Days 8 & 9: Our Weekend in LA.

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates Leave a Comment

After thorough research to find parks and RV parks and spending the following several days camping and driving through Colorado and Utah’s beautiful mountains and canyons, our time in Las Vegas was a definite change of pace and prepared us for a weekend in the City of Angels. Instead of being hurried and busy, though,Read the whole post >>

Days 6 & 7: Zion and Vegas. Wonderfully Crazy.

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates 2 Comments

The Road: Day 1 – Beyonce and Iowa City.

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates Leave a Comment

Pretty much sums up Iowa. And Indiana. After a short stop by my family reunion, complete with candy bar pie binge, we dropped my sister off in Cleveland and drove from 2 pm till 1 am, arriving Iowa City. There are not enough Starbucks (or any other coffee, for that matter) in Iowa. Seriously. AreRead the whole post >>
