Continuing our travel wish list theme for 2016, I’m sharing posts from 5 travel bloggers this week. First up, Canyonlands National Park. I’ve had a long time craving to go see each of Utah’s National Parks, also dubbed “The Mighty 5.” I’ve asked local travel blogger, Jennifer Melroy who writes at Made All the Difference to […]

The Quinault Rain Forest
When I sit down to share with you our travels, I generally have a good sense of what I will write about.
