Monday, December 26, 2016 – Zion National Park We returned to Zion on Monday, and what a difference fourteen inches of snow can make! The same views we saw on Friday were now blanketed in white. The day was clear and bright, which made the snow gleam all the more. We planned our activities inContinue reading “A Different Looking Zion”

White Christmas
Sunday, December 25, 2016 – Glendale, Utah and Bryce Canyon National Park Christmas morning brought a white winter wonderland. We ended up with a total of 14 inches of snow from the storm.

Snowed In
Saturday, December 24, 2016 – Glendale, Utah In 2016 we were all still Floridians. We didn’t know that within a few years we would all live in the Upper Midwest or Northeast and that snow and ice would be a normal part of winter life. Snow was definitely a novelty back then and we wereContinue reading “Snowed In”
Angel’s Landing
Friday, December 23, 2016 – Zion National Park After our drive-through of Zion on Thursday we were ready to hit the trails and explore. We entered the park from the east and drove with the rising sun at our backs, lighting the rocks, trees, and canyons despite the overcast sky. Every once in while theContinue reading “Angel’s Landing”
Desert Rain
Thursday, December 22, 2016 – Las Vegas, NV to Glendale, UT via Zion National Park The drive from Las Vegas to St. George, Utah was quite different for us Floridians. Winding through the desert with rocks, mountains and no trees was very different from the swamps and forests of Florida. However, although we were inContinue reading “Desert Rain”
Vegas Lite
Wednesday, December 21, 2016 – Tampa to Las Vegas Our trip started out with an uneventful flight from Tampa to Las Vegas. Everyone was hungry when we arrived, so once we had our luggage and rental car it was straight to In-N-Out. This is quite a habit for us whenever we travel to California, Nevada,Continue reading “Vegas Lite”
December 2016 – “Big 5”, Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada
I’m back! I started this blog in August of 2020 and for a little over a year with few opportunities to pursue our family hobby of traveling and greatly diminished work travel, I found myself with plenty of time to revisit my journals from old trips and transform the entries into blog posts. However, lastContinue reading “December 2016 – “Big 5”, Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada”
Wonder Why We Ever Go Home
Sunday and Monday, October 20-21, 2019, Kaanapali, Maui, Hawaii It was hard to believe Sunday was already our last full day in Maui. Time indeed flies when you’re having fun. It was another very lazy, relaxing day. In the morning we walked a few blocks up the street to the public beach. We found aContinue reading “Wonder Why We Ever Go Home”
Island Time
Saturday, October 19, 2019, Kaanapali, Maui, Hawaii The view from our condo was beautiful. We could open the back door and look at Lanai and Molokai. We could walk about 30 feet from that door to the seawall and look at the sea turtles who visited every morning. It was another gorgeous spot to spendContinue reading “Island Time”
Stayed for Sunset This Time

After spending two full days in Hana, it was time to traverse the Road to Hana in the other direction and enjoy the west side of Maui for a few days. But as usual, weContinue reading “Stayed for Sunset This Time”
