    Wicked Peel | 40 Slices of Pizza: Slice #2

    Chris turned 40 at the end of 2025, and I wanted to do something special without throwing a big party that he wouldn’t appreciate. So I gave him what I knew he’d appreciate the most: 40 slices of pizza!

    Our second stop was: Wicked Peel Pizza
    3956 Innovation Dr, Riverton, UT 84065

    Wicked Peel is admittedly already our #1 favorite pizza in Utah, but I made sure to include it in the 40 slices. They did not disappoint!

    We always get their Cheese Bread Sticks to start, they are SOOO GOOOOD! We bounce between a few of our favorites. On this trip Chris got the Buffalo chicken pizza, and I got the Detroit-style pepperoni. Detroit-style by default comes with the spicy pepperoni “cups” but I always ask for normal pepperoni instead.

    It is rare to have a less than spectacular experience at Wicked Peel, and believe me, we’ve been there often enough to know! The decor is New York, the owners are great people, and the wait staff is friendly. Of all food establishments I’ve ever been a “regular” at, Wicked Peel is by far the most consistent in consistently providing top-notch food.

    It always bugs me that Chris expects me to share my Detroit-style with him, especially because I don’t think he enjoys it as much as he should. He gave the Detroit-style slice I gave him an unfair score in my opinion, but I will admit I did give him the slice that looked the least delicious. He always wolfs down his pizza because it does not travel or reheat well. But the Detroit-style still tastes pretty good when reheating later, so I don’t like to share it! I want the leftovers!

    Chris’s other favorite is the Brooklyn, and my other favorite is the Wicked Vodka. Give it a try!

  • Wishing a Season Away

    Daily writing prompt
    How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?
    View all responses

    It’s easy to treat certain seasons of life like something to survive rather than experience. Winter, for example. You tell yourself you’ll just mentally check out – complain about the snow, wait for warmer days, and count down until you can leave the house in flip flops again.

    But time has a funny way of taking notes.

    One day winter ends, and not just on the calendar. The kids are a little taller. Your face has collected a few new “expression lines.” And somehow an entire season slipped by while you were busy waiting for it to be over.

    The passage of time doesn’t pause just because a season feels inconvenient or cold or mildly offensive. Life keeps happening in the background: on snow days, in routines, during moments you plan to fully appreciate later.

    Perspective might come from realizing that even the seasons we don’t love still count. And that staying present may be the only way to stop time from sprinting past while you’re looking ahead to spring.

  • Joshua Tree Basics

    Joshua Tree Basics

    We traveled with our travel trailer, which always adds an extra layer of planning, especially in remote, desert areas like Joshua Tree. We made sure to map out DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) stops ahead of time, and made sure to travel with an empty fresh water tank to reduce weight and strain. Joshua Tree was a bit of a last minute addition to our trip, but it was memorable.

    Things to Know:

    Joshua Tree is HOT, with little to zero shade.

    Like way hot. Temperatures vary widely throughout the year, but this is very much a desert climate. Winter days can be pleasant, often in the 50s–60s, while spring and fall warm up quickly. Summer is a whole ‘nother story. Average highs from June through September often sit in the mid-90s to low 100s, and September, when we visited, was no exception. During our stay, daytime temperatures hovered around 104°F, with little to zero shade to escape it.

    Bring more water than you think you’ll need.

    Similar to our experience at the Grand Canyon, there were signs everywhere warning us of the dangers of not being prepared for the heat. Park rangers shared stories of visitors who underestimated the conditions, heading out on what they thought would be a short, easy hike and never making it back. We made sure we had enough water, and since we didn’t want to overdo it before the rest of our trip, we didn’t do any big hikes anyway.

    Rest during the hottest part of the day.

    Though we stayed two nights, we only had one full day of adventuring, and we ended up having a siesta. We did some early morning exploring, then laid low in our air-conditioned trailer during lunch and then continued exploring again in the late afternoon before dinner.

    Cell service can be spotty or nonexistent.

    Download offline maps before you head out, and make sure people know where you are and when to expect you back.

