Day 2: We ran out of sunlight by the time we got to the Lemon Squeezer in #coloradonationalmonument . Thank goodness we had our @biolite head lamps (very bright) to guide us back to the parking lot.

This was my reward for ripping off some skin in the “skinny chimney.” Nashville-style spicy battered #lobster tail and sweet cream #waffle with maple agave butter crafted by #devilskitchen in @hotel_maverick

The restaurant is located on the top floor with panoramic views of the red sandstone in the area. Kids loved the king bed bunk bed. Swipe left to check it out. @visitgrandjunction @visitcolorado

Day 2: After a morning of running around trying to find a place to get a covid test in @visitsaltlake that would give us results in time for @ko_snowboarder #international #snowboardcross ...we drove 5 hrs to @visitgrandjunction to meet @the.s.s.eden with @glenwoodclimbingguides at #coloradonationalmonument for some #canyoneering . Owners of #glenwoodclimbingguides Joy and Mike are great w/kids. Their daughter was the youngest to #climb El Capitan at age 10. Here’s mine! 4 yo who insisted on carrying a rock about the size of her face during our hike. She’s still sporting our @petzl_official #ouistiti full body #harness which has been passed down through four kids.

#responsibletravel is something on my mind lately as folks flock to popular outdoor destinations. I’m researching lesser known gems like #nationalmonuments . Located at 7000 feet, this #nationalmonument offers 20000 acres of spectacular red sandstone spires, canyons, mesas, and chimneys! The most difficult one was #skinnychimney (photo 2) where I got all scraped up then took a break to chat w/you all (3rd clip) while the 4yo, 7yo, 12 yo and @ko_snowboarder #climbed and #rappelled ! #rapel #rapelling #climbing #climbinglife @visitcolorado #girlsclimb #girlsthatclimb #climbingkids #kidsthatclimb #climblikeagirl #climblikeagirl💪 #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #climber

Day 8: Haven’t slept much this whole week. This image captures my angst as a #snowboardcross mom ... since we arrived @coppermtn on Wed (Day 5) for @usskiteam #holeshot #international and #national #cross championship (2mr) after driving three hours from #sandboarding in @greatsanddunesnps and learning about bison #conservation @ranchlands . I “let go” of my 15 yo daughter @ko_snowboarder around 7am everyday and pray that she has a good day. A good day for her is beating her speed up to 45mph down a course in a minute. Swipe right to see one of her practice runs. A good day for me is not getting the phone call that she crashed (Already a former teammate and current teammate suffered concussions) and snuggling w/my 4 yo to calm my nerves. #sbx #sbxlife #sbxlifestyle #snowboardgirlsdoitbetter #snowboardgirls🏂 #snowboardgirlsrule #snowboardgirlsrock

Day 1: #roadtrip from California through @visituta

Day 1: #roadtrip from California through @visitutah and @visitcolorado to the US #snowboard Cross National Championships with 6 snowboards (one for each person in the family) and 4 kids. Our daughter will be competing in 3 international races, her first time.

Arrived at @kimpton Monaco in @saltlakecity_utah after midnight so we were grateful for the #cupcakes and drinks in our room. The #hotel even thoughtfully provided a treat for our daughter who is allergic to dairy, egg, shellfish and nuts.
-
I was surprised that if you forget to pack one of these items the hotel will provide: cell phone chargers, curling or straightening irons, hair bands, feminine hygiene products, humidifier, lint rollers, make-up mirror, nail clippers, stain-remover wipes, anti-static spray, tweezers and more!
-
Uniquely, the hotel offers complimentary access to @ancestry . This partnership was created to celebrate Salt Lake City being the largest holder of genealogy resources in the country.
-
They also partner with one of the state’s oldest adventure companies @utahmountainadventures , which we hope to have the time on our return trip to adventure with. What would you recommend?

At @hardrockcafe in #southlaketahoe you can enjoy

At @hardrockcafe in #southlaketahoe you can enjoy the first and only #seafoodbar in the area. We loved sitting at the bar and watching the chefs make our #seafoodboil and #clamlinguini in their #openkitchen. Because it’s first come first serve, we walked around admiring the #musicmemorabilia #rihanna @jamesbrown @elvis @madonna

Watching your child race #sbx always gives me ulce

Watching your child race #sbx always gives me ulcers. Broken arms. Concussions. Praying for teammates who ski patrol brought down the course on a sled. This season my son joins his big sister @ko_snowboarder and the @squawalpine @svam_snowboardteam #snowboardcross #skicross team who earned 20 Medals on Saturday and 14 on Sunday.

Gratitude to Coach Mort, @nateholland and Mike for the confidence & courage you’ve instilled in our kids. I am blown away by how much they learned since December. Thank you @purlwax for non #fluro #performance #race #wax . I’m also thoroughly impressed as always by @usasasouthtahoe @actionjet who runs incredibly organized races and goes out of her way to find the best #swag ! My son is enjoying his @blackstrap beanie. #kosnowboarder makes breakfast for us before she starts school with her waffle maker and she even made her younger sisters happy by gifting them the #blackstrap pink goggle socks and buff.

During my stay @renrenodowntown when I needed to take a break and get some inspiration, I would walk through their #artgallery. This one is called #poplar crowd acrylic n canvas. Artist #davidmccamant ! You can rent out bottom floor which has bar and dining space. There is an artist installation there (2nd photo). The hotel invites #artists to paint their walls!

What’s happening on ur #valentines ? @ko_snowboa

What’s happening on ur #valentines ? @ko_snowboarder (my daughter who never wins any #swag at @usasasnow #races) won this #wafflemaker last weekend from @usasasouthtahoe @actionjet @sierra_at_tahoe and bronze medals in #giantslalom and #slalom . The first #waffles she made were for her little sister who is allergic to eggs, dairy, shellfish and nuts. Then she made a batch for the rest of the family.

(Swipe right) Congratulations to her teammates @alex.bumann05 @ourpuravidaadventures and @hannasnowboards @kimpercy for their silvers and golds. Gratitude to Coach @nateholland and Mike @svam_snowboardteam for his special wax and tune.
