Last weekend, our oldest daughter was celebrating her two-year anniversary with her boyfriend in Steamboat Springs and we needed to get some Christmas photos for the year so we decided to join them up there. They had gone up before we did and stayed in a B&B. We stayed at a La Quinta about five... Continue Reading →
The day before Halloween, husband, our youngest, and I went on a road trip to Wyoming to see if we could get a good view of the Northern Lights. From what we learned, the massive solar flare would glow far enough to reach parts of Colorado. We thought we'd go further north for a better... Continue Reading →
Happy LEAP DAY! Yesterday, I got a tooth pulled and a cavity filled. I was told to take it slow so that's what I've been doing. Last Friday, the family drove to Albuquerque, NM for daughter's dance competition. It was about a seven hour drive. We arrived around 11:30pm and all went straight to bed.... Continue Reading →
The family took a one week road trip last week to Grand Canyon National Park. We drove south to New Mexico then headed west to Williams, AZ where we stayed for a couple of nights.

The photo below shows us at just shy of three hours from our destination. Here are some views on our way there. We... Continue Reading →

During our stay in Vegas, we drove to Hoover Dam and took a tour of the powerplant. I've visited the Dam before in the couple of times I've been to Vegas (years ago) but I've never taken the tour (and I'm not sure why). It was pretty fascinating to learn the history and go underground... Continue Reading →
Photos of our road trip to Las Vegas. We stayed at the Hotel at Mandalay Bay. It was gorgeous, except for the headless statue near the self-park entrance. Kylie was scared of it so each time we passed it she would look the other direction or close her eyes while one of us held her... Continue Reading →
The family just got back from our road trip to Las Vegas. I'll be posting better photos soon. The photo above was taken with my camera phone during our drive through the mountains. We were stuck in the snow for about two hours because the roads were icy and someone probably either drove too fast... Continue Reading →
