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 …
Meeting Family and Friends in Moab
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 …
Road Trip Part 6 of 6: Sundance Brunch and Salt Lake City
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 …

Family Boating Trips
Every year for the last 14 years, a big group of family (or those who are like family) take a boating trip to Kentucky or Tennessee. It’s something we all look forward to. I’m reminiscing this year because Keith and I didn’t make the trip. We drove home last summer to attend and decided we would try to make the …
Reflecting on our Month-Long Trip to Panguitch, Utah
This has a “Dear Diary” feel as I sit in bed at 8:00am with my Wonderlust Cowgirl Coffee and a blueberry muffin. It feels like cruel and unusual punishment to eat it with Lexi waiting for an bit she can find. She gets even more desperate as I near the last bites, I did sneak her a tiny morsel. Even …
