Today we’re going back to the summer of 2006. Our big trip in 2004 took us to the northeast so this time we went to the great northwest and western Canada. This was the last trip when I wasn’t the shortest person in the house. This was our second trip to Canada, the last trip being…

Summer FMCA Savings
Summer is here! Long days lounging in the sun with cool nights, oh wait. Not in the lower desert of Arizona. We are moving headlong into the hottest part of the year as I count the days until our monsoon storms roll in. June is our hottest month of the year and that’s when we…
Playing in Pagosa Springs
Exploring Pagosa Springs had been on our radar for a while. We’d driven through a few times, each time saying how we needed to come back. Summer is a great time to visit Pagosa Springs and our plan was to hike as much as possible. We both had been on the AllTrails app marking trails. …
