We left Oklahoma to make our way to Estes Park, Colorado for one of my cousin’s weddings. We were able to hang out with my Nana, aunts, uncles, and cousins from Illinois. It’s always good to see everyone. These are views from our cabin. We had a nice view of the mountains. All the women in our cabin (missing Megan)…
We made it to Oklahoma City! It was so good to see Kristin and Nathan again. It was also good to see all of their pups again and meet the new ones! We had a great time and very much enjoyed our stay even though they didn’t let us steal one of their dogs! I had no idea that Oklahoma…
After visiting the Grand Canyon, we were going to make our way to Oklahoma City to visit one of Scott’s sisters. On the way, we decided to stop at the Petrified forest and Painted Forest in Arizona. It was a really neat park. The main road went right through the park with lots of pullouts for viewpoints or short walks.…
Today we went to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. On the way we stopped in Barstow for lunch. This is apparently on the historic Route 66 and very touristy. On our drive we noticed that all of the sudden the ground was black. A quick glance at the map and found out that it was Pisgah Volcano and…
From Las Vegas we headed to Pasadena, California. One of Scott’s brothers lives there. On the way, we saw some pretty cool mountains, a solar plant, a sand storm, and lots of the Mojave Desert. We made it to John’s house and were able to hang out and have dinner with him and his family. It was so good to…
We spent a couple of days in Las Vegas for TravCon. It’s a conference for traveling healthcare professionals. We were able to attend talks on housing options, negotiating contracts, tax rules, etc. We were also able to meet lots of different companies and see what they had to offer. We started the conference on Sunday with what they called Newbie…
We got up and got an early start to make our way to Las Vegas. On the way, I wanted to make one stop in Death Valley. The roads in the desert are so long and so straight. Happy Birthday to Scott! On our trip we passed warning signs for all kinds of animals. There were signs for cattle, deer,…
We drove about 10 hours and stopped for the night. We decided to take a more scenic route and got to see some beautiful scenery. Mt Hood was so pretty. The pictures don’t really do it justice. We stopped at a rest stop for a break and walking back to the car we saw a police officer running lights and…
There were no cases on Friday so we were able to get a little earlier start than we had anticipated. We got everything packed and ready to hit the road about lunchtime. It took us a while to settle into Seaside when we got there in March, but we loved it by the time we left. We got to see…
Thursday we met up with some of our friends for a good time at the winery. As always, there was lots of wine and lots of laughing. We have enjoyed Seaside and the friends we have made here. What better way to spend our last evening? I mean, maybe we should have spent it packing the last of our stuff…
