We’d had a busy couple days as detailed in Part 1, and everyone was feeling it. We were all tired, so Friday morning everyone slept in late and we took our time getting ready to head back to Rocky Mountain National Park. Rocky Mountain High The kids were pretty much hiked out, but there was …

A Rocky Mountain Vacation (Part 1)
Last week we went on a fun road trip with our next-door neighbors and good friends, the Francises. We had a fun trip with them back in January. We had so much fun together we decided to schedule a longer trip (4 days, 3 nights) for a summer getaway. We considered going camping, but ended …
Zermatt Girl’s Getaway
This was supposed to be a weekend getaway with Seth’s Mom and sisters, but after Mom’s recent fall and pelvis fracture, we had to reorganize and make a new plan. Instead, we decided to make it a weekend away with our little girls. Rachel brought Lucy and I brought Meg, Katelyn and Claire. Seth’s sister …
Tulip Festival 2014
Due to a super hectic schedule, I had to fit in a quick visit to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point whenever I could. It just happened to fall on the first day it opened. Unfortunately, a lot of tulips were still in the process of opening up, but we still had a great time …
Meadow Hot Springs
We went camping last weekend and had a blast. It is always a lot of work, but we usually have a great time together. The drive was pretty significant since we went all the way down to White Sand Mountain, just west of Meadow, UT. Uncle Bryan had been down there a few times with …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Seven: At Sea
Friday, February 7 After yesterday’s super-fun day in St. Lucia (which may have been the overall favorite day of the cruise), we were looking forward to a nice, relaxing day on the ship with very little itinerary. Unfortunately, our day started off too early. Room service came by and woke us up before we were …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Six: St. Lucia
Thursday, February 6 Manina and I were in charge activities on St. Lucia. We had booked a speedboat with Exodus charters who would take us down the west coast of St. Lucia. We had done a similar trip when we had visited this lovely isle before several years ago when Manina’s brother Derek got married, …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Five: Martinique
Wednesday, February 5 It wasn’t easy, but I convinced Manina to hang out with me on Martinique. She was disappointed to miss our planned hike, as was I. But, based on the insider information I’d received the previous night, I doubted we would be able to make that happen. So, she called our friends and …

2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Four: Antigua
Tuesday, February 4 I awoke early and went out to watch the sunrise. Caribbean sunrises don’t come along very often in my life, so I was determined to enjoy it. We were heading almost directly East, toward the island of Antigua, so I made my way to the very front of the ship and simply …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Three: St. Croix
Monday, February 3 We were roused from our solid slumber by room service bringing our eggs and fruit that we’d ordered the previous night. Waking to breakfast being delivered is something that I could really get used to. We ate the breakfast quickly and went to work out. Manina and I did a high-intensity 7-minute …
