We never have been that adventurous…but this summer’s time away has changed that. On Labor Day, after a few hours of thrilling house cleaning, we drove out to the Potomac River and did a little boating. Other than the fact that the air was stale and muggy and hot, the afternoon and evening were…
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…
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,…
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…
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,…
Montgomery, Alabama #WW
This past weekend, I was in Montgomery, Alabama, on a press trip with Hyundai. Before the Hyundai events began, a few of us that had arrived at the hotel early hopped on a trolley tour of downtown Montgomery. I loved getting a quick peek at the city of Montgomery and all the history that…
