You know how much we like finding those gem campgrounds and RV parks. I’m happy to report we’ve found another gem! Mark’s aunt now lives outside Boise and planned a family reunion for June of this year. It was going to be a big event with new cousins to meet and family coming from several…

Labor Day
Labor Day was set aside way back in 1894 to honor the American labor movement and contributions made to the strength, prosperity, laws and well-being of our country. It also marks the unofficial end of summer, a time folks in hot Arizona are welcoming with open arms! Enjoy your day and thank those that are…
A Life Long Camper
When I say Mark grew up camping, I really mean it. He has camped his entire life. It was a white 1964 Corvair Van. A camping van complete with a little refrigerator, sink and stove. They later added a little pop up for the top that added another sleeping spot. Then came a little awning…
Ouray RV Park & Cabins
Ouray, Colorado is one of our favorite places. It’s a magical place. We found it in 2001 on our way home from Yellowstone. We only planned on staying one night but that quickly changed to three. Our first stay was at the Ouray KOA north of town. We rented a Jeep right from the campground…
WE ARE THREE!

BBQ Meatloaf
We like meatloaf in our house, it’s good comfort food. I especially like leftover meatloaf as a sandwich the next day. We’ve always made meatloaf in the oven, we never dreamed of making it on the grill. One huge question was always there: How do you keep the meatloaf from falling through the grill grates?! …
Bacon Jalapeno Mac & Cheese
File this delicious dish in the “where have you been all my life” file folder. Holy smokes this is good. I’ve cheated making macaroni and cheese almost my entire adult life. Making it from scratch just took too long for this busy mom. I am hereby apologizing to my children right now for this terrible…

Your children will eagerly dip apple slices in this while conquering their homework and looking at you angelically. Your RV driving partner will proclaim you the best snack maker ever after devouring the plate put together during the…
Verde Ranch RV Resort
A great new campground recently opened in our local mountains that I have to tell you about! Verde Ranch RV Resort opened in August, 2019. We watched it being built as we drove on I-17 on our way to Flagstaff and beyond. We told each other each time we passed it that we needed to…
Malahide Castle
We finished our big anniversary trip to the UK with a few days in Dublin. Along the way of our trip, we visited my grandmother’s birth place and the church Mark’s great great grandfather grew up in. Ireland held more family roots for both of us. My mother’s family hails from Ireland, though many of…
