This past weekend we decided to turn a quick trip into a girl’s five-day getaway. Seth’s brother, Matt and his finance Jasmine (who we all love) decided to tie the knot in San Francisco. With only a few day’s notice, mom thought it might be fun for the girl’s to head down and surprise them …

Caribbean Cruise (Part 2)
Monday, February 13 After a rough night at sea, Monday’s weather forecast promised improvement. A little cooler than usual thanks to the cold front from the day before that had caused the winds, but in the Caribbean that means its 75° instead of 81°. We got up early and packed for a beach day at …
Caribbean Cruise (Part 1)
I don’t really like reading or even hearing about other people’s travels — it just makes me jealous. When a post like this one comes up on someone else’s blog, I don’t even bother reading it. So, I can’t really be upset if you don’t read this one. However, I feel like I have to …
Cruising
In February, we had an awesome family vacation visiting Disneyland. So in 2012, we’re also planning a vacation in February, but this one is going to be a little different — we’re leaving the kids behind, and Manina and I are going on a cruise! The location should be great — we’re leaving from Ft. …
2011 Johnson Family Campout
Continuing with tradition, we attended the annual Johnson Family Camp out last week at Tanner Flats in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The kids look forward to it like Christmas. We camped for three days (two nights). Thanks to our kind neighbors I had a pop-up camper for me and Ellie to use, but Seth and most …
First Scout Camp
I have been asked to step in as scoutmaster for our local Boy Scout troop. Like a good soldier, I said yes, even though I knew from previous efforts the amount of time involved. The one thing that I’m excited about is that now that Jacob has turned 11 I can bring him along with …
Spring break – off to warmer weather
With the kids being out of school for an entire week, we decided to head South to find some sun. We left here on Wednesday afternoon and spent the rest of the week playing around in St. George. My dad has a home there so it is gives us a good excuse to go visit. …
Ski Date: Deer Valley
Just like last year, I managed to get a free ski pass to the world famous Deer Valley resort. I thought it would be fun to bring Manina along this time so we could make a date out of it. Manina was pretty nervous. So nervous, in fact, that her anxiety was making her borderline …
Vacation Day 4: More Disney Fun
Wednesday, February 9, 2011 We were all pretty tired from a full Tuesday in California Adventures. Megan, Jacob and I left early so we could get fast passes for everyone to see the World of Color show. When the rest of the crew arrived at the park, we split off again. Jacob and Megan really …
Vacation Day 3: California Adventures
Tuesday, February 8, 2011 Unlike our Monday at Disneyland, we were able to get right into the park on Tuesday. Since it was “magic morning” at Disneyland, where some passholders are able to get in early, we decided to go where the crowds weren’t: California Adventures. The whole morning, we probably only saw a handful …
