Happy birthday J!!!


First of all, happy birthday to my old man!! 

For the many, many years, he would tell people he was 22 when they asked his age. Lately, he's been saying 31. Getting closer to his real age, but still in denial! J shares his bday with a number of our friends and friend's kids … popular time of year since people are getting busy in the cold, dark winter and around Valentine's Day! 

We are making our way to the last stop of our tour—DENVER! This is also where we will meet and present alongside Phil Keoghan from the Amazing Race. I still can't believe this and won't until he is standing in front of my face. 

We've done a ton of driving in the past week and through some beautiful territory in California, but also through some snow, ice and crazy winds in Wyoming! We had to rethink where and what month it was, but clear that we are in fall approaching winter. 

Just as our tour is wrapping up, so is our hiking season. We may be able to get a few more hikes in while in Colorado, but here are the shots from our recent hiking excursions.

First in Nevada (with our awesome BP contributor as a guide). 






Then in California inside and outside of Yosemite National Park.





Until we encountered this ... we had no idea this was going on in our country!
