after our little stay in menifee, we moved on to san diego, where we would be meeting derek’s parents for an epic christmas extravaganza. but, first, we had a few days to settle in before they would arrive. once we were all set up and good to go at our site, we headed off to […]
trains
train rides and tent camping.
after derek and i took our excursion to twin lakes, i couldn’t shake the idea that we would camp there. we decided that we would leave friday and head down, spend one night and then get back on track to rifle on saturday. once that was decided, the grandlidboms decided to stay a little bit […]
the last few weeks of miscellany.
after we left santa fe, we went to a campground (villanueva state park) that was in the middle of nowhere and had no internet/cell. we stayed a night before finding a spot that was mostly in the middle of nowhere (springer, nm) but DID have internet. the next week, we went to sugarite canyon, which […]
santa fe. with friends and family.
we just finished up a whirlwind week in santa fe, where my mom and terry flew in to stay with their friend david/dash, who moved away from their hood a few years ago. we met them saturday and quickly made our way to the plaza in downtown santa fe. we were pretty much starving, so […]
oliver lee state park. week one.
we are halfway through our two week stay at oliver lee state park in alamogordo, new mexico. it’s one of the better locations we have found ourselves at, in terms of the view. it’s a state park, so we don’t have sewer hookups, which mean bath houses and trips to the dump station and extreme […]

we have been in texas now for two weeks. we are in the middle of nowhere. and we have been so bored. except for the weekend, when we went to austin. let me take you back to when we were still in louisiana. we were only there for one non-new orleans day and it was […]
five weeks in winston-salem.
this morning, we bid farewell to our “hometown” of winston-salem after a five week visit with derek’s parents. we stayed in their driveway, and overtook their house. we completed some camper fixes and upgrades. we purged some clothes and toys and added new clothes and toys. we ate a lot. celebrated a lot. and spent […]
hazel’s super early birthday party.
while we were “home”, we also managed to squeeze in a little birthday celebration for the crazelnut. her actual birthday is in a week, but we will be all alone on the road, so we had a little family party between our thanksgiving and our extra early family christmas. since i sold all of my […]