    Where We Stayed:

    Joshua Tree RV & Campground | 6225 Sunburst St, Joshua Tree, CA 92252

    Our stop at this park was a last minute detour, so we were very grateful that this campground had availability for us on such short notice. It is minutes away from the Visitors Center and local shops. We had full hookups, the bathrooms were clean, it was very conveniently located, and the check in/check out process was seamless, quick, and easy.

    Where We Ate:

    When we travel with our trailer, we usually eat breakfast and lunch from food we’ve packed and then eat out for dinner about half the time. For both nights we were in Joshua Tree, we opted to eat at local restaurants.

    Sky High Pie | 61740 29 Palms Hwy, Joshua Tree, CA 92252

    Of course we ate at a pizza place. This restaurant had a really nice vibe. Cool, artsy, and very Joshua Tree. We ordered the five-cheese pizza and cheese bread, and while everything was clearly made with high-quality ingredients, the pizza itself was a little too artsy for our taste. Portions felt small for the price, and it leaned more toward gourmet than comforting. It was good, just not quite our style. That said, if you love creative pizzas and don’t mind paying a bit more, it’s worth checking out.

    Joshua Tree Saloon | 61835 29 Palms Hwy, Joshua Tree, CA 92252

    This place was a fun experience and a great stop after our day in the park. The food falls somewhere between good and great, but the service and atmosphere really shine.

    I originally wanted a bleu cheese burger but didn’t want a massive half-pound patty. Our server suggested the JT burger (a quarter-pound) and swapping the Thousand Island dressing for bleu cheese instead, which I really appreciated. The bleu cheese dressing itself wasn’t especially impressive, but the burger was solid overall.

    The real standout, though, was the sides. The onion rings were amazing, and my husband’s sweet potato fries were also excellent. We were more impressed with the sides than the burgers! That said, both the onion rings and sweet potato fries came with a $7 upcharge, and the portions were pretty small for the price.

    We loved the decor, the music selection was fantastic, and the overall vibe made it a memorable stop. It’s a great place to unwind after a hot day at Joshua Tree.

    Up Next

    Joshua Tree was all about experiencing as much of the park as possible while also not dehydrating or overdoing it. In the next post, I’ll share the actual stops we made within Joshua Tree National Park, and I’ll share which stops are worth visiting and which can be skipped. Sometimes knowing what not to do is just as helpful as knowing what to prioritize.

  • MOZZ Sourdough Pizza | 40 Slices of Pizza: Slice #1

    MOZZ Sourdough Pizza | 40 Slices of Pizza: Slice #1

    Chris turned 40 at the end of 2025, and I wanted to do something special without throwing a big party that he wouldn’t appreciate. So I gave him what I knew he’d appreciate the most: PIZZA!

    Specifically 40 slices of pizza! To be enjoyed throughout 2026. I cut out and laminated 40 pizza images and assigned a different pizza joint within driving distance to each and put it on a keyring.

    As much as Chris loved the idea of visiting all 40 places in one go, we are only visiting one per week.

    Our first stop was: MOZZ Sourdough Pizza
    416 E 900 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84111

    We got cheese bread to start and we also tried the cheese and the pepperoni pizza. We paid $2 for two sides of ranch. The ranch was good but very strong on the dill. The cheese bread had garlic chunks in it. That’s not ever a pleasant thing to bite into, I’m pretty sure it’ll take a dental cleaning to get rid of the garlic taste in my mouth. Despite that, the cheese bread was really good! The pepperoni was too spicy for me, but both pizzas were really good and used high quality ingredients. The crust was very light and delicious.

    Garlic Cheese Bread
    Cheese pizza
    Pepperoni pizza

    The atmosphere and service is very friendly. The decor is fun- they told us to check out the bathrooms, and they are definitely unique! They don’t have normal soda, other than Diet Coke for some reason. It is very difficult to find parking, at least it was when we went, so keep that in mind. It was kid-friendly; they offered a kids book club with coloring books.

    Chris rated the pizza a 7.4.

