EVERY DAY IS MY UTAH SKI VACATION
I‘m not going to lie to you, I really like snow. Not in a “Hey look, it’s snowing!” type of way, but more of a “snow flows through my veins” kind of thing. Some may say that I’m addicted to snow, but I’m not. I can stop anytime–but why would I? I’ll take as much [...]
IT’S TIME TO SKI FOR THE AGES
I was reminiscing with friends recently about the way things were when we were young as compared to what our own kids experience today. Rotary phones, typewriters, and riding in the back of pickup trucks are all things of the past. Sadly, today’s kids will never know the joys of when disco was new, mullets [...]

The Best Motel We’ve Ever Stayed At
There’s this thing about me and my wife that some people might find surprising. First, we like to go on road trips. Especially spontaneous ones. The part that might surprise you is that we love to stay in cheap motels. REALLY cheap motels. Today we found ourselves spontaneously driving through the the Nevada desert. It’s [...]
Last Minute Packing–A Brief Post
I had an awesome day today as the boys and I traveled to Colorado to their two-week summer camp. Over the years my wife and I have developed a routine for packing our luggage. Basically it involves cramming so much into our lives that we barely have time to sleep, let alone pack. So we [...]
How To Pack for Summer Camp
The key to having a successful luggage-packing experience is time. Leave yourself enough time to do it right. In other words, DO NOT FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE. In fact, if you’ve landed on this site from a Google search of ‘How To Pack Correctly’ then you’re definitely in the wrong place. On the other hand, remember [...]
Take a Virtual Family Vacation to Universal Orlando Resort With Us
We just got back from Universal Orlando Resort, unpacked our bags, and are now heading back again (good thing we’ve done the laundry!). We knew we were returning 2 weeks later for a trip to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, so the first time around we just caught the highlights (of which there were many). [...]
Traveling in an Orange-colored Pickup Truck–Life Before the DVD Player
Sometimes I think it was easier back when my parents took the family on vacation. We had an orange pickup truck with a camper shell on the back–not a camper, mind you, just one of those shells that covers the bed of the truck. My parents would throw a couple of foam pads in the [...]
You Should’ve Been in (my) Pictures
The year 2010 has been a huge and eventful one for me and my family, so you can expect to see me continue writing about it in the coming months (and perhaps years, it just depends on how boring/exciting 2011 turns out to be). For now, since I’m participating in the Kodak Gallery giveaway, I’ll [...]
