Grand Canyon!!!!!!

We made it! We Mde it! We made it!

We woke up in Bluewater Lake Campground. No service and cold! Temps are definitely different here. Sir Isaac and I stayed up for a bit under the bright moon and managed to catch a shooting star.  We went on a short walk this morning and saw a wild horse. Sir Isaac said it isn't wild, but there was only 1, not friendly, and no one had a horse trailer near. Therefor it was wild.

Rachel had made us a pan of yummy cinnamon buns, so we enjoyed that this morning, before heading out.

I have to be honest, New Mexico was not my favorite.The scenery was pretty, but the spacing between life would not be for me. 

This trip was shorter, but seemed forever! We just let the boys watch movies. We were super excited to see the Arizona sign knowing it wouldn't be much further. 

The big excitement today, besides the Canyon of course, was the milkshake machine. We haven't seen one of these in Georgia and the boys thought this was the coolest thing. You pick your shake, put it in the holder, hit the button and it blends. Three milkshakes it is.

On to the Canyon. We pulled in and were pretty amazed. Of course didn't get a picture of the sign I was so excited. I'll have to get it at some point, but did get some pictures of some elk walking by. One actually just walked by! Walked by our campsite!

Tomorrow we meet up with our group and do some hiking. That should be exciting. We get to figure out the shuttles. 

Supper was a yummy pan of lasagna for Sir Isaac and me, made by mom. We paired with a salad. The boys had their favorite: butter noodles and s'mores.

It's getting hot in here (Lake Havasu City)

Image
It's been awhile. We made it to Lake Havasu City, Arizona back in April and here is mid July and we are moving on. It seemd like a short time here, but then again when you do a 6 month contract, 13 weeks does seem super short. Here are my thoughts on Lake Havasu City.  Lake Havasu City is interesting. A man built City and island to attract tourists. A bridge bought from England for the purpose of being rebuilt to attract tourist and it worked. It's the second highest ranked tourist attraction in the state of Arizona. Each brick was numbered and outlined and crated to be rebuilt exactly true to its original form. The picture below is the outline of all the numbered bricks. It's beautiful here. It has amazing sunrises and sunsets. It's the true definition of a painted desert. We have loved every glimpse of those we get.  The mountains and rocks are something you'd see out of a movie and we are in awe of the beauty the desert holds. Daily we drive over the ...

Let's take a road trip to Alaska....1 month this week!

Image
Most people hope to be able to travel and see the world once they retire. If there is anything life has taught me is: mine as well do it now, for we are never promised tomorrow. And by doing it now, I get to have the adventures with my husband and boys by my side. On our time. I'm not having to wait till they are grown and settled in their own lives to make plans and hope everyone can make it. We are all here now. Has it been easy? Not always. Just like life in bricks, RV life has its challenges. Things need to be fixed. And unless we fix it ourselves, we have to move out of our home until it is fixed. We are navigating life in a 43 ft amount of space. Travel days are long and make me nervous and ready to be there already. But, we get to see the United States and all it has to offer. We also know we still have an amazing village of family and friends we can still rely on back home.  Back in Arizona the question or opportunity came up about doing a contract in Alaska. We knew 2 thin...

Eli Blog- Maple Tree Farm

  Yesterday I went to the maple syrup farm. It had a sugar shack with  a  lot of maple syrup. And it had a lot snow on his farm. I learned how maple syrup was made. I learned all the types of maple syrup. And I learned the type of maple syrup depends on the season. I thought the maple syrup we tasted was pretty good I liked the fist one the most. The guys dogs was very nice and playful. I thought how he made the maple syrup was cool.
