Our travel day started oh so early! Woke up at 4:00 AM, we all met at Jen’s at 5:00 AM and Stef graciously drove us to Denver for our ubber-early flight. This kind of early is even too early with coffee, seriously! But, it was totally and entirely (redundant, I know) worth it.
Our journey to Salt Lake was perfect! Every little detail wa [...]

Summer 2014 – Concerts, Travels...
Whew! Back from a great trip, thinking back on it all, fondly.
If you know me at all, you know how hard it is for me to be away from my family. This year was no exception and probably was even a bit harder for this girl. Why? You may or may not wonder, but I am gonna tell you. Ha! This particular trip always falls on two very special birthday [...]
Fun times at the Sand Dunes
Sum, Sum, Summer time………..
Summer holds a dear place in my heart because I get to spend more time with my family. I enjoy the more relaxed schedules, the sleeping in a bit later, staying up a bit later and our little getaways.
I cannot imagine doing life without my best friend and our two little minions (and their friends). [...]
A Very Important Date
After we were sufficiently heated up from the warm temperatures at the Grand Canyon, we gassed up and had a quick bite to eat before we headed back on the road. Our next big trek was to be this one, Arizona to California. The only place we had a specific date we had to be there was our hotel reservations for Disneyland.
During our long hau [...]
At Long Last…….
THE day is finally here!
Saturday, June 12th 2010
It is 5:00 am and Hayden has been up since 4:30, dressed and ready to go. I scramble to get my last shower at home, Kip tries to wrap up a few work issues and Gillian stumbles downstairs wrapped up in her soft blankie ready to sleep once we load ourselves into the Motor home (ya right). Exc [...]
The Making of a Family Vacation
For the past couple of years we have tried to plan a couple of different family vacations and for a variety of reasons they didn’t work out. Hayden and Gillian were so gracious and understanding when we didn’t make it to Mount Rushmore last Summer but they continued to talk about going somewhere out of Colorado. We have created [...]
Space Bag Travel Tip
While trying to figure out how to pack for our family vacation (7 days x 7 people), we had to be creative and think outside the suitcase. Although the RV has lots of great storage, we needed to make things easy and not create a lot of extra weight.
Our solution? Space Bags and Ziplock Bags.
These clear (on one side) bags make it easy to [...]
You can’t go snowshoeing again&...
I’m old enough to know that it is impossible to consciously try to repeat ‘good times.’
Over time, we have gone on trips to places where a year or two before we enjoyed some of the best times of our lives. However, when we returned, it just wasn’t the same. Different phase-of-life, different expectations, who knows? [...]
