One reason we traded in our pop-up for a driveable class C is because we are on the move a lot. We also wanted something compatible with schooling, and possibly working from the road. I once shuddered at the thought of staying at Cracker Barrel and Wal-Mart parking lots, but now, they are a go-toContinue reading “Some places”

After our Utah excursions we landed back in Tucson for our 2nd vaccine, and so much more. Before we decided to make the RV our temporary home I was well aware that unexpected issues could land us in towns we never expected to stay. I was not prepared for those unexpected issues to occur simultaneouslyContinue reading “Tucson Redux (get me out of here)”

We had a few days before we had to be back in Tucson for our second COVID vaccine and landed at Lone Rock Beach. While the water was too chilly for a swim, the kids were so happy to be back on soft sand (minus tumbleweed spurs, OUCH). Don’t let the photos fool you, weContinue reading “Lone Rock Beach, Lake Powell”

After our weekend camping with Pearl & Co. we traveled back to Hurricane, UT and camped for a few more days. We stayed close enough to their house where we enjoyed evening play and dinners together. Their home has the spectacular backdrop of Zion off in the distance. While the talk about the crowds wasContinue reading “Zion”

As lovely as Arizona is, it was beginning to feel like The Hotel California. Between fine tuning our RV for long-term travel, buying a jeep, acclimating the kids to learning on the road, and Phil getting into his RV office groove, we just couldn’t seem to make it beyond Tucson. We were going to tryContinue reading “Utah: Part 1”

We spent the afternoon at Tumacácori, a Jesuit, and later, Franciscan missionary. I was so impressed with P&B’s level of interest regarding the history of the land, the various tribes, missionaries, and the intersections of cooperation and conflict. We even covered a little bit of math by figuring out how many years ago certain eventsContinue reading “Tumacácori”

Our kids are adventurous, sometimes to a fault. Yesterday, P&B created a “desert obstacle course” and were having a blast until a slip resulted in poor B sliding right into a jumping cholla cactus. He couldn’t have been more brave while we tweezed out every pricier, which took over 30 minutes. Thanks to a parkContinue reading “B vs. Jumping Cholla”

We travel slowly. It’s no secret. We like to take detours and wrong turns often lead us to some of our greatest memories. This tradition began when I was traveling with my dear friend, Jenny through Thailand and Vietnam and certainly was adopted when Phil and I traveled throughout southern and east Africa. Traveling inContinue reading “We have a name!”
