L- Jon and I camp a lot. Obviously, but I mean a lot. In preparing for even a weekend camping trip, food is a major point of planning. The words “camping food” can conjure up images of hot dogs and burgers on the grill, and simple one-pot meals or cold sandwiches. Not always so in …
L- After the December to Remember month-long road trip from Wisconsin to California, it took Jon and I all of a week to get that itchy feet need to travel feeling back. We had been toying with the idea of spending New Years Eve on a beach somewhere or out in the desert, rather than …
J & L- Hey guys, after a year of being together, and sharing so many amazing adventures along the way, we selfishly wanted a way to remember these moments, and at the same time share them with friends, family, and new acquaintances. So here’s our blog – Our Sunny Days. Over time, we’ll post not only …
L- Hello friends, for our second post I thought I’d take a moment to backtrack and share with you the history of Jon and my relationship and the events that subsequently spurred us to start this blog. I can’t think of a better way to do so than to share the card and letter that …

L- One thing I’ve emphasized from the get-go on this blog is that my relationship with adventurous, thrill-seeking Jon has me constantly pushing my boundaries. It seems like every time we head out, we are off to do things that are totally new to me, or toe the line of my comfort zone. Though in … Continue reading »
J- There are places all over the world that inspire us as humans; Machu Picchu, the Pyramids at Giza, maybe the Roman Colosseum. Whether it’s a place you read about, see on TV or hear in a song, timeless places beckon us to visit, and create our own timeless experiences. Places like these usually see … Continue reading »
