I have assembled a travel bucket list over the past couple of years because it is in my 40's when I first realized my love of travel. Maybe it's because I realize that time is fleeting or it's my oldest daughter and her wanderlust that pushed me outside of my boundaries. Can you… Continue reading Where Do You Wanna Go?

Last week we got the opportunity to go to Salt Lake City, Utah for a family vacation. We haven't been on a "real vacation" in years. I should say that we have been lucky to visit my parents when they lived in Tennessee for four years and those were indeed vacations but this… Continue reading I Love Utah But Utah Doesn’t Love Me
