For Memorial Day weekend this year Rob and I decided to explore some of the state parks not too far from home. We left work early Friday afternoon and headed South until we hit Spanish Fork; turning off of I-15 South to Highway 6 through Spanish Fork Canyon.  The traffic…

Rob and I set a goal last fall that we want to visit every state park in Utah before we move out of the state. There are 43 state parks in Utah. No that doesn’t seem like that many, but they are scattered all over the state; some that are…

Since Rob and I used most of my PTO (9 of 10 days for the year) for our honeymoon, we decided that we wanted to take advantage of every three day weekend we got off for the rest of 2015. About a week before Fourth of July weekend, we thought…
