Full Time Parents Part Time Explorers

Exploring new places (and sometimes returning to other various favorite places), taking pictures, collecting post cards, flattened pennies, and memories! Showing our children life without screens. Instilling the love of nature and exploration. And sometimes... We get a chance to sneak away and have some adult free time.
