Make Traveling & Adventuring Even More Fun!
We received the best gift for Christmas, and we are just now getting around to opening it and setting it up. It is a Scratch Off Map of both the world and a separate one of just the United States!
Having a map and making it clear where you have been in the world is amazing and fun! It makes you want to visit some place new that you have never been. It could also help plan your next trip, because you know exactly where you have not been!
I think this is a much easier idea than the Photo Frame Map. The scratch off method is easy and convenient, rather than having to find a photo that fits perfectly in the outline of a State. Not to mention, having to make sure we take a photo meant for the frame every time, then going to get it printed and mounting it in the picture frame.
We set our United States map up on a corkboard with cute little push pins, and I clipped a penny to the board for easy access. I made sure that the penny was made in the year that our relationship was established, I thought it made it seem more special. It is quick, easy and fun!
We have not scratched off all the places that we have been yet – I was just too excited to share the photo to wait! We have all of the Western States marked off on the United States map and some on the Eastern Coast. We chose to only scratch off the places we have been to TOGETHER and not on our own. We also made it a rule that we have had to stay there and not just flown in as a connecting flight, or drove through to get to somewhere else.
Keep finding adventure,

My GO-TO Adventuring Shoes
It is no secret that I love a good adventure! Sometimes those adventures require a lot of walking and hiking, which I love to do as well. Ok…I have learned to love as well…
https://www.liketoknow.it/ltk/6GwhN3WwgUNGheFo7yvZlN Above is a photo of me in Yellowstone at sunset, after a long day of walking and seeing the sights. These hiking shoes held up great!
https://www.liketoknow.it/ltk/7KHKM3rZmWTYXozGyokKDV Above is a photo of me at the top of Angel’s Landing in Zion National Park. I am in the same exact hiking boot. These are my GO-TO adventuring shorts as well, I love them and wear them almost everyday. They are great for any occasion!
I must say, these are not my first pair of adventuring shoes. When we backpacked Havasupai (read about that adventure on this blog real soon!) I literally walked the soles off of my shoes. Thank goodness they held up until the end of our trip though! That would have been a disaster trying to hike over 13 miles with no shoes…
Moral of the story, don’t go cheap on hiking boots. They are a very good investment! Even if you only hike once a year, and no matter the difficulty of the hike, having a good pair of shoes can make ALL the difference.
No one wants sore or beat up feet at the end of an adventure. That just ruins the whole experience. I will link the same boot that I am wearing here.
If you do choose these Keens, let me know what adventures you plan on having while wearing them. If you already have your trusty adventuring shoe, leave me a comment below on what brand it is!
Keep Finding Adventure,
Sadie
