North Rim!

We headed out of Page, Arizona today. I could easily live in Page minus the time zones. Id be late or early everywhere, never on time because I'd never know which time I was in. But I loved the scenery, the small town, and so much to do. 

We started on our adventure to the North Rim. We stopped at the Navajo Bridge to take pictures and shop the open air market. 

As we were heading out the scenery changed from cliffs and rocks to meadows and forests. Lots of Bob Ross happy little trees everywhere. Fall is in the air. Then it quickly changed to where you saw all the devesastion from the fires earlier this year. It looked as though new trees were already sprouting up in all the burntness. 

We stopped at Jacob Lake to get some yummy cookies people raved about and giant milkshakes. Eli had a cone as big as his head. Isaac and Emory shared an oreo shake, Sir Isaac had chocolate and I opted for Peach. They were worth every penny.

We took a wrong turn out and ended up close and personal with the forest. That was a nice scary adventure of not knowing if we would be able to turn the trailer around to get out. But my hubby is a rockstar. He is so good in those situations. We made it out and returned on our way back to the North Rim.

The North Rim isn't as popular so less people and fun lodging. We are staying at the North Canyon Lodge. A real shower and A real bed. I'm soaking it in.  We went fancy for our last dinner for the trip. We all tried Elk chili. The boys weren't fans. Pretty tasty if I do say myself. 

The big excitement for the day other than milkshakes and getting lost in a forest was Bison.  A whole herd of them just hanging out. So cool!

We head out tomorrow after our morning hike.
Good night!

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.
