I was so excited to get a call from my sister last October sharing with me the news that she was pregnant! Keith and I were thrilled to hear this news and congratulate Jill and Aaron. It was fun to get updates about her pregnancy and how the baby was growing. Keith and I didn’t plan on going home this …
As we explained in our last post, Summer Bucket List Review, Keith and I were staying more local this summer with lots of visitors in Utah. This was a great opportunity to attend events and explore closer to home. We created a bucket list and checked off lots of fun activities. There are SO MANY hikes around our area and …
Keith and I decided we were going to stay local this summer. There were events we wanted to attend in our hometown and summer activities that we hadn’t had the chance to do yet. We had lots of family/friends visiting or passing through Utah so this was a great opportunity to explore closer to home. Keith and I created a …
Keith and I pretty much have a full day tour planned for visitors now. The tour consists of highlights along the Wasatch Mountains, through several canyons to see the ski resorts, driving over Guardsman’s Pass to Park City and exploring that side of the Wasatch. Main Street in Park City for lunch is a must followed by exploring Olympic Park. …

One thing I’ve found very useful in planning is to have …
My cousin, Nancy, and her family would be meeting us at Arches National Park for a full day of exploring!

Since Renee and I have been friends forever, she knows Nancy but hadn’t seen her in …
One of my oldest friends and her husband were meeting us in Moab. Renee and Keith flew into Colorado to visit her family earlier in the week. They were meeting us today, spending two nights in Moab and then traveling back to Pleasant Grove to stay with us for a few days before flying out of Salt Lake City. I …
The Fiery Furnace hike is something very unique in Arches National Park. You must have a self-guided permit or ticket for a ranger led tour to enter this maze of sandstone. Tickets do sell out quickly so you do need to plan ahead for this hike. See the Arches National Park website for specific details. This trail is most often described …
What are the chances that two of my cousins, from opposite sides of my family, and one of my best friends would all be in Moab around the same time?? I felt as lucky as can be to have these three groups planning their own family vacations and being able to meet up with them. My two cousins and their …
I had heard that the Sunday brunch at Sundance was amazing! It had been two years since I could celebrate my mom’s birthday with her… a few days early, but close enough! So I made reservations and had high hopes that it would live up to the hype. The brunch is at The Foundry Grill, which we’ve never been to …
