Year in Places – 2018 Edition

Closing out 2018 with my annual list of travels. Things were a little light this year in terms of travel. Following up on my wife and I’s camping trip to Zion National Park, we took the kids this year.

Here you go. Multiple nights indicated by an *. Home base is Omaha.

  • Omaha, NE* (Home base)
  • Green River, WY
  • Cedar City, UT
  • Zion National Park, UT* (camping)
  • Springdale, UT
  • Rifle, CO
  • Carroll, IA

My quote for this year’s recap is a little different. While we didn’t hit the road as often, sometimes a journey is simply looking at something a different way.

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”

Year in Places – 2016 Edition

As the year draws to a close, it is time to recap my travels. This is an annual tradition going back a few years and the rules are simple: Catalog every city in which I spent at least one night.

2016 saw a record low for me in the 16 years I’ve been keeping track. While I didn’t move around a whole lot, I did have some seriously awesome travel experiences. A few days in Kansas City with my parents, my siblings and their families. A week in Breck with my wife’s side of the family. Capping it off was another trip to Disney World in October.

High quality relaxation time during a turbulent work environment.

Without further ado, my 2016 Year in Places (multiple trips indicated by an *):

  • Omaha* (home base)
  • Carroll, IA*
  • Kansas City, MO*
  • Scottsbluff, NE
  • Breckenridge, CO
  • Orlando, FL
