Today’s post is going to be short because I’m currently packing up to make the return trip home to Maryland after being gone all summer. My emotions are running high right now…I’ll be leaving my oldest daughter in this state as we drive across the country and I won’t be seeing her again until…
And a New Stage of Motherhood Has Begun… #WW
On Monday, I dropped my oldest daughter off at her college apartment. I’ve entered a new stage of motherhood. We made a dozen trips carrying all of her possessions up to her 2nd floor apartment, unpacked what we could, did a big grocery shopping trip to stock her fridge and kitchen shelves….and then we…
Our Trip to Mount Rushmore #PSF – Give Me Your Best Shot
Mount Rushmore is one of those places that every American should make a point to see in person. It took us several days of driving to finally make it to South Dakota, but the time to find Mount Rushmore was worth the effort. I think that my favorite part of visiting Mount Rushmore was…
Salt Lake City Temple Square #WW
You can’t travel to or through Utah without making a stop at Temple Square. My sister and I took some of the kids to see the Salt Lake Temple and the Church History Museum, which is just across the street from Temple Square. We had a blast! I wish we had had more time…
Nauvoo, Illinois, and Carthage Jail #PSF
I’ve been slowly working through my family’s cross-country road trip and all of the stops we made between Maryland and Utah. After visiting Kirtland, Ohio, we drove eat toward Nauvoo, Illinois, for another LDS Church History stop. Nauvoo was home to early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from late…
Ogden Temple Open House #WW
Today, my mom and dad, 3 of my kids, and 3 of their cousins and I toured the newly completed Odgen Temple. What a beautiful temple Open House! If you ever have the opportunity to attend a temple open house in your area…do it! Even if you’re not LDS, go! Ogden Temple Open House…
Our Trip to Kirtland, Ohio #PSF
One of the goals of our family road trip was to make as many meaningful stops as possible on the way out West. Our second stop on our trip was to Kirtland, Ohio. Sadly, we didn’t have a lot of time to spend in Kirtland, but even with just under 3 hours or so,…
Flight 93 National Memorial, Stoystown Pennsylvania #WW
The very first stop of our 3000+ mile family road trip was the Flight 93 National Memorial in Southwest Pennsylvania. Things to know before you visit: There is a limited restroom facility (basically, a permanent outhouse) but no water or food. Bring your own water if you’ll need it during your visit. The Memorial…
Hiking to Silver Lake in the Uinta National Forest #PSF
After driving over 3200 miles across the country and taking a day to rest (and to do lots and lots of laundry) we thought it would be fun to take a “quick” 5 mile hike with the cousins. Let’s just say that 5 miles straight up and down a mountain is very different (and…
7 People, 7 Days, 3200 Miles #WW
Tonight, we finally pulled in to our final destination. Over the last 7 days, our family of seven has covered over 3200 miles in our van, which was packed tight with our clothes, camping gear, and practically everything that my oldest daughter possesses. We have crossed many states, experienced memorials, state and national parks,…
