The perfect national park entry sign photo doesn't ex...wait! It does! 😍🦬

This bison (buffalo, same thing btw) was perfectly posing with the Badlands National Park sign when we drove in last week. Couldn't ask for a better park sign photo!

Have the mums taken over yet where you live? I saw them for sale in Missouri in August! 😆 They're always a sure sign that fall is here, for real. I'm not a fan of yellow or orange though. These purple/pink ones were a nice change of pace, spotted in Nashville last year.

A work day in the field looks a lot different these days! 😁 Swipe to see Engineer Rachel in the field. 👉

Honestly, I loved my engineering job. I still love bridges and will talk about them and photograph them whenever I can. But I also love my current job. It's been 3 years since I started my travel business in earnest, and I'm still lovin' it, struggles and all!

Inspecting a bridge over an international border on the Great Lakes is pretty cool. So is spending the day at a waterpark for research. 😎

What about you? Have you given up a cool job to go do a different cool job? Tell me all about it in the comments!
