To me, vacationing is all about family. Each year we try and get together with some of our extended family and spend time together. Since all of my family lives across the country, this can be difficult. When my sister told me that she and her family would be willing to travel [...]
One of the places we visited on our three week vacation was Yosemite. We love going here. When I was little, this is one of the places that we would frequent on our vacations so it brings back a lot of memories. Living in New Jersey, I had forgotten how dark it [...]
If you have a young son or daughter who love Star Wars, you MUST attend the Jedi Training Academy at Disneyland or Disney World. I wish that I had read up on some camcorder reviews before my trip and bought a new camcorder. While my camera is good at taking pictures, sometimes the [...]
If you hadn’t noticed (I tried to do some blogging in the middle), I was absent for three weeks on an amazing vacation! I flew into Las Vegas with two of the kids (my older daughter was already in Salt Lake City) and drove to SLC. We met my sister there and visited [...]

I have decided that part of my vacation this year will be spent driving between Las Vegas, Utah and California. I found that it was cheaper to fly into Las Vegas and drive than try and make flight plans between my home and Utah and California.
Part of my driving will take place [...]
I plan my vacation in stages. The first step is finding decent prices for airline tickets. (Well really the first step is to find a quick weight loss solution so that I look good on my vacation!) The second step is to book the rental car. Then I look for hotels [...]
