We had a different type of trip this year. Without my brother and his family joining us, it was just the four Keenes and my parents. The kids said they were actually looking forward to the “quieter week” and we sure made the most of it. We also decided to take Maverick again after muchContinue reading “Banks Lake 2020”

Spirit Lake Trip
We couldn’t book two separate weeks at Banks Lake this year, and my family really wanted to keep our annual tradition alive, so we booked one week at Seddlmeyer’s RV Resort on Spirit Lake and invited our friends the Drews and Jim’s parents to come along. All good decisions! The biggest disappointment by far wasContinue reading “Spirit Lake Trip”
Arizona Trip
I had to go to Phoenix for a work trip for a few days, so I invited Jim along. We had such a fun time in the hot sunshine! We landed on Wednesday and immediately went to hike Camelback, which we did a whopping 20 years ago together. We didn’t finish the hike… it wasContinue reading “Arizona Trip”
Spirit Lake 2019
Yet another fabulous Labor Day Weekend spent in the sunshine at my aunt and uncle’s cabin on Spirit Lake! What was special about this year is that the cabin wasn’t empty… my aunt and uncle were there, as well as my cousin and her two kids. We had so much fun hanging out with them!Continue reading “Spirit Lake 2019”
Banks Lake 2019 Trip 2
We have such a great time on this annual tradition of camping with family. (We spent part of the week arguing about how many times we’d all been there… just kidding.) This year, due to booking circumstances, both sides of the crew were there together. We tried to explain to our kids just how specialContinue reading “Banks Lake 2019 Trip 2”
Lincoln Rock 2019
We just love getting away for the weekend in our camper! I made reservations for Lincoln Rock State Park months ago and the kids were excited to visit there for the first time. Can you see the profile of my favorite president on the cliff face? We also got to install Jim’s birthday gift fromContinue reading “Lincoln Rock 2019”
Utah Ski Trip 2019
I’m just going to go ahead and add the year to the title of this post because we are so sure that we are going back. 🙂 Over the years, Jim and I have done a ski weekend away for President’s Day. Two years ago we took the kids to Mission Ridge and started theirContinue reading “Utah Ski Trip 2019”
A Conference in San Diego
This trip was for Jim’s work! Jim attends an annual conference that was in San Diego this year, and a lot of the wives go along on this trip. He asked me maybe a year ago if I would join him on this one, and of course I said yes. It was five whole daysContinue reading “A Conference in San Diego”
Weekend in Lake Chelan
We realized at the beginning of October that we were on a streak: we’d planned a camping trip every single month of 2018 – except November. So we quickly took a look around and decided to book two nights at Lake Chelan’s city park for Veteran’s Day Weekend. It was such a fun trip! WeContinue reading “Weekend in Lake Chelan”
Pacific Beach
I have always wanted to do a fall trip to the coast, and with our camper we now have the chance to do that. So we scheduled a weekend at Pacific Beach with our friends the Bonnells, and we had the best time!