  • One Iconic Utah Spot I Can’t Believe I Haven’t Visited

    Daily writing prompt
    Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.
    View all responses

    For someone who loves exploring, there’s one iconic attraction surprisingly close to home that I still haven’t checked off my list: Spiral Jetty.

    Spiral Jetty is a massive earthwork sculpture located on the northeastern shore of the Great Salt Lake. It was created in 1970 by artist Robert Smithson, who used more than 6,000 tons of black basalt rock and earth to form a 1,500-foot spiral that curls out into the water. It’s one of the most famous examples of land art in the world, and yet somehow, despite living somewhat close, I’ve never made the trip.

    Part of what makes Spiral Jetty so fascinating is how much it changes over time. Depending on the lake’s water levels, the spiral is sometimes fully submerged and sometimes completely exposed. When visible, the surrounding water often turns pink or red due to salt-loving microorganisms, creating a surreal, otherworldly scene that feels more like another planet than northern Utah.

    Getting there from Salt Lake City takes about two hours by car. The route heads north toward Corinne, then onto gravel roads for the final stretch. It’s very much a “middle of nowhere” destination. I’ve been told there’s no visitor center, no amenities, and spotty cell service. So don’t expect to be able to grab dinner while you are visiting, and make sure to stop in Corinne for a bathroom break ahead of time!

    So why go? Spiral Jetty isn’t about thrill rides or scenic overlooks. It’s about stillness, scale, and the relationship between humans and the landscape. It’s the kind of place you visit slowly, walk quietly, and let the vastness of the Great Salt Lake sink in.

    The best time to see Spiral Jetty is late summer through early fall, when lake levels are typically lower and the spiral is more likely to be fully visible. Sunrise and sunset are especially popular for the lighting – and the solitude.

    If you can make it work, I hear seeing Spiral Jetty from above offers a completely different perspective, and from that vantage point, water levels don’t matter as much. I have a friend who got engaged on a private flight over it, and it’s a great story.

    It’s been on my Utah bucket list for years. I’ll let you know when I finally make it there. If you’ve already been, I’d love to hear what you thought about it!

  • Chasing the Half Dome through Four National Parks

    Chasing the Half Dome through Four National Parks

    Fast forward from the moment I first learned about the existence of Half Dome in late 2018 to actually embarking on the journey in September 2023. In a later post, I’ll dive into how I secured the permits and how I trained for the hike itself, but this part of the story starts with the road trip.

    Taking a trip to a National Park isn’t as simple for us as hopping in the car and driving a few hours. When we travel, we like to make it count. That usually means packing in multiple parks, covering as much ground as possible, and seeing every corner we reasonably can.

    A happy accident shaped this particular itinerary. Back in 2020, we had planned a trip to Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite National Parks, but all of our Yosemite campsite reservations were canceled due to Covid. At the time, that trip didn’t include the Half Dome. I still believed it was far beyond my capabilities, and we also had a six-month-old baby who would have been coming along. Half Dome simply wasn’t on the table.

    By the time 2023 rolled around and I actually had Half Dome permits in hand, much of our original 2020 research suddenly became useful again. The bones of the trip were already there, we just needed to build around them.

    And of course, we couldn’t resist adding one more park. Why not make it four?

    We originally planned to kick things off at Death Valley National Park. Everything was booked, planned, and ready to go, until a few weeks before our departure, when our campsite reservations were abruptly canceled. Not because of Covid this time, but because Death Valley was experiencing severe flooding from Hurricane Hillary. I was just as shocked to hear it as you probably are reading this. A couple of inches of rain may not sound like much, but in that climate, apparently it’s enough to cause absolute havoc.

    Determined not to lose the opportunity to add a fourth National Park, we rerouted and started our trip at Joshua Tree National Park instead. I had driven past Joshua Tree years earlier on a different road trip, and it had never really been high on my list. But we were pleasantly surprised to find out just how lovely the park is! What started as a backup plan turned into a highlight.

