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 […]

girls only canyonland camping trip.
ok. so canyonlands is basically divided into three parts, separated by the colorado and green rivers. to the north, is the island in the sky district, which has a lot of short hikes and overlooks, and is where we had gone for all of our adventures up until now. to the west is the maze […]
boise and salt lake city miscellany.
our down time in boise and salt lake city was pretty uneventful, so i’m crammimg all of the uneventfulness into one blog post. firstly. boise. we had high hopes of a lot of adventures. we did manage to hit up the capitol, the old penitentiary, and the science center. but, then a crazy amount of […]
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 […]
