Carnivore Heaven…
While we were near Houston recently, we abandon our trailer park kids (let the kids stay home and watch movies) while we went out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary and my hubby passing a course he took in Houston. We had heard from the campground manager that the little BBQ joint just a few miles down the road was a great place to eat, so we decided to venture out for their Friday Night All You... [Read more]
SAS Shoe Factory tour, San Antonio, TX…
One source of fun (and educational!) opportunities that is often overlooked when traveling, is that of factory tours! We have done several tours this winter while visiting the sunny south; the latest was a visit to the SAS shoe factory in San Antonio, TX. SAS stands for San Antonio Shoemakers, and their quality products have been 100% American made since it’s beginning in 1976. Planning our... [Read more]
Stuffington Bear Factory tour, right here in Phoenix!
Our family loves factory tours. And a FREE factory tour is even better! LOL! Last week found us at the Stuffington Bear Factory, right here in snowbird paradise, Phoenix (AZ)! I was interested in the Stuffington Bear Factory for several reasons. One is the fact that it would be a great field trip for our roadschool, another was the fact that I knew that the kids (the little girls especially)... [Read more]
Cathedral Rock; a quest for the ultimate view…
If you find yourself near Sedona, AZ, and you like to explore the Arizona desert terrain on foot, you must visit Cathedral Rock! Cathedral Rock is a short but steep ascent, approximately 1.5 miles round trip, with a gain of 600 feet. It’s well worth the uphill climb when you get to enjoy the incredible views that are to be had from some of the saddles! The first part of the hike is an easy... [Read more]
Montezuma Castle and Well N.M., AZ…
While we were in the beautiful Verde Valley a couple of weeks ago, we were sure to visit Montezuma Castle and Well National Monuments in addition to Tuzigoot N.M. We were glad that we did Tuzigoot first, because, while it is interesting and a great place to visit, it doesn’t hold a candle to Montezuma Castle! Course, the nice thing about Tuzigoot is that you can walk to and in the actual ruins,... [Read more]
Tuzigoot National Monument and Jerome, AZ…
We recently spent a week and a half near Cottonwood, AZ (which is located between Sedona and Prescott). Because of it’s elevation of 3300 feet, the nights were chilly, some of them getting below freezing enough that we would have to unhook our water overnight. Despite it being cooler than I had anticipated, we still enjoyed our visit very much, and the days warmed enough that, during a few... [Read more]
Death Valley National Park…
One of the National Parks that has surprised me the most was Death Valley. I expected it to be a vast valley with nothing but barren sand dunes for miles and miles. I didn’t give it much thought, but just figured that it was worthy of it’s National Park status due to the fact that it is deemed the hottest spot in the United States. And to be honest, the only reason that we gave it... [Read more]
Stunning Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada
During our recent stay in Las Vegas, we were looking for some family friendly places to visit. While we had noticed Valley of Fire NV State Park in our atlases, we really didn’t have a great desire to visit it. The surrounding landscape didn’t seem overly scenic when we had driven by the exit to the park off the Interstate, and we had not seen any overly inviting advertising of the... [Read more]
The Gorgeous Red Rock Canyon, NV…
While we were staying in Las Vegas, Nevada, this past week, we took a little drive out of town to visit the beautiful Red Rock Canyon. RRC is a National Conservation Area (the land is managed by BLM) so we were able to get in for free with our National Parks Access Pass; otherwise, admittance for your vehicle is $7. We first made a stop at the modern visitor’s center, where the younger... [Read more]
Blessed to spend CHRISTmas in our RV…
Christmas in an RV can be a greatl experience! We wondered, that first year that we were traveling, if Christmas would be as wonderful and as meaningful as it always was to us in the house. This year will be our 3rd Christmas ‘houseless’; and we have found that we may just enjoy Christmas all the more without the house! Granted, there are some ‘sacrifices’ that we... [Read more]
