This will be the last of my posts on our trip to Bryce (although I may or may not include some more pictures in tomorrow’s Tell-All. We shall see.) Day Two: No matter how I sit or lie down, my skin burns and itches; the most comfortable position is generally on my back (since …
Bryce Canyon: A Photo & Word Journal, Day One
Day One: We are in the Mazda, speeding our way along the road that will shortly lead us right to the mouth of Bryce Canyon, a local (and national) jewel that I had never taken the chance to go see. My feet are wedged awkwardly next to our bulging bag of chips, Easter candy, and …
Tips on Visiting Bryce in the Spring
With its high elevation and with the heavy snowfall Utah has received this year, I had several people ask me why on earth we chose to go to Bryce Canyon in the middle of March, a month that’s infamous for being completely unpredictable. Now that I’ve actually been, I think there are definitely a couple of …
The Last Decade In Pictures and Bullet Points

Okay, I’ll Bite: 2013 in Review
The blogosphere has been overflowing with “year in review” posts—-people reflecting on new houses bought, babies born, college graduations attended, trips to Europe, yada yada yada. I’m usually not one to participate in such posts—I mean, even just reading about some people’s years makes me feel a little inadequate because we haven’t exactly reached some …
Tuesday Tell-All
*I’m coining a new phrase: vacation hangover. Basically, it just means that head-pounding, groggy sense of reality that smacks you right in the face when you realize that your vacation is officially over and you are getting served a steaming dish of reality. I think that perfectly sums up how it felt to wake up …