    Joshua Tree wasn’t the main event of our trip, but it turned out to be a solid and worthwhile starting point. It offered a unique landscape, some great photo ops, and a chance to ease into road-trip mode before the bigger parks ahead. In the next post, I’ll share what we did in Joshua Tree and why it’s well worth a stop if you find yourself in the area.

  • 10 Reasons to Travel Internationally

    Did you make yourself a New Year’s Resolution this year? I joked with someone recently about how January is the time of year we all become better people temporarily. But jokes aside, I think setting goals and personal development is really important.

    If international travel was not on your list for 2026, think about adding it! Not because it sounds impressive or glamorous, but because stepping outside your own country has a quiet way of changing you for the better.

    Here are 10 reasons why anyone can benefit from international travel, and why it deserves a spot on your New Year’s resolutions.

    1. It Expands Your Perspective on Life

    Seeing how people live in other parts of the world reshapes how you view your own life. What once felt essential may suddenly feel optional, and what felt small may gain new meaning. Travel reminds you that there are countless “normal” ways to live, and yours is just one of them.

    2. It Helps You Appreciate Your Own Blessings

    Nothing sharpens gratitude like contrast. Whether it’s access to clean water, personal safety, healthcare, or even simple conveniences, travel often brings a deeper appreciation for what you already have.

    3. It Breaks You Out of Autopilot

    Daily routines have a way of numbing us. Traveling internationally forces you to pay attention again; to new languages, currencies, customs, and rhythms. You become present in a way that everyday life rarely requires.

    4. It Builds Confidence in Unexpected Ways

    Navigating foreign airports, menus you can’t read, or transportation systems you don’t understand proves something important: you are more capable than you think. That confidence doesn’t stay abroad; it comes home with you.

    5. It Makes You More Patient and Adaptable

    Plans change. Trains run late. Things get lost in translation. International travel teaches flexibility and patience in real time. These skills can quietly improve how you handle stress back home – I’ll let you know once I’ve discovered exactly how much international travel it takes before I’m not always a stress case!

    6. It Deepens Cultural Understanding

    Reading about other cultures isn’t the same as experiencing them. Sharing space with people whose traditions, values, and histories differ from yours builds empathy and softens the sharp edges of “us vs. them” thinking.

    7. It Strengthens Relationships

    Whether you travel solo, with a partner, or as a family, shared international experiences tend to bond people deeply. You solve problems together, celebrate small wins together, and create memories that feel richer because they were earned.

    8. It Encourages Simplicity

    Travel often strips life down to essentials: a few outfits, a plan for the day, and curiosity. That simplicity can be refreshing, and may inspire you to declutter not just your suitcase, but your life.

    9. It Reignites Curiosity

    International travel wakes up the part of you that asks questions. Why is this food prepared this way? Why is this city designed like this? Curiosity keeps life interesting, and travel feeds it generously.

    10. It Gives You Something to Look Forward To

    Sometimes the benefit isn’t just the trip, it’s the planning. Researching destinations, learning about history, imagining yourself somewhere new gives the year momentum. It turns “someday” into a date on the calendar.

    A Resolution That Lasts Beyond January

    If this is the year you travel more, you may find that the world feels both bigger and more connected, and that your place in it feels a little more grounded than before. At the end of the day, international travel isn’t about escaping life, it’s about returning to it with clearer eyes.

  • Summit Only: A Luxury Exit Strategy for Tired (and wealthy) Hikers

    Daily writing prompt
    Come up with a crazy business idea.
    View all responses

    Here’s a crazy business idea that I can’t take credit for as this one belongs entirely to Chris. What makes it crazy is how outrageously expensive it would have to be to work.

    The idea was born on a long, punishing hike from the top of Ben Lomond via the North Ogden Divide. If you know, you know. It’s a 15+ mile beast of a hike: steep, relentless, and an excellent training climb. On a good day, it’s also stunning, especially when the wildflowers are out and the inversion is in your favor.

    But the cruel twist is that for the last four or five miles, you can see your car. You can clearly see the parking lot right there, mocking you.

    When you are bone tired and your legs and feet are sick of being upright, seeing your car is…. disheartening.

    That’s where Chris’s idea comes in.

