Keith and I are always creating lists of the places we want to go and the things we want to do. It’s fun to learn about new places and add it to our lists. Like most lists I make, the “to-do’s” continually out number the ”done’s.” It does get a little complicated when trying to plan because we want …
We cannot believe that this is our 100th post! Documenting our experiences has been so much fun and we love this online journal of our lives. It’s fun to share this with our family, friends and others along the way. We appreciate everyone who reads, watches, comments, etc. It’s been so encouraging as we have transformed our lives to include …
Do you first think about all the places you’ve been or the places you want to go? Sometimes I immediately envision my google map with all the tiny flags indicating places I want to go. Sometimes I think about all the places I’ve been and the memories I have. I recently was looking through a list of all my favorite …
“Find Your Solitude” is the tagline for Solitude Mountain Resort and could not be more fitting for this peaceful resort in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah. It’s easy to find solitude early in the morning, late in the day and really with every hour between. Don’t let the peacefulness be confused with easy. There is plenty of challenging terrain to be …
We have been wanting to visit the Ice Castles in Midway, Utah since we first got a glimpse of this magical place! That was over two years ago during our first winter in Utah. We missed it that year simply because we didn’t know the timing of the event. Last year we missed it because the winter season started off …
As soon as Keith heard about the DJI Osmo Pocket he couldn’t stop telling me about it. The hype surrounding this video camera seemed too good to be true. A powerful camera WITH an integrated GIMBAL that FITS IN the palm of your HAND and can be carried in your pocket?? WHAT?? This is something that I didn’t even know …
The GoPro Hero 7 Black was released in July 2018, but we just recently decided to upgrade. We’ve had our GoPro Hero 5 Black for a couple years now and that was the first GoPro we have ever owned. We bought the GoPro because we wanted to be able to film hiking, skiing, biking, swimming, etc. since we moved to …
Snow sports and Salt Lake City go hand in hand. Skiing, snowboarding, heli-skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling; just to mention a few options. There are numerous resort options within an hour drive of SLC. This post will focus on the four ski resorts in the Cottonwood Canyons. It won’t take long for you to start hearing about Big Cottonwood Canyon (BCC) and …
Wow, what a year this has been! To sum it up, 2018 has been the year of visitors for us! We’ve had 8 groups of people who were able to see us in Utah this year! 5 of those were able to actually come to our home. 2018 is also been extremely special for our family because my sister and …
During our first winter season in Utah, we heard that skiing on Christmas Day is typically pretty great! Often times it is snowing or has just snowed that week so the conditions on the mountain are good. We were told that the mornings are pretty bare since most people are celebrating with family and only a few more skiers arrive …
