Attempted Leaf Peeping
We attempted some leaf pepping based on all the reports, but we were a bit too early for the area. We saw tons of yellow aspens from the road, but hardly any orange and only rare glimpses of red and even then, only in bushes. It was a gorgeous day and we had fun, so…
Sister Weekend
His sisters came for a visit. All of them. On Friday the 13th! LOL! They had a tiny slumber party the night before their insanely early flight and were at our condo before 10am Mountain Time. We took them to our favorite lunch spot. It’s one we rarely visit early enough for breakfast. I got…
Bright Nights
Sometimes, we get so lucky that it’s scary. Often that is paired with some unlucky moments. Sometimes, things just work out the way they are supposed to. Unlucky #1: We wanted to go to the Bright Nights’ Adult Night, but it was while we were in Canada. So, we bought regular tickets and just picked…
Pretty park day
Sleigh Ride
an experience we will never forget
Zion Canyon Balloon loop – Part 5

Zion Canyon Balloon loop – Part 3
Day 8 – Orderville UT to Page AZ Our drive was very short and easy, but wow was there a temperature difference. Orderville was beautiful during the day (75ºish) but could be cold; it got down to 38º one night. Page was hot. It was only 88º, but the sun was just beating since there…
Big Western Circle Trip #2 – Part 10/end
Day 35 – lazy day We might have booked a bit too long in Sundance…but we also padded rest time into our trip (along with short/easy driving days). We started the day with a Dutch Baby, which is like an enormously fluffy pancake/crepe. Thank you, Acre Homestead, for teaching me what these are! Day 36…