    What if hikers who love earning the summit… didn’t have to hike back down?

    You make it to the top, soak in the victory, snap the photos, and then you call for extraction. A drone delivers a mountain bike so you can coast back down. Maybe, if we’re really leaning into the insanity, a helicopter swoops in and flies you back to the trailhead like the rugged-but-wealthy adventurer you clearly are.

    Is it practical? Not really, at least not in Ogden, Utah.
    Is it affordable? Absolutely not.
    Would it work somewhere more touristy, with visitors who have money and limited time but still want bragging rights? Maybe?

    Summit-earned luxury transport: for hikers who want the climb, not the limp back to the car.

    Crazy? Yes.
    Ridiculous? Definitely.
    But after mile 12, staring at my car from a distance, I can’t say I wouldn’t consider it!

  • Angel’s Landing to the Half Dome

    Angel’s Landing to the Half Dome

    I’ve always enjoyed hiking, but I didn’t really get into it until my early twenties. Even then, the people I was hiking with made me feel like I wasn’t capable of hard things, and that I wasn’t worth the effort to build up to those hard things. That slowly started to change when I began dating Chris.

    We hiked a lot together, and somewhere along the way, I stopped assuming I was too weak to do hard things. There was one hike I never even allowed myself to consider: Angel’s Landing in Zion National Park. I had always heard it was just too hard.

    But the more I hiked, the more I felt like I really wanted to see the top of Angel’s Landing. It seemed like every time I noticed an impressive landscape photo, sure enough it was Angel’s Landing.

    Now fast forward to a few years of marriage. In my last series about Peru, you heard that our trip to Machu Picchu was how I talked Chris into starting a family. But for myself, I had a short list of things I wanted to do before having kids:

    • Complete a triathlon
    • Visit Italy
    • Hike Angel’s Landing

    In late summer of 2018, I checked one off the list and completed a triathlon. We already had plans to travel to Italy in 2019. That left Angel’s Landing—my final pre-baby goal.

    I wanted perfect conditions. No ice, no snow, no lightning risk, no turning around halfway because the mountain decided today wasn’t the day. I watched the weather closely and spotted a promising weekend in October 2018. This was before permits were required, so we scrambled to line up dog sitters, booked the closest hotel we could find, and headed to Zion.

    It was definitely hard, but I wouldn’t say it was harder than I expected it to be. Walter’s Wiggles are no joke – they are the 21 steep switchbacks toward the beginning of the hike. What worried Chris were the cables. I’m clutzy, and he did not want to witness me tumbling off the edge of a cliff. That concern was actually part of why I wanted to do this before having kids. If I were to die on a mountain, I’d prefer not to leave behind any orphans.

    Then there’s the saddle. Sheer drop-offs on both sides. I don’t think you ever truly know whether you’re afraid of heights until you’re standing somewhere that makes the consequences very clear. Turns out heights don’t faze me as much as I imagined they would. I definitely noticed the drop, it’s hard not to! But I didn’t freeze or panic.

    Pulling myself up the cables was one of the hardest physical things I had ever done to that point. On the way down, there was a moment where Chris had to give me a boost up a huge rock because my body was like in shock mode or something and couldn’t figure out how to get over it by myself. But it was everything I wanted it to be. Reaching the top felt incredible.

    The view was stunning. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming. My only regret is that I wasn’t there when the shadows weren’t cutting across the summit. Maybe I’ll catch the sunrise or sunset someday. But we had started early on purpose, hoping to beat the crowds at the cables and reduce risk. Chris was still very invested in me not toppling to my death.

    After it was all over, my father-in-law casually said, “Well, now you should try Half Dome in Yosemite.”

    I hadn’t even heard of the Half Dome at the time. I wrote it off as something beyond my abilities. But… I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

    When I finally looked it up, my first reaction was that it was way outside my comfort zone. Longer, steeper, higher, too much commitment. But after Angel’s Landing, I knew something important: I CAN DO HARD THINGS!

    So what started as a casual comment slowly became a thought I couldn’t shake. And that thought turned into a goal. Because once you prove to yourself that you can do hard things, it’s almost impossible not to wonder what else might be possible.

