A Day in Denver, Colorado + Hammond’s Candies Factory Tour #PSF

  When we were making plans for our month-long road trip this summer, one of the places that I was most eager to stop through was Denver. My best friend and her family moved to the Denver area (which, in case you’re not familiar with US geography, is REALLY FAR from Maryland…) nearly 2 years […]

Disney’s Tomorrowland on Blu-ray/DVD - Chatting With Brad Bird

  I had the opportunity to interview Brad Bird, Director and Producer of Disney’s Tomorrowland, when I was in Los Angeles last month for the #TomorrowlandBloggers, #AladdinBloggers, #Disneyland60 press event. All travel expenses were covered, but all thoughts are my own. Photos courtesy of Disney (other than the shot of Brad Bird alone, since I […]

High Ropes Course at the Museum of Natural Curiosity #PSF

High ropes course at the Museum of Natural Curiosity

  My kids and I have been to the Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point (Utah) many, many times, thanks to my mom’s Grandparent’s Pass. So my kids had seen the High Ropes course and commented on it dozens of times. At the end of this summer (yes, I’m still making my way through […]

Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration

  I had the opportunity to celebrate 60 years of magic at Disneyland last week as part of the #Disneyland60 | #AladdinBloggers | #TomorrowlandBloggers media event. Although travel and accommodations were covered, all thoughts are my own. I don’t remember the first time I went to Disneyland. Growing up in California with grandparents that lived […]

Grand Canyon, North Rim: Family Travel Spot #PSF

  One of the highlights of our recent road trip was visiting the Grand Canyon for the very first time. Since we were driving in via Mesquite, Nevada, we headed toward the North Rim (which is the less-busy side) and absolutely fell in love. I would have loved to stay in the Grand Canyon for […]

Dinosaur National Monument #PSF

  It’s time to step back in time…to the age of the dinosaurs. I’ve been to dinosaur museums before. I’ve stood at the foot of enormous, life-sized dinosaur bones (casts, really). I’ve read dinosaur books to my kids. But never before had I walked in their footsteps, touched the bones, observed where they walked….and died. […]

10 Things You Should Know About Visiting the Petroglyphs in Vernal, Utah #PSF

  One of my favorite days of my summer road trip was the day that I spent at the McConkie Ranch Petroglyphs in Vernal, Utah (up Dry Fork Canyon). While my husband and oldest son were off hiking the High Uintas and my girls were all visiting my oldest daughter’s college campus, my mom, dad, […]

Arches National Park #PSF

I am finally home for good from my summer of traveling. I miss it. I miss being on the road and having daily adventures. I miss the chance to be with my kids – no distractions (because, let’s face it…most of the remote locations we visited did not have great cell phone coverage, and I […]

Summer Memories #PSF

  I have been away from home more than I’ve been home since mid June….and I’m gone again this week. Since I don’t have all of my vacation photos on my little travel Chromebook, I decided to share a few of my favorite somewhat random Instagram photos from our travels. What have you been up […]

Madame Tussauds DC #PSF

  I have to start off by saying that this week has taken a lot out of me. I am sitting down to write this post with hardly an ounce of energy left in me. So don’t mistake my lack of words in this post to mean that I didn’t have a blast with my […]
