Adventures of Seth & Manina and their six kids from 2007-2020
We returned yesterday from a Caribbean cruise vacation. We spent the last week visiting islands of indescribable beauty and having a great time vacationing with our friends. But, before I tell you all about the wonderful week in paradise, I have to explain our journey getting home. We boarded US Airways flight 770 from San …

After we’d totally gorged ourselves on our deep-fried turkey, we sat around in a tryptophan-induced coma for a while, played some games, and let the kids watch a movie in Grandpa Gary’s office. As the evening went along, the kids grew restless and so to give Manina and her dad some time to chit-chat, I …
The Tour of Utah has grown every year and it’s getting to be a big-time event here in the state. Since I enjoy cycling, I love going to see the races to see and appreciate the things these professional athletes can do. They’re amazing. This year was a lot of fun. On Thursday, August 8, …
I’ve ridden a century (100 mile bike ride) every year since I started cycling. Last year, I did the Watchman 100 in the Fall and loved riding down in St. George. I briefly considered doing the same ride, but opted instead to do the Tour de St. George. We’ve become good friends with the Denney …
Our ward had its annual Fathers and Sons camp out last weekend. Every time I go camping with the scouts, Drew wants to come along. “This one probably isn’t good for little dudes, buddy,” is my typical response. So Drew was super excited to get to come along this time. Starting about two weeks before …
Utah isn’t the best place for pro sports, but over the last two weekends we had some great opportunities to cheer on our local teams. On April 28, Megan and I got invited to go to a Real Salt Lake soccer match. Megan has been playing soccer for several years and was excited to go …
We are always involved in some type of sport around our house so I never think to post about it. Basketball season ended last month. Jake played on a team that played in several leagues so it went from October to February. We were happy to see it finally come to an end. Jake started …
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 …
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 …
I got a letter this week from the U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City. Turns out that I’ve been selected to serve as a juror. I don’t know anything about the case, whether I’ll be empaneled, whether the judge will be impressed by my history as a lawyer or if he’ll also be concerned …
