Looking for the Right Plug

One of the consequences of change is that we are invited to relate to the world in a different way than we did before, whether slightly or in a very drastic move to become a different person.  I like the degrees of change when I am morphing, myself;  a little...

New Beginnings

Well, the horse is already out of the starting gate, having been chomping at the bit to get out.....we felt that 2008 was a year of the beginning of the end (boy, it sure was) and we feel 2009 being all about the solidification of new beginnings. I am a...

Santa Cruz area

We arrived in Felton, just north of Santa Cruz, on Wednesday the 19th and have been here for a week at the fabulous Cotillion Gardens campground under the majestic Redwood trees.  The park is surrounded by Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, also heavily forested with...

Monterey

Monterey is located on the Monterey Peninsula, about 2 hours south of San Francisco and two hours north of San Luis Obispo…it is the apparent dividing line between southern and northern California when looking at a map.  The Peninsula is not a pronounced one in the...

We Found It…(we think!)

Back in Colorado, when we were contemplating this trip to find our next location, we had some ideas in our heads.  We saw ourselves blasting quickly through southern California and really beginning the search once we got inland and north of San Francisco.  Living in...

Our Foray into Los Angeles, California

Well, okay, one thing that did hold up in terms of what I have heard about L.A. was the traffic…..driving the RV through with all of the fancy cars zipping in and out was so stressful for Peter (I was in the scout car ahead, walkie-talkie-ing directions and lane...

Surprises in So Cal

We have had an eventful time since we left Tucson! The drive over to the Pacific was merciless as we did not make reservations (BIG NO-NO when you are driving something 35 feet long and weighing 20,000 pounds), so poor Pete was stuck behind Jude’s wheel for 400 miles...

Having a Great Time in Tucson

We have been in Tucson, AZ since Sunday, after a tiring 2.5 day drive from deep in the heart of Texas.  We LOVE it here....Peter and I lived here for almost 5 years; Jess was born here (and therefore qualifies for native "desert rat" status) and Aidan was concieved...

Goodbye, Tejas…Part 2

We also took time to see the Texas State Aquarium on Corpus Christi Beach.  It is a smaller facility than we are used to for an aquarium, but it made up for size in quality.  I had particularly sweet interactions with the sea turtles, which crowded around to pose for...

Goodbye, Tejas!

We have officially left Texas, ya'll! When we arrived down in the Corpus Christi area to fetch the RV on October 5th, it was a balmy 90 degrees and the soft, moist air billowed our sails after a LONG drive down from Colorado.  After waking up to 30 degree mornings...
