Just to let you folks know, I’m not a fan of Las Vegas. Justin and I have been here twice, both on our honeymoon as a break from National Parks. The architecture and art of the casino’s and the amazing shows Vegas has are it’s only highlights in my opinion. That being said, they also […]
Since we were going to be on the road for Christmas, one of our good friends’ Mom, who lives in Colorado, so very graciously invited us to spend Christmas with the whole family (including our dear dear friends from Portland of course). We knew this was going to add a lot of long driving days […]
This was part of our trip where we were trying to get from warm weather to our chilly Colorado Christmas destination with little stops along the way. We wanted to breeze through the cold weather as swiftly as possible with some effort in not making it feel miserable. We spent about a day and a […]
As you saw in our last post, we had quite the laundry saga so our day to explore Tucson became the day to retrieve laundry and let the girls play. Justin ended up leaving around 7:30am to fix his mistake. Justin and I contemplated having the girls and I dropped off downtown to explore while […]
I don’t usually create an entire post about driving days but this one in particular deserves a post itself. What a day we had!
Justin and I joined a group called Full-time Families before embarking on this journey in hopes of meeting other like-minded families with kiddos that our girls could have fun playing with. In December we finally had a chance to meet up with other families from this group!
While we were boondocking in the Tucson area we met a lovely family who had kiddos just a little bit older than our girls. The kids totally hit it off to the point where we didn’t see a whole lot of our oldest when we were camping there. Half of the time they were adventuring […]
While we were in Tucson, we made a last minute change of plans to head down to Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) Mexico. Since the drive from Tucson to Puerto Penasco was to be 3.5 hours, we decided to break it up by making a one night stop at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Not only […]
Part of Saguaro National park is right next to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum that we had visited the day before, which was only a 20 minutes drive from our boon docking site at Snyder Hill BLM. We decided to head over to the park as a day trip to see the cacti and allow the girls […]
We found some nice BLM land near Tucan to boondock on that was close to Tucan and the Arizona Desert Museum. Justin and I had visited this museum previously when we were just dating so we knew it was a good one. Justin’s mom happened to be visiting Tucson, so we planned to meet up […]
