Planning a Walt Disney World vacation doesn’t happen overnight. You’ve got ADR (Advance Dining Reservations) to thoughtfully plan out six months in advance, you’ve got fastpass+ reservations that happen two months out, and that doesn’t even include the forethought that goes into choosing accommodations. Though we are spontaneous travelers by nature, this is the one trip that we plan...

Leave the Kids at Home: Nightmare On 13th is the Nation’s #1 Haunted Attraction in Salt Lake City, Utah

I love Halloween because of the unexpected and bizarre, because it is treacherous and risky, and because at no...

Our Family Experience at Timpanogos Storytelling Festival, Lehi, Utah
Catherine - 0
It was a bit chilly, as nights often get living in the desert valley enveloped by dignified mountains; the same kind of chill you often get when anticipating something extraordinary. The kind that even makes you shake a little bit from excitement. But..., by the time the crowd yelled in unison: "Are you Roger Moore?" we were fully warmed...

Narcoossee’s: A Family Restaurant Review at Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida
Catherine - 0
We celebrated our 11th Wedding Anniversary at Walt Disney World, and for our Anniversary Dinner we took the monorail to the luxurious Grand Floridian and indulged at Narcoossee's. This fine establishment requires a specific dress code and requires two Disney dining plan credits to cover the cost. It was well worth it.

Moab Giants is a Dinosaur Museum in Utah, and it is a big deal. Like, both literally and figuratively. You can see the literal giant dinosaurs from the highway every time you drive through the town of Moab on your way to Arches National Park. They look real, and they look incredible. Figuratively, they look like they are going...
This tiny little Mexican food truck, parked in a rock covered patio has quite a reputation in Moab, Utah.

Though the final product resembles more of a burrito when it comes down to it, these quesadilla’s are mouth watering. Literally. They’re...

Before it was Ruined: A Family Restaurant Review of Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida
Catherine - 0
When Walt Disney World opened up the new Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom, complete with the Beast’s castle at the top of a hill overlooking Belle’s quaint village below, they ingeniously included Gaston’s Tavern. A manly establishment fitted with huge leather chairs, bear skins and deer heads covering the walls, and meats on the menu. It is the epitome of...

Whirlwind Family Day Trip to NYC to Say Goodbye to FAO Schwarz and the Big Piano, Manhattan, New York
Catherine - 4
When we got wind that FAO Schwarz was closing its flagship store overlooking 5th Avenue in New York City, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to take our children to play on the oversized piano keys overlooking Manhattan. There is nothing quite so iconic as playing without limits in the ultimate toy store in the largest city in...
