Good morning! Somehow it’s already Friday, and our last full day at the beach. Hard to believe we checked in way last Saturday?! Tomorrow (Saturday) we check out and start the drive home. We’ll stop somewhere overnight and be home on Sunday. It’s been a great week!! Thankfully, the only rain drops we’ve seen all… Continue reading Beach Report #3: Tuesday to Thursday
Hello! Left off on our first full day here, Sunday, and now it’s Tuesday morning. Sunday the weather did end up clearing, fortunately, though the ocean was churned up and we had a double red flag (ocean closed to swimming). Picking up where I left off: Sunday afternoon tea/relaxing on the balcony: Then a bunch… Continue reading Beach Report #2
We made it to the beach! Our family’s “recurring” destination (though not always every single year), Panama City Beach, Florida. We drove, per our usual tradition, even though it’s far from Wisconsin- about 16 hours plus stops! We left home Friday morning about 10 am. My sister, her family and my parents had headed out… Continue reading Dispatch from the beach 🙂
Yay yay yay, I’m so happy right now!! 😍 I’m sitting at the airport in Fort Lauderdale waiting to board my flight home after the BEST weekend! I didn’t share about this ahead of time really, but I snuck away early Saturday morning for a long weekend to see Sarah. As many of who know… Continue reading My Florida visit to see SHU!
Sunday, June 28, 2026 Well, we got home a few days ago and it's been the usual chaos 🤪, so sorry for delay in my final post. (I am sure you all needed a break from me in your feed, anyway.) Our flight home Sunday night was LATE. Like, 11:45 p.m. late! Ugh. For whatever… Continue reading Zion/ Vegas Trip Day 10: Hoover Dam, Pinball Hall of Fame and HOME
Saturday, June 27, 2026 Okay, for anyone following along in real time, we’re almost done! Saturday was technically our last full day, though we had a very late (11:45 pm 🥴) flight on Sunday night, so Sunday was basically another full day, too. But Saturday was our last full day at our Vegas hotel. Started… Continue reading Zion/Vegas Trip Day 9: final Strip exploration, Portugal, Ká show, High Roller
Friday, June 26, 2026 *Note: Started this post on Saturday morning but didn’t finish it, so any mention of “yesterday” means Friday!* I think I mentioned original plan was Hoover Dam for yesterday, but as I sat drinking my tea and considering the day ahead, I realized it made more sense to do Hoover Dam… Continue reading Zion/Vegas Trip Day 8: Mexican brunch, Caesar’s, casino, Fremont Street!
Thursday, June 25, 2026 Yesterday, after our pretty late night out on the town the night before, I was feeling lazy! We ended up lounging by the pool for a long time. It was honestly so nice. Hot but not like HOT in the morning yet. RELAXING! Finally dragged myself up to shower and get… Continue reading Zion/Vegas Trip Day 7: relaxing, more exploring, introducing Asher to gambling 🤪, and USA game
Wednesday, June 24, 2026 Yesterday was a long and very good day! I’m being lazy this morning (more on why later) and it’s getting late now, so I need to (try) to be brief here today. Relaxing morning at the hotel! An odd morning with some spitting RAIN!! What?! The cooler temps briefly felt good.… Continue reading Zion/Vegas Trip Day 6: Vegas strip, Wizard of Oz at Sphere!!, Mexico, donating a little to the casino 😉
Tuesday, June 23, 2026 Tuesday was sadly our check out day from Zion. Thankfully though we didn’t have a big hurry in the morning. The big event for yesterday was a UTV tour in Sand Hollows State Park, en route back to Vegas (about 45 minutes southwest of Zion). I had intentionally planned for a… Continue reading Zion/Vegas Trip Day 5: Sand Hollows, UTV’ing! and return to Las Vegas
GRATEFUL KAE
