe itβs the changing of the seasons, but Iβve been reflecting a lot on how much Iβve changed too.
For the longest time, I thought there was something wrong with me (well, there are a lot of things, Iβm sure π), but I thought feeling pulled in a hundred different directions meant I was unsettled or always searching for something Iβd never find. Iβve been told Iβm running from something (maybe a little true), or that Iβm βtoo muchβ or βinauthenticβ because I can be so many different things all at once.
But Iβve recently realized thatβs just who I am. Iβm not running away from life. Iβm running toward it. Toward everything that makes me feel alive. Thereβs so much to do and see and experience and so little time to do it.
Some people find home in one place. I think mineβs scattered across every version of myself Iβve met along the way. In every place thatβs made a mark, in every person Iβve connected with or care deeply about. Honestly, I donβt really belong anywhereβ¦because I belong everywhere.
And Iβve finally stopped trying to fix that. Iβm learning to embrace it, and itβs been one of the most liberating things Iβve ever done. β€οΈ
Iβm curious if yaβll have ever felt something similar?
[π Save to plan your trip to #AlmostHeaven!]
At nearly 5,000 feet, the colors hit early and hang around longer, painting the Allegheny Highlands in the prettiest mix of reds and golds.
Itβs the largest winter resort in the Southeast, but this time of year it turns into a playground for hiking, mountain biking, and paddlingβ¦ or just taking in the views with a coffee in hand. This was my first time visiting, and I loved the fall scenery, cozy vibes combination. I will never get over how vibrant the foliage in West Virginia is!
The Village has everything you need to turn a quick trip into a full-on getaway cozy logdes, cute shops, good food, and sunset walks that made me wonder why the heck it took me so long to visit.
If youβve been waiting for a sign to plan a fall trip to West Virginia, this is it!! ππ
ππΌWho are you bringing on a cozy fall trip to snowshoe Mountain resort?
With epic views, chaotic moments, and one massive pinecone, our RV trip to Tahoe was so movie-worthy, we decided to share with you via this cinematic masterpiece. Youβre welcome. π
The fame will be tough to get used to, but weβll manage! π
Even with the chaos, I wouldnβt have explored Tahoe any other way. It was the trip of a lifetime, and RV travel life gave us the freedom to make it all up as we went. We could park by the trailhead, make breakfast before an early hike, and chase lake views without checking in/out of a hotel.
RVing travel made everything more flexible, more fun, and way more memorable!
Thinking of planning your own RV trip? has everything you need to get started - even if youβre totally new to RVing.
πSave this for later and send it to your road trip person.
ππΌNow, the real question. Which part of our epic low budget film resonated most? The cinematic montage or the blooper reel?
If so, you should totally check out these βStrangerβ hikes in Virginia. Theyβre perfect for a Halloween adventure!
ππΌWhich one would you try first!?

Pair those with some craft breweries or wineries that VA is known for, and youβre in heaven. You could easily spend a weekend (or even a week) at so many places throughout the state. Iβve put together 10 of my favorite VA road trip spots to give you some inspo for a late summer/fall trip!
