Hoover Dam
I have been extremely fortunate to be able to work remotely for my current contract. It has allowed us to get out of Illinois during the cold months and get to warmer states so that Amanda can feel better. Along with that, working for a company that is on central time while I am on the west coast me...
Meteor Crater + Grand Canyon
We made it to Flagstaff, Arizona! First on our things to see. Meteor Crater National Landmark: This crater is significant as it was the first crater to actually have been proven to be from a meteor. From the lessons learned at this site, they were then able to identify more meteor craters throughout...
White Sands + VLA
White Sands was unexpectedly cool. The main reason we chose to head to that area of New Mexico was to split up the drive to Arizona, but I'm glad we decided to stop here. We ended up walking the entire length of a mile long hike through the sands (Good job Amanda!), which took us through some really...
The Trip To New Mexico
Our Sunday started bright and early... or rather not bright at all as we needed to leave our Airbnb by 6 am for the long drive ahead. With it still dark out, we hit the road to make our way northwest up towards New Mexico. Sleepiness aside, we had a great opportunity to watch the sun come over the h...
San Antonio
Much of our time down in Texas has been plagued by crummy weather. Nearly the entire time we were in Dallas it was raining and San Antonio proved to be no exception. A similar thing happened to us when we were in Europe so we are beginning to think we bring the bad weather. In any case, Saturday...
We Left The House...
Saturday we headed over to Dallas to actually go into the Sixth Floor Museum where Oswald allegedly fired the shot that killed Kennedy (I say allegedly to appease all of the conspiracy theorists among you). We bought our tickets online, but had to queue up and wait in line to get into the museum. It...
Ok, I remembered to make a post finally
I had better get things caught up before I get too far behind:D Our drive to Texas was fairly uneventful. The first day was the worst of it taking somewhere around 11 hours, but for the most part it was a pretty easy journey. One of those where you don't really notice how long you have been in the c...
Leave Date Fast Approaching
Howdy All, It's time to pack up and head west! (I use pack up very loosely as we have been living out of bags for the past 7 months) We've been making a list of fun places to check out (...no really we have): Right now we have no set destinations, just hoping to get to warmer climates before the win...
