Our travels take us many places. There is a general direction and, at times, a purpose. The first week of travel is usually made up of one nighters, Walmarts, rest areas, and travel centers. Storms sent us directions we hadn’t really planned on. It’s better safe than on course. Time to Fly Away. This year,…

Cheeseburger in New Mexico Paradise
Every day, all day, our 15 year old son asks, “What’s for dinner?” Grant it, it gets annoying, but we think it’s his way of saying, “I love you.” At least I hope that’s what it means. Eating while traveling can be difficult or fun. For us, it’s part of the draw. It’s the challenge,…
