It’s hard to believe that I am still going through pictures from this summer’s trip. I suppose this is what happens when the 6-week-long road trip ends the day before school starts. We jumped right in to the fall routine and haven’t had a real chance to recover from the travel. Or maybe it’s…
Grand Teton National Park #WW
It has been 2 months now since our cross-country trek from Maryland to Utah (it’s hard to believe it has been that long!) and I am STILL going through photos from our trip for the first time. The beauty and majesty of the Tetons are almost indescribable. I had to hold myself back from…
Devils Tower National Monument – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
It feels like a lifetime since we stopped at Devils Tower in Wyoming. My husband has wanted to see Devil’s Tower in person since he was a kid who loved the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and it just happened to be on the road between Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone as we…
100% All-Natural Family Adventure #GCFLnofilter
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gulf County, Florida for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. As summer comes to a close and the kids head back to school, I am reminded why I love summer so much. Sleeping in, spending quality AND quantity time with family and friends, being…
One Last Night with My Siblings #PSF
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…
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…
Memories of Childhood Vacations #SensationalMemories
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Arm & Hammer. The opinions and text (plus old summer photos and childhood vacation memories) are all mine. Spending the summer with my mom and dad and my sister’s family of seven has certainly brought back memories of the summers that we used…
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,…
