London: Last day

by Kristi on November 15, 2023


Whew! The last full day was a Friday and we had a walking tour to see the Changing of the Guard. We jumped on the Underground to meet the group at Piccadilly Circus and took a few pictures at the fountain. Can I say I’m an awesome photographer? Look at that! Beautiful photo, fountain behind […]

London: Adventures Underground

by Kristi on November 6, 2023


Thursday was our day to visit Windsor which was a 4-5 hour experience so we didn’t plan much else. When I was researching, I thought it would be fun to go to Little Venice and explore the canals, have breakfast, and rent bikes and ride around. We made plans to meet at 8:45am and at […]

London: All that History

by Kristi on November 4, 2023


Continued from Day 1. I ended up making it to the Tower of London after not setting an alarm in the morning and therefore waking up terribly late. I forced them to go on without me but Dad grabbed a coffee at “Paul’s” which made him super happy and allowed me to catch up 20m […]

London: Themes & Tea

by Kristi on October 30, 2023


While London is a trip in itself, it was really the 3rd leg of a longer travel adventure. I started off in Fort Lauderdale at a work event, which was successful. Then, had a beautiful 48 hours with my Besties in Miami (which needs a recap itself!) and then got on a plane at 9PM […]

Our Taylor Swift Era

by Kristi on September 7, 2023


I’ve been listening to Taylor Swift since… so long ago. I’m assuming I started listening around her Fearless Era, where Griffin would have been under one year old and Love Story was very popular on the radio. I know I was hooked. I loved that song (still do!). I vividly remember watching the White Horse […]

New York State of Mind

by Kristi on September 3, 2023


This summer was a bit of a haze. The kids were quite busy. Griffin was gone almost three weeks – one week at Boy Scout summer camp in Oregon and then backpacking for two weeks at Philmont. While he was gone, Sam and I kept busy with sleepovers at JJ’s, movies, and hikes. I had […]

After being on the ship for a day, we felt we would want to get out and walk around when we hit Ketchikan, Alaska. So we booked a tour with Wild Wolf Tours which ended up being fantastic. It took me a few minutes to realize we would NOT SEE WOLVES. Seriously. It was named […]

We researched our next Spring Break vacation until we found the perfect spot in Villa Gordon. Hidden away between Sosua and Cabarete was a little community of 10+ homes, a hotel, and an amazing restaurant all behind a guarded gate. This beach house was perfect for our extended family of 11 to visit and hang […]

It took us a little over two hours to reach Ponderosa Ranch near Zion National Park. It was a beautiful drive and Sharon sat up with Justin while they examined all the beautiful canyons and quaint towns.  The towns were really adorable! Truck and I read books. GG played on his iPad and Sam just […]

by Kristi on July 6, 2014 · 2 comments


After we finished touring the Grand Canyon (if you missed it, that post is here) we woke up, packed up, and headed out towards Page, Arizona for our rafting trip at 1PM. The road followed the end (beginning??) of the Grand Canyon and we came up to the Watchtower so of course, we had to […]

What an amazing start to our road trip! We packed up the RV and headed out. The RV is really nice. There are some hiccups, as there usually are, but it’s a really nice vehicle compared to the last one we rented. In great condition, it doesn’t redline when we go up the hills, and […]