  • Top 9 Places to Visit in the Winter

    Once Christmas is over and the decorations come down, January can feel… bleak. The days are short, the weather is cold, and the post-holiday slump is very real. One of my favorite ways to shake off the winter blues is to plan a trip! Whether that means leaning into winter with cozy snow-covered towns or escaping entirely to sunshine and warm weather.

    Here are some of the best places to visit in the winter, whether you love snow or would rather avoid it altogether.

    Ski Resorts

    I will not pretend to know anything about skiing, and I avoid snow like the plague. But if skiing is your thing, winter is obviously prime time to travel. The best snow conditions are typically late January through February. To save money, look into buddy passes, advance-purchase lift tickets, multi-day bundles, and resort deals that include lodging.

    Jackson Hole, Wyoming

    Known for its challenging terrain and dramatic mountain views, Jackson Hole is a bucket-list ski destination. It’s more of a splurge than some resorts, but the scenery and snow quality are hard to beat.

    Park City, Utah

    Of the three major ski destinations listed here, Park City is often the most budget-friendly when you factor in both lift tickets and lodging. It’s close enough to Salt Lake City that you can stay outside the resort area and save significantly. Plus it’s the “Greatest Snow on Earth!” Or at least it is MOST years, this winter has been a bit light on the snow!

    Aspen, Colorado

    Aspen is synonymous with luxury skiing. It’s stunning, upscale, and offers multiple mountains with varied terrain. If you’re looking for a high-end winter getaway with great dining and ski vibes, Aspen delivers.

    New England Winter Charm

    If skiing downhill isn’t your thing, New England offers a completely different kind of winter experience. One that’s slower, cozier, and incredibly charming.

    Stowe, Vermont

    Stowe feels like it belongs on a snow globe. It’s perfect for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and wandering through quaint small towns. This is the kind of place where you stay in a cozy bed and breakfast, drink hot cocoa by a fireplace, and embrace winter instead of fighting it.

    Woodstock, Vermont

    Woodstock is the definition of classic New England winter charm. Think snow-covered village greens, covered bridges, cozy inns, and small shops glowing with warm light on cold evenings. If you’ve ever wanted to step into a Hallmark-style winter movie, this is it.

    To Escape the Cold Entirely

    If winter weather makes you miserable, there’s no rule saying you have to tolerate it. Sometimes the best winter trip involves palm trees, sunshine, and temperatures that don’t require a coat.

    Hawaii

    Winter is an incredible time to visit Hawaii. It’s peak whale-watching season, the weather is warm but not oppressive, and the islands feel lush and vibrant.

    • Maui is perfect for whale watching, beaches, and laid-back luxury.
    • Oahu offers a mix of beaches, hiking, history, and city life
    • The Big Island and Kauai are also fantastic in winter if you’re looking for fewer crowds and more dramatic landscapes.

    Palm Springs/Coachella Valley, California

    Palm Springs is all about desert warmth, sunshine, and relaxation. Winter temperatures are ideal for hiking, lounging by the pool, and exploring nearby Joshua Tree National Park, where winter is actually one of the best times to visit thanks to cooler daytime temps.

    Destin, Florida

    While it’s not hot-weather beach season, Destin still offers mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and beautiful coastal views. Winter is a great time to enjoy the area without the spring-break chaos, and prices are often much lower than peak summer months.

    Honorable Mention

    Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania

    Punxsutawney is less about a general winter getaway and more about showing up for one very specific moment: Groundhog Day on February 2. If you time it right, the town transforms into a lively, quirky celebration centered around tradition, small-town Americana, and the famous weather prediction. Outside of Groundhog Day, there isn’t much reason to plan a winter visit. But if you love unique events and novelty travel experiences, this is one worth checking off the list.

    Whether you’re bundling up for snowy mountain views or hopping a flight to somewhere warm and sunny, winter is a great time to travel. Sometimes just planning a trip is enough to pull you out of the post-holiday funk, but actually going is even better!
