great basin national park.

Posted on October 16, 2018by sarah

initially, we were pretty sure there was no way we were going to squeeze in a trip to great basin national park. it’s a little off the beaten path, and the internet isn’t so hot, so with derek starting his new job, it wasn’t looking like a possibility. then, we had the bright idea that […]

lake tahoe with the grandlidboms.

Posted on July 25, 2018by sarah

it has been a LONG time since our last visit from the grandlidboms. we spent christmas in san diego with them, so it had been over six months by the time our lake tahoe visit rolled around, and the kids could barely contain themselves. we arrived and set up a little before they were able […]

Posted on December 5, 2017by sarah

derek had to work on black friday, so i dragged the kids out of town, to check out “seven magic mountains”. basically, it’s an art installation, comprised of giant stacked and painted rocks, just south of vegas. it’s pretty cool to see it pop up in the middle of an otherwise drab desert landscape. as […]

escape to red rock canyon

Posted on December 4, 2017by sarah

at this point, i don’t think it’s a secret that i’m not a fan of las vegas, so i was pretty glad to venture out of the city with my mom, to do a bit of hiking and exploring in the red rock canyon. the ride there was mostly standard desert colors, but as soon […]

las vegas springs preserve

Posted on December 1, 2017December 4, 2017by sarah

our second major field trip while new gramma and grampa terry were in town was the las vegas springs preserve. i didn’t know stuff like this existed in las vegas, but i guess there’s probably families who live here who need places to go that aren’t casinos. we learned a lot about the history of […]

Posted on November 14, 2017by sarah

well, we had big plans to go to page, arizona and then the grand canyon, before meeting my parent in vegas in a few days. but, we have some camper issues that we need to get looked at (specifically, some water damage in the floor), so take a more direct route to vegas, to get […]
