A Day Spent in Ghost Towns

A Day Spent in Ghost Towns

 Saturday, April 12, 2014 Today we visited several ghost towns – completely different meanings of the phrase “ghost town”, but all somehow earning that title. It’s days like this when I feel like a true South-westerner. Driving down quiet hilly highways and bumpy dirt roads, hiking several miles to find an old mining town, seeing a snake and worrying about… Read More

Celebrating Curtis

Celebrating Curtis

April 9, 2014 – Curtis’ 21st Birthday!   Every day, I find a reason to celebrate being married to the greatest man I know. He blesses me in so many ways, and has made the past 8.5 months of marriage wonderful. The time we’ve had together has been filled with so much excitement, as even this blog has shown! He’s… Read More

March 2014 Adventures

A review of our March, just a little late 🙂 What were we doing in March when we weren’t on our vacation? Having adventures, of course!

But we’ve still gotten out a bit and enjoyed this gorgeous weather – the warmest winter ever… Read More

Our Great Southwest Adventure: Day 7

Vacation Day 7 – March 22, 2014 – Last day! For our last full day of vacation, we spent the day exploring the greater area of Payson, AZ, by way of letterboxing!

Our Great Southwest Adventure: Day 6

Day 6: March 21, 2014 Farmington, NM to Payson, AZ For most of our trip, we had carefully spaced out all the places we were visiting and made sure we were only driving 3-5 hours. But today, we couldn’t avoid a longer (7 hour) drive. We ended up adding on more to our time by going back to 4 corners…. Read More
