Recalculating RouteAMY: Carrie and I are filling in for Jon this week (truthfully the deal is: Carrie is helping me with the blog and I am watching a movie with her later). We started our week at Allegany State Park near Salamanca NY. CARRIE: It was mostly rainy, muddy and buggy all week. Not my idea […]
Natalie and I are going to tell this week’s story. Our first highlight came as a gift from an Indianapolis friend and neighbor who once lived in Orlando. She was able to fix us up with tickets to Universal Studios! (Thanks Missy!) NATALIE: At first I was really scared because I thought I would have […]
AMY: Jon was busy working hard this week, so the girls and I did a lot on our own. Natalie is joining me again for this week’s post. Yay Natalie! NATALIE: Actually, my friend asked me to do another blog post. AMY: I thought I had a great idea after last week’s failed attempt at […]
I am very excited that Emily is helping with the blog this week. So Em, pick your color… EMILY: Blue, because it is the Boeing color! AMY: We enjoyed our time in West Yellowstone camped right next to Shawna and Matthew. EMILY: Gus, their cat, and Bella, their dog, were really cute and fun to […]
Natalie is going to chime in on the blog this week. Nat, what color do you want to be? NAT: I want to be pink. Great, and I’ll just be plain black. So, we started our week with a short trip from West Wendover, NV to Tooele, UT, so we could stay at an inexpensive […]
We’ve polished off a lot of Blue Bell ice cream in recent weeks, so when we discovered the Blue Bell Creamery was located in Brenham TX, we had to take a tour. Best of all, the tour included ice cream. While at the creamery, I discovered a local Jersey farm that welcomed visitors. Natalie says Jerseys are […]
We really have some catching up to do! We left Austin mid-week and headed to San Antonio with my mom and dad. My mom loves a picnic, so I was glad we were able to share one with her. We spent a day checking out the San Antonio missions while Jon got caught up on […]
We were able to snag a cheap hook-up site at the casino for the week. It came with some pretty cool morning entertainment: We were a little unsure about camping all week in a parking lot, but since the girls and I had plans to visit with our friends Jake and Melissa all week, we decided […]
When we were deciding what we wanted to do or see around San Diego, I was the only one interested in a whale watching tour. So, I was prepared to go by myself. Natalie kindly decided to come along so I wouldn’t have to be alone. It was a beautiful day, but there had been […]
We learned an important climate lesson this week; elevation matters. Even though we moved south, we also climbed 4000 feet up and encountered freezing temps at night. Fortunately, when the sun came up the lines thawed quickly and we enjoyed sunny, warm days. I bribed my family (with Julian CA’s famous apple pie) to take […]
