My Do-Over Bucket List

I have traveled to many places. I have done amazing things. But for a few of these feats, I want to do them again, with my husband at my side.

I am a few months shy of 28. By my 25th birthday, I had traveled more than most people do in a lifetime. My first year out of Furman, I worked as a live-in au pair for a half-French, half-Irish family in Le Vésinet, the wealthiest suburb of Paris. I proceeded to fall in love… [Read More]

Glenwood Springs Travels: Romance and Relaxation

I can’t believe Dan and I have already been home a month since our vacation to Colorado and Utah. We managed to do so much in just a week, road-tripping from Denver to Salt Lake City and back. I loved exploring Pearl Street and visiting the Colorado School of Mines Geology Museum. But our most… [Read More]

Saying Good-Bye to Bertha Haugen

Saying good-bye to Grandma Bertha Haugen

Written September 30th. My mom said to cry and to write. I’ve done enough of the former, so it’s time to try the latter. In the 1890s, the Original Brita emigrated from Norway to live in America. She was my great-great-grandmother. In America, she anglicized her name to Bertha and also named her daughter Bertha,… [Read More]

Golden Travels: Colorado School of Mines Geology Museum

Our trip to Golden, Colorado was pretty fantastic! #travel #museums

I’m finally writing more about our Labor Day vacation to Colorado and to Utah! On Labor Day itself, Dan and I headed to Golden, Colorado, which is just outside of Denver. We had been there previously, back in December 2012 when we spent Christmas in Colorado. On that trip, we toured the Coors Brewery, which… [Read More]

Remembering Summer 2014

Three generations of Bjorke women, Summer 2014

I can’t believe today’s the last day of summer! While some bloggers have excitedly prepared for fall since August, I’ve been mourning the end of summer. In Ohio, summer is the one season that actually follows the calendar year. It starts to feel like summer in the middle-to-end of June, and it stays pretty summer-ish… [Read More]

Denver Travels: Exploring Pearl Street

Farmers' Market Pearl Street Denver

The best part of visiting Denver so often is the freedom to explore new neighborhoods and not just stick to a tourist itinerary of museums (although I love that too!). Our first day in Denver, Dan and I met up with my best friend McPhee at a cute little hipster coffee shop, Steam Espresso on… [Read More]
