while we were in benson, i was able to get a TON of sewing done. the staff and volunteers (and other campers) were great about all of us descending upon the rec lodge and taking over, so i could set up a quilting factory, and the kids could rot their little brains out. we came […]
friends
mesa miscellany. (plus some yuma).
when we parted ways with the grandlidboms, they headed back to nc, and we made our way to arizona. our first stop was in yuma, just across the border. we had a quick little stay in the front yard of a random strangers house, who we found via boondockerswelcome.com. (basically, it’s a subscription service that […]
menifee, california.
well. so. we had to cut our time in joshua tree a little short. we ran into a bit of trouble with our battery being able to hold enough charge, given the allotted charging time. since we didn’t want to have to leave every few days to go charge up offsite, we decided to head […]
canyonlands last hurrah.grand view point overlook.
on our last full day in moab, we hit up canyonlands for a final hike at grand view point overlook. it’s all the way at the end of the park road and offers some seriously amazing panoramic views of the park. the hiker kids. and a mom. (the tiny person wasn’t feeling well). on our […]
moab adventures with friends.
in the grand tetons we met a new fun family and we made fast friends. we realized we were scheduled to be at glacier at the same time a few weeks later. then we went our separate ways for a bit, but last sunday, they rolled in (like a BUNCH of hours out of their […]
canyonlands. mesa arch.
after a bunch of trips to arches, we spent the friday of our first week in moab taking a trip out to canyonlands. we didn’t really have a game plan except to get out of the camper, pick up junior ranger books, get some information about the park, and figure out one small hike. after […]
boise and salt lake city miscellany.
our down time in boise and salt lake city was pretty uneventful, so i’m crammimg all of the uneventfulness into one blog post. firstly. boise. we had high hopes of a lot of adventures. we did manage to hit up the capitol, the old penitentiary, and the science center. but, then a crazy amount of […]
antelope island with some fave friends.
we have been extra excited about our time in salt lake city, because we had coordinated with a fellow fulltime traveling family to meet up for a day. we met them in florida on our “trial run” and then ran into them again, in january, also in florida. we follow each others adventures and check […]
quincy, washington.
like our previous two weeks in newport, washington, our time in quincy was pretty low key and chill. we took this little four week detour to give southern utah a bit of time to cool off before we make our way down. and the two campgrounds were in our thousand trail network, making them free […]
lazy days in newport, washington.
after our very amazing and fast paced month in yellowstone, grand tetons and glacier national park, we made our way into eastern washington, for a decidedly less exciting leg of our trip. we are basically just killing some time, allowing south utah to cool off a bit before we return to visit a ton of […]
