Unplugging out West
This summer’s big adventure is a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon, a place that promises both awe and inspiration. Its vast, rugged beauty offers a humbling reminder of nature's power, and I can't wait to share this with my family. I picked this destination because we haven’t done much exploration out west, and my husband hasn’t been to the Grand Canyon either. If I’m honest, I’m also really looking forward to being completely off the grid. Like most, I spend much of my working day online, and my kids utilize screens for work and play, so a few days of unplugging will be good for all our eyes and brains.
The trip includes a day at a working dude ranch before the rafting and two nights in Las Vegas after the adventure. My kids have never been to Las Vegas, and we have fun dinner reservations and plans to see Chriss Angel’s Mindfreak magic show one evening. It will be fun to see the boys’ reactions to the barely controlled chaos that is Las Vegas at night.
