Blessed in Colorado

The last blog I published was about Quinton, Roger’s Dad. We did indeed make the trip to Colorado for his final days and were very comforted in the fact that we had some quality time with him before he passed. We were extremely blessed with the caregivers he had in his final days and the…

Therapy

It’s been said that writing is therapeutic, so here goes! Roger’s Dad is 95 and has taken a turn for the worse. We are en route to Grand Junction now to see him, and it sure stirs up memories. Memories I’d like to capture for me to keep and also to share with others. I…

New Places and Old Faces

Nashville baby! It’s been on Tonya’s list for years and it did not disappoint! The first week was spent with just the two of us doing the touristy stuff. We rode the hop-on-hop-off bus and were able to have a great lunch downtown and walk around to take in the sounds. And if you’ve been…

California to Arkansas

We spent 10 days in California (San Jose area) visiting with Laura while she's there training for her new job. Then, we began the trip south/east. Our destination for 2 weeks was Eureka Springs, AR. To get here, we intentionally drove further south to go to Phoenix for the annual maintenance on our coach (oil…

Blessed and Flexible

In our journey around the country we get to see some amazing areas, meet new people, experience local cultures and get to see friends and family! And, when we want, we can change our route and go a completely different direction than planned. To us, this is completely normal and taking advantage of this nomadic…

Idaho – you were GREAT to us!

We spent an entire month in Idaho. I can honestly say it’s the first state where we’ve spent enough time that we feel like we really got to know the state. Even with a month though we were making choices on what to do given the number of options! We used six different base locations…

Working our way to new areas….

We left Gypsum after staying at Pat and Gary’s for 3+ weeks and headed west. Pat and Gary are awesome hosts and we loved spending time with them! Thank you again P&G! We then stayed a few nights in Grand Junction where we spent time with Roger’s Dad, Quinton, his nephew Kevin, and Kevin’s children,…

Leaving Colorado… again…

We’ve spent the past month in Colorado. We were in the Front Range with Aunt Audrey and her family and then up the mountains to spend time with Pat and Gary and their family and then in Grand Junction for a few days. Colorado will always hold a special place for us. It’s where I…

Our First Year in Review

This is the story of our travels for June 20, 2017 thru June 20, 2018. Link to map route: Map of 2017 Route It’s been one year since we sold the “stick home” and started to travel full time in our RV. You may remember we spent 5 months on the road in 2016, then…

When your little girl grows up…..

Last week I had the experience of a lifetime. As a little girl, you dream of your own wedding and wonder when and how your life will unfold. You wonder about the person you’ll love, the dress, and the people that will join you in the ceremony. Then, when you become a Mom, you know…
