Pursuit of Wonderment

A family adventure, travel, and experience sharing blog.

“And into the forest I must go, to lose my mind and find my soul” -John Muir

Hi! Welcome to my Pursuit of Wonderment, a family adventure blog.

My family and I relocated to Las Vegas from the East Coast a couple of years ago. We are using our relocation opportunity to explore the Southwest and West! My husband and I like to promote curious adventures and outdoor time with our kids so we’re exploring National Parks, State Parks, Recreation areas, ski areas, state attractions, etc. I’m sharing some of our mini adventures and experiences below!

Check out my blog for other various topics. Happy Trails!
