Jon grew up going to Redding, California to visit his cousins in the summer time. But for the rest of us, it was our first time visiting this part of Northern California. The views were breathtaking!

We flew into Sacramento, rented a car + drove to Redding. already on your bucket list, add it. Soooooo, so worth it. We flew, but from Utah it isn’t too bad of a drive — around 10 hours.

We knew we’d be going on a few hikes + that rain was in the forecast (isn’t it always in Hawaii . . . at least for one day), so we snagged some new rain gear from Backcountry before we left.

This Easter was a special one. I think I’ve mentioned here how special my Mom + Dad made holidays growing up. They would focus around Our Savior, Jesus Christ + kept us close as a family. Easter especially!

Watching them continue to make strides to keep us close + loveee on the grandkids makes my heart beam. Pretty surreal to all be together in the most beautiful place on earth as a family!

Our trip to Dubai didn’t exactly start out like we had envisioned. Long story short, Jon’s passport was expiring in 60 days. Come to find out, you have to be no shorter than 90 days from expiring to get in! He rerouted through Georgia for a same day passport + met us over there a couple days later.

I could tell by Jon’s face that something wasn’t right.

In Dubai, we stayed at Atlantis! Un-freaking-real! Waking up to that view each morning was something that could have convinced me to never go home.
The hotel was about 15-20 minutes from all the attractions, so we just took an Uber + didn’t rent a car!

 
How’s that aquarium for a hotel lobby?! 🙂

One of the number one questions I got asked while there + now that we are back, is if I “felt safe.”
100,000% YES!
