Exploring the Grand Canyon

Over the last two days, we explored the South Rim of the Grand Canyon from end to end and experienced some of the most incredible views we’ve ever seen! On our first day, we rode bikes all the way out to Hermit’s Rest a 30 mile trip, taking in overlook after overlook along the rim.… Read More Exploring the Grand Canyon

Have a Bryce Day

We set out this afternoon with plans to hike Inspiration Point, but as often happens on road trips, one unexpected stop changed everything. Along the way, we spotted a sign for Bryce Point and decided to make a quick detour to see what it was all about. That “quick stop” turned into one of our… Read More Have a Bryce Day

Around Bryce Canyon

After sleeping in as long as we could, we eased into the day and finished setting up our campsite, which would be home for the next two nights. With no rush to be anywhere, we enjoyed a relaxing brunch of fresh grilled potatoes and chicken before heading out to explore. Once brunch was finished, we… Read More Around Bryce Canyon

Travel Day for the Grand Canyon Tour

There’s something about the start of a road trip that always feels the same for us — late nights, early mornings, and the excitement of finally getting underway. Like usual, we didn’t get to bed until around midnight. After just a few hours of sleep, we were back up, grabbing a light breakfast, packing the… Read More Travel Day for the Grand Canyon Tour

101 Dalmatians

Disney has been a part of my life since before I was born. My Mom would tell me the story that while she was pregnant with me, Walt Disney had died, and Mom cried because I would never be able to meet this great man. Growing up, I had a Mickey Mouse crib. Dad took… Read More 101 Dalmatians

Time to share

#blog/stories After spending the last year getting our site cleaned up, stories wriiten and pictures posted, it was time to advertise it to our Friends and Family.

Revisiting The Book by Desi Arnaz

I’ve read the original edition three times — and each time I’ve walked away with something new. His voice feels so alive on the page: candid, witty, reflective, and surprisingly vulnerable. Desi wasn’t just the charismatic bandleader and Ricky Ricardo on I Love Lucy — he was a visionary producer, an immigrant success story, and… Read More Revisiting The Book by Desi Arnaz

Our time with The Lion King Rafiki Tour

Back in November, we got an email asking if we were interested in working the merchandise booth for The Lion King when it arrives in Spokane. We, of course, signed up, and over the holiday, we had a Zoom call with Disney, where we were told they would love to have us. At the end… Read More Our time with The Lion King Rafiki Tour

Marine World

When I was a little kid, I remember going to Marine World Africa USA in Redwood City, so when it moved to Vallejo in 1986, I was excited to visit it. I ended up doing more than just visiting; I worked there starting in 1989, and it was where I developed many managerial skills and… Read More Marine World
