We’re Alive!

24. July 2008

We have just been on the go since our last post. I can’t say what we’ve been doing a lot of sightseeing. More than anything, we’ve been doing a lot of driving. We were on the this little road, I think it’s called US-58, and it took us up, down, and around [...]

Yesterday we finished our leg of the journey that took us on Route 66 and I thought I would reflect for a minute. I really enjoyed driving the road. It was much better than the interstate for me.

Our Trip to the Grand Canyon

My mom died of cancer 5 years ago. Most days I don’t think about it, but today her life and death were front and center in my mind. Nature has a funny way of revealing things about your true character. It illuminates things that were so hidden away inside of you that [...]

Our Last Day in New Mexico

As I type this we are on our way to the Grand Canyon. Did you know that it costs $25 PER VEHICLE to go into the Grand Canyon?? That’s crazy to me. Yesterday we visited the Petrified Forest and they charged $10 to get in! What they do to make it look [...]

We are STILL in New Mexico. We can’t seem to escape this place!! Honestly, there’s so much to do and see that we keep pulling over and end up not doing too much driving.

New Ways of Doing Things

CM and I had dreamed about life on the road. Just picking up and going to see new places at a moments notice. Well, we’ve officially been RVing for over two weeks now, and we realize that a life on the road isn’t as sweet as we initially thought it would be.

Our Trip to White Sands, New Mexico

Yesterday we went to the White Sands National Monument. I had hoped to go early in the morning before it hit 100˚, but CM had read that it is best at night. So we ended up entering the park at around 7pm and we stayed until 10pm. Last night was perfect and [...]

Made It To The Desert (CM)

No post for a few days. Sorry it has just been really busy. So here is a long update. We went to the lower ninth ward and then on to the French quarter while in New Orleans. There was a very stark contrast between the two areas. I am sure this has been true throughout most [...]

A Detour to New Orleans

9. July 2008

I guess it’s not really a detour, more like an unplanned stop. One that needs to be made. When CM and I started this whole process we wanted to teach our kids about the world. What better starting place than New Orleans? Widget is in the back drawing and I keep [...]

Family Time

Today was a pretty laid back day. We are visiting my dad and brother in Warner Robins, GA. We used to live here about 5 years ago. As a matter of fact, this is where Widget was born. We hope that having an RV will allow us to make more frequent [...]

On Friday, I found out my next assignment! We had to choose a list of ten places we wanted to go. I was really crushed when we got the list and Japan wasn’t on there. However, when life gives you lemons…..

Long story short — We’re moving to Korea!!! Someone told me “It’s just like Japan, only dirtier.” We’re all super excited. We plan to use Korea for a launching pad to Asia. We’d like to go to Japan, China, and Thailand!!

Woohooo!

Wow!

So I was setting up another blog and I ran across this one!

So we eventually we had to leave Glacier National Park. A reader of our blog had suggested that we travel to Bozeman hot spring and Butte. I was pretty psyched about taking the advice of a complete stranger, and I was surprised that CM seemed to be going for it as well. About 200 miles later our RV broke down.

We were at Glacier National Park for only 3 days, but so much happened. I just need to share a few more things and then I will move on to the calamity that struck us after we left.

I had really been feeling like the trip was a bust. I had wanted to show the kids all of these different things and they really weren’t too interested. CM and I were feeling that we spent more time with our back on them (because we were driving) than we did when we had an apartment. Some days it seemed like the only time that we really talked to them was to tell them “Stop hitting” or “Share!” I really felt that the hike in Montana really changed that.

Two words: Pure exhaustion. At the time of my last post, we were having terrible problems getting any kind of internet signal and we were headed to Glacier National Park in Montana. Well, when we got there what we thought was a 1.5 mile hike, turned out to be a 4.5 mile hike (thank you, CM).
