My dad has been in town for over a week now and we had already made so many memories together. He had the “Huster Tour” of Salt Lake City, got a taste for local life by hiking, jeeping and visiting some of our favorite parks and now it was time for some adventure with a weekend in Moab! If you …
While Keith and I are on motorhome trips we have to balance our time with physical activities like hiking and biking with non-physical activities like jeep drives and sightseeing. The non-physical activities typically lend themselves to weeknight activities for us. Keith works all day so planning our time efficiently is quite important. The longer hikes and excursions end up being …
Looking for a relaxing evening in St. George, Utah? We found plenty to do an evening to visit Kayenta Art Village and Historic Downtown St. George. This gave us a chance to drive around the area a bit and see some fun local sights. These areas would be become places we’d pass quite often while in the area for six …
Keith and I moved just south of Salt Lake City, Utah three and a half years ago so this is our fourth Christmas here. Since all of our family lives in Indiana, we’ve had to create new traditions.

If you missed that post, check it out here: Zion National Park- Crowds and Visitor Responsibility While visiting Zion National Park for the first time, I was pleased with the importance Zion places on preservation of the park through educating visitors to be responsible for themselves while enjoying the …
Where to start? There is so much to say about Zion National Park! The park was established 100 years ago in 1919 and covers over 145,000 acres! The most visited area of Zion is the canyon, which was formed by the Virgin River and continues to impact the park. While visiting the canyon, you are looking above at the 2,000- …
Keith and I were looking forward to getting back into the motorhome for a long trip. Crazy enough it had been nearly two years since our last long trip. Last year we had so many visitors in Utah that our calendar was pretty packed and a motorhome trip just didn’t make sense for us. We had planned to do this …
I get this question pretty often. It’s really not any different than how anyone else has money for certain things. We just choose to put the majority of our disposable income towards travel. By basically being debt-free and choosing to save for travel, we have a rather large “vacation” budget. It’s been a combination of calculated decisions that have gotten …
What a great weekend away this was turning out to be! We had experienced surprises with these interesting locations and even managed to take care of a flat tire. Catch up here if you missed the last two posts: Transcontinental Railroad : Northwest Utah Road Trip Day 1 Wendover : Northwest Utah Road Trip Day 2 One of our main …
