    Discovering The Beautiful Wonders of Washington State

    June 9, 2024 - By Morgan

    Updated April 2026 Day 1: Mount Vernon On Saturday, the day began with some much needed coffee to prepare for 5 hours of driving.

    Stunning Views of Central Oregon: Helicopter Tour Edition

    April 21, 2024 - By Morgan

    Updated April 2026 Originally, the plan was to jump into a four passenger helicopter and tour around Central Oregon mid-February.

Registering for a 45 minute helicopter tour was easy and straight forward. Releases must be signed prior to the flight but this can be done online, they send an email out to all individuals indicated in the registration prior to the trip. Up, Up, and Away! After meeting our pilot and getting a run down on…

One region of the United States I had yet to explore was New England. I finally had the chance to fly out there the Summer of 2022. I spent about a week there and was thankful enough that a friend of mine sent me a spreadsheet (gotta love them) of recommendations of places to visit and sites to see. Considering I had never been to that region of the US,…
