yesterday, we departed from moab (to a cozy new campground with full hookups and fast internet AND cable). but, i will now reflect on the random miscellaneous memories of the second two weeks of our time in moab. before we left our actual campground campsite, i made everyone take one last bath/shower. then the girls, […]

moab adventures with friends.
in the grand tetons we met a new fun family and we made fast friends. we realized we were scheduled to be at glacier at the same time a few weeks later. then we went our separate ways for a bit, but last sunday, they rolled in (like a BUNCH of hours out of their […]
a very educational salt lake city day.
on our first visit to salt lake city a few month ago, derek was out of town for the week, and we were a good 50 minutes away from anything cool in the city. this time around, i had a long list of things i wanted to check out. first on the list, was a […]
idaho arrival day.
we have actually passed through idaho a couple of times already. once on our way from salt lake city to yellowstone. then from glacier to eastern washington. but after our quick stop in baker city, we were on our way for a week long visit to the potato state. our reservations in boise didn’t start […]
lazy days in newport, washington.
after our very amazing and fast paced month in yellowstone, grand tetons and glacier national park, we made our way into eastern washington, for a decidedly less exciting leg of our trip. we are basically just killing some time, allowing south utah to cool off a bit before we return to visit a ton of […]
single mom week in utah.
after our long, boring week in duchesne, utah, we made our way to heber city, just outside of salt lake city. we needed to be near an airport, so derek could fly out for work for the week. derek put us up in a fancy pants rv park with all the best amenities, and close […]
train rides and tent camping.
after derek and i took our excursion to twin lakes, i couldn’t shake the idea that we would camp there. we decided that we would leave friday and head down, spend one night and then get back on track to rifle on saturday. once that was decided, the grandlidboms decided to stay a little bit […]
vail, with the grandlidboms.
after denver, we set off to meet derek’s parents for a week in vail. we were able to park our camper in a lot nearby (for free!) and spent the week in a resort, with a dishwasher, spacious shower and bath tub, garbage disposal, cable, a pool, a huge fridge, and a bunch of various […]
denver-ish week.
sorry for the slacktitude in posting. we had a pretty busy week visiting friends and family in denver. then we were with family (and without computer) in vail. and now we are in rifle, colorado, with terrible internet, so uploading pictures takes a backseat to derek getting to do his job. he went in town […]
mt. evans layover.
so. there was a gap in our reservations between colorado springs and chatfield state park (near denver). long story. but the main theme was, it was memorial day and a lot of places aren’t even open yet and the ones that are are jam packed. so, we found ourselves in a denver city park outside […]
