We researched our next Spring Break vacation until we found the perfect spot in Villa Gordon. Hidden away between Sosua and Cabarete was a little community of 10+ homes, a hotel, and an amazing restaurant all behind a guarded gate. This beach house was perfect for our extended family of 11 to visit and hang […]
Okay, back to our RV Trip! We had a loooong day driving from the bottom of Wyoming to the tip top to stop at Jackson Hole for lunch and continue into Yellowstone for dinner. I already posted about beautiful Bear Lake and our drive so here we are at the town square of Jackson Hole. […]
I’m trying to spread out my travelblog as much as I can because we took so many pictures! However, here are the last three posts – Grand Canyon trip – Rafting in Page, AZ – Zion National Park visit It took a solid two days of driving to reach Yellowstone so for the first day […]
It took us a little over two hours to reach Ponderosa Ranch near Zion National Park. It was a beautiful drive and Sharon sat up with Justin while they examined all the beautiful canyons and quaint towns. The towns were really adorable! Truck and I read books. GG played on his iPad and Sam just […]
After we finished touring the Grand Canyon (if you missed it, that post is here) we woke up, packed up, and headed out towards Page, Arizona for our rafting trip at 1PM. The road followed the end (beginning??) of the Grand Canyon and we came up to the Watchtower so of course, we had to […]
What an amazing start to our road trip! We packed up the RV and headed out. The RV is really nice. There are some hiccups, as there usually are, but it’s a really nice vehicle compared to the last one we rented. In great condition, it doesn’t redline when we go up the hills, and […]

Friday was our trip to the Wild Animal Park which was AMAZING. I was excited to see the animals but I thought it would be a little lame. I’m not a fan of our San Diego Animal park (too hot, too brown, too much walking) but I LOVED this park! It helps when the weather […]

Thursday was Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Yes, just about the same thing as California Adventure here in Anaheim! Still, Griffin has not been on Star Tours yet so we decided to skip the whole Disney World thing and do Hollywood Studios. We booked it over to Star Tours and got distracted by the sign that said […]

Wednesday was the deeeeee-lightful day of doing nothing! Kids woke up around 7:30am and I got them quietly dressed while everyone slept and we went right outside to the playground and then the pool. The rest of the crew woke up around 9 and straggled out. We had lunch at the pool. Kids made friends […]
The next morning was Islands of Adventure! Seriously my favorite park ever, waiting in line is an experience. They got so many little details right on all of their worlds. We made sure to leave the house at 7am (4am PST time – ouch!) and arrived at the gates at 750 to wait for the park […]
