This will be the last of my posts on our trip to Bryce (although I may or may not include some more pictures in tomorrow’s Tell-All. We shall see.) Day Two: No matter how I sit or lie down, my skin burns and itches; the most comfortable position is generally on my back (since …
Tips on Visiting Bryce in the Spring
With its high elevation and with the heavy snowfall Utah has received this year, I had several people ask me why on earth we chose to go to Bryce Canyon in the middle of March, a month that’s infamous for being completely unpredictable. Now that I’ve actually been, I think there are definitely a couple of …
Bryce Canyon: A Photo & Word Journal, Day One
Day One: We are in the Mazda, speeding our way along the road that will shortly lead us right to the mouth of Bryce Canyon, a local (and national) jewel that I had never taken the chance to go see. My feet are wedged awkwardly next to our bulging bag of chips, Easter candy, and …

On the Road Home
Well, after three days spent in the sun and splendor of Bryce Canyon, we’re on our way back home to life as we know it in Logan. We did get some pretty stellar pictures though, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it–but for now, you’ll just have to content yourself with a …
A Soup That Looks Like Spring – Creamy Broccoli Chowder
With the onslaught of March, I have found myself positively clinging to all things spring (me and the rest of the world, it seems). Considering how long and dismal this winter has been, it’s totally understandable (although Matt reminded me the other day that people complain every winter and that this winter is hardly different …
