We are lucky to have so many national parks relatively close. One of our favorites is Bryce Canyon. Seriously, if we lived closer, we’d probably visit once a month. Our favorite place to stay is Ruby’s just outside the park. Ruby’s story goes back to the early 1900’s when Rueben “Ruby” Syrett moved his family…
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…
Easy Peach Cobbler
Today is National Peach Day! Oh how I love fresh peaches. It’s so hot in Arizona that peach season is early compared the peach state of Georgia. I use fresh peaches whenever I can, there is nothing like them. What’s a peach loving, RV traveling girl to do without fresh peaches? Improvise with the jarred…
Cheer to 8 years!
Today we are celebrating our blog’s 8th birthday! It’s been a busy year! We traveled to 17 states and stayed at several new campgrounds; one even had a beach side tiki bar! We were able to attend the big FRVA International Convention in Georgia. Thank you to everyone that attended, laughed at Mark’s jokes and…
Ouray in the Fall
I’m so excited we are returning to Ouray, Colorado and showing it to our dear friends. It’s only one of our favorite places, pretty no matter what time of year but absolutely spectacular in the fall. As I’ve said before, Aspen trees are my favorite tree. It’s like they are waving to you the way…
Ouray Riverside Resort
Ouray, Colorado is one of our favorite places. It is truly 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…
Downtown Riverside RV Park
This is an unexpected gem in Little Rock, Arkansas. We were trekking across the country for the FRVA Rally in Georgia after a stop in Alabama to get some work done on our motorhome. Mark read good things about park and the drive time worked to stay a night. It’s located immediately east of I-30…
Snickerdoodles
You know my love for chocolate chip cookies. It runs deep. These snickerdoodles run a close second. Especially in Mark’s eyes. He likes them so much I keep Cream of Tartar in the RV so I’m always ready! He asked for them fresh from the RV several years ago while we were in Alabama. “Can…
Remembering the North Rim
Losing the Lodge and Visitor’s center along with employee housing and guest cabins last week was tough to watch. Initial pictures had me thinking it was totally gone and, it kind of is. However, the stone remains as well as the patio Adirondack chairs and several cabins. The campground general store may still be standing,…
Jalapeno Bacon Mac & Cheese
It’s National Mac & Cheese Day! Today’s post is “oh so good” and a perfect way to celebrate this delicious day! 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…
