Journey of a Lifetime

We left Rexburg and stopped off in Twin Falls Idaho to see the Shoshone Waterfalls and the temple there. It was really beautiful. We then went to Boise to have some lunch at Gyro Shack. It was really good and full of flavor. While trying to get back to the highway to continue to Washington … Read more
Yellowstone National Park Skylar and I were both extremely excited to visit Yellowstone National Park while in Wyoming. This was our first visit for both of us and the park is so big we could’ve stayed a whole week! (Though all the campgrounds were full everywhere so this would not have been possible.) The sights … Read more
Indiana As we drove from the Cleveland area to Chicago, we cut across the northeast stretch of Indiana. We had been rushing to get to Chicago because we had tickets for the afternoon Cubs game at Wrigley field, but we were gifted with an extra hour as we shifted into the Central Time Zone. We … Read more
Urgent Care in Cleveland Monday morning we woke up and got ready for a long day at Cedar Point (the roller coaster capital of the world). Unfortunately Skylar’s stomach was upsetting him quite a bit, which kept him running to the bathroom. Something definitely seemed wrong — this was the second day that Skylar’s stomach … Read more

Joseph was unsure of which church to join in 1820 and read in the scriptures (James 1:5) that “if any of you … Read more
Just like in any big city, parking in Boston is outrageous so after a failed attempt to find something reasonable, we drove north a little to the Alewife T station and parked our car. We purchased day passes for the T (Boston’s metro) so we could ride unlimited throughout town. Freedom Trail Boston is incredibly … Read more
Providence After a very nice 3-night stay with the Rowley’s in Connecticut, we continued up North. It was actually hard to leave because the Rowley’s have a VERY comfortable guest bed and were very hospitable. Thank you Brad and Natalia!! We stopped in Providence for some dessert. We found a charming French restaurant called Loie Fuller’s … Read more
Jackson, NJ Six Flags Great Adventure This was the biggest Six Flags I’ve been to. Its crown jewel is Kingda Ka — currently the tallest roller coaster in the world at 456′ and max speed of 128 mph. When we arrived we immediately found the line for Kingda Ka. The ride had been closed all … Read more
Six Flags America We spent our first day in the area at Six Flags America. The colonial themed park in Maryland had some fun roller coasters: Apocalypse (standup), Batwing (lying down on your back, flips you over to your stomach throughout the ride), Mind Eraser, Superman (virtual headset optional – superman is saving you from … Read more
