My mom turned 70 this year (hope she doesn’t mind me sharing her age). To celebrate her milestone birthday, she wanted to go to Disneyland with all her kids and grandkids. So several months ago we began putting our Disneyland vacation plans together. There are many Good Neighbor Hotels to choose from, but one I’d…
You’ve likely wandered through your run-of-the-mill grocery store to buy bread, milk or even eggs. But have you ever picked up a can of dehydrated water, or seen a can of peanuts touted as nut-free?

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois, is absolutely amazing. But don’t miss the opportunity to explore the home of Abraham Lincoln during his adult life – and I’m not talking about the White House. 😉…
Growing up in Utah, we often studied the ceremonial completion of the transcontinental railroad. That event took place on May 10, 1869, at Promontory Summit in northern Utah as the 119 and the Jupiter met and a golden railroad spike was placed to mark completion. Today, visitors come from all over to Golden Spike National…
