The holidays are a time for family and celebration, of being together with people that you love.  Though we were far away from our parents and friends this holiday, we had the great fortune of spending Christmas with another amazing part of our family!  This year, we had our first Arizona Christmas and it was…

Six months ago I lost my son, best friend, and the love of my life.  Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him, that I don’t miss him.  Some days I can think of all the happy times with fondness and longing, some days are just filled with pain and an ache…

In two months, we have had the privilege to see some pretty amazing places.  On our search to find our next “landing spot,” we try to picture our lives in each of the cities we pass through and each of the different climates and landscapes we stay in.  We always check out what the price…

Just like owning a home, nobody tells you about all the pitfalls of owning an RV until after you have one.  They are like boats; you’re always doing some sort of maintenance on them and the maintenance is expensive.  Our newest bit of fun: a squealing furnace. Of course, as soon as we park in…

Our first day of extensive travel in almost a month!  We decided that it was safer for us to head south again than to travel over the mountains (not trying to experience that again in the winter).  So instead of seeing the Sand Dunes like we wanted, we cut south instead to avoid higher elevation…

A brief update of our final days in Colorado… We went into the mountains again yesterday and picked one of the worst days possible.  Of course, we decided to go while it was snowing (because that was so smart of us the first time).  This time, we took the Jeep and went to explore the…

Castles, wine tasting, giant canyons, and dark small town histories.  We spent the past few days exploring some interesting aspects of Colorado.  On Saturday, we visited Bishop Castle.  I remember going here when I was younger and thinking it was pretty amazing so we decided to take the cousins and Andy to explore the castle…

We’ve been on the road for a little over 6 weeks now and have explored and experienced some pretty spectacular things.  For the past two weeks we have been in Colorado, visiting family and exploring different areas.  It has been a nice break from our constant traveling and has given us a little time to…

Our excitement has waned significantly since our trip down the mountain but we are thankful for that and finding more ways to enjoy our stay in Colorado. Today, we visited the town of Manitou Springs, at the base of Pike’s Peak.  It is a cute little town, filled with shops of all kinds and adorable…

Picture this: you are driving down a mountain in your huge RV, towing your Jeep behind you.  It has been snowing a lot and the roads are slick and icy.  You are following an SUV with a paramedic symbol on the back, curving around the mountain, going up and down hills, watching road signs telling you…
