Lots of Pickleball Games

After learning about pickleball late last year and only playing a couple of games, we challenged ourselves to play as much as possible this year, and so far, it’s been a good year. Most of our games are just us playing, as we tend to go later in the day/night when it fits our schedule.… Read More Lots of Pickleball Games

We did some Uber trips tonight, and Cas delivered to an address where it said to meet at the door. The customer explained he likes to tip the drivers directly at the door.

Volunteering at Hoopfest

This weekend, we spent time volunteering at Spokane’s Hoopfest, the largest 3×3 basketball game in the world. It was a lot of fun and a great new location: the Pavillion in Riverside Park, where we sold the event’s merchandise. This year, both of us mainly worked on keeping items stocked on the floor and moving… Read More Volunteering at Hoopfest

Really makes you think

Exploring Zion was an enthralling experience, pondering the ancient rocks beneath our feet, dating back millions of years, juxtaposed against our own fleeting existence as humans.

We woke at 6:30 am and enjoyed our final breakfast in the park. We packed up and hit the road by 9:00. When we hit the Salt Lake City area, we searched out In and Out and enjoyed two double-doubles, fries, and strawberry lemonade. We finally pulled up to the house at around 1:30 a.m.,… Read More Day 7: heading home

Day 6: Exploring East Zion

Today, we headed through the tunnel back to the park’s East side, but not without a long traffic line joining us. Once on the other side, we pulled over to explore a spot we hadn’t had a chance to visit before. As we started to hike around, we found beautiful rock formations created over the… Read More Day 6: Exploring East Zion

Day 5: bike ride in the rain

After a good night’s sleep and the sound of rain, we had breakfast and discussed plans for the day. Since it would rain all day, we rode the trails to the Temple of Sinawava again. It was fun to ride in the rain and enjoy being out in nature with a lot fewer people around.… Read More Day 5: bike ride in the rain

Day 4: Hiking Checkerboard Mesa (part 2)

On our way back to camp, we stopped to revisit and explore a spot we had done years before. We hiked much further back into the canyon this time and had the perfect light for photos. We wanted to continue looking around but were losing the sun, so we headed back for dinner.

We were up and moving by 9:30 a.m., enjoyed breakfast with tea and coffee, and then headed off to today’s adventure: hiking to Observation Point. While at Phil’s, we discovered a few other hikes that would get us to one of our favorite Zion spots. We drove around to the backside and followed a trail… Read More Day 4: Observation Point (part 1)

Day 2 & 3: Kolob Canyon

After sleeping in and having breakfast, we headed out of the park to visit family in Washington, Utah. Sharon and Phil were thrilled to have us for the night, and shortly after we arrived, we were off to explore their town. We stopped by a local Botanical Garden, hiked Snow Canyon, and checked out Tuacahn… Read More Day 2 & 3: Kolob Canyon
