Going Camping
After a cold and rainy Memorial Day it is turning into a lovely weekend, so we plan to take the trailer out to the state park for a couple of nights. We’ll go tonight, and Lyle will come back into town for work tomorrow. There is no cell phone service or internet out there, but I plan to take my…

Stowaway!
We had a surprise passenger on our trip to Yakima on Friday. We stopped at a rest area about an hour down the road, and I went back to the travel-trailer to get something. When I opened the door Tabitha Cat jumped out! Now, our dog loves to travel and is often invited along on trips, as she was this…

Trip to Canada
The trip to Canada over the weekend was a lot of fun. Even though we aren’t all that far from the border, we don’t go up there very often, so we feel like quite the “international travelers” when we do! My husband and I have been across the border into Mexico once, and to Canada no more than a half…

RVin’
We bought a travel trailer last year, and we are enjoying it so much as we travel on weekends to homeschool conventions. My husband and I think we would love to live on the road, at least for awhile. But that doesn’t seem to be a practical scenario with my husband’s job, so we are glad to have the opportunity…

10 Hours in an Airport
I was in Denver last week for a training conference, along with about 30 others. Everyone was to leave after 1:00 p.m. on Saturday so we were dropped off at the airport about noon. My flight was not scheduled to leave until 9:40 p.m. I knew I’d have a long wait just hanging out until my flight started boarding. What…

I *still* love camping!
When I was a little girl, we mostly lived out in the country. So we never went camping. No need to, really. However, Lyle was a city boy and among his best memories growing up are the family camping trips. He taught me how to camp after we got married, and I’ve always loved it. I think mostly because I…

Highway 1
On Day 5 of our roadtrip we drove up the central coast of California on Highway 1. It was pretty foggy – not ground fog to make road visibility bad – but enough to make it hard to see the ocean. I guess that’s typical for mornings this time of year. The fog finally burned off about noon and we…

Route 66
Day 4 of our roadtrip called for an uneventful 10-hour trip from Williams, Arizona to San Luis Obispo, California. We continued to see signs about Historic Route 66 as we drove along and we talked about how much fun it would be to try to follow the old route sometime. We stopped in Kingman, Arizona for drinks (at Sonic!) and…

Grand Canyon
We spent the first day of our trip traveling. We enjoyed southern Utah on the second day. Day 3 was our day to see the Grand Canyon. Lyle had planned our trip to allow for plenty of time there. Our first stop inside the park was at an overlook that had a watchtower we could climb for great views of…

Bryce Canyon National Park
We just returned from a 10-day road-trip. Part of it was vacation, and part of it was work-related (homeschool convention). I’ll be posting highlights of the trip as a series. There’s too much to put in one post. Our route took us from our home in north Idaho, down through western Montana, back through the bottom of Idaho, then down…
