Stop #32 – Benson, AZ

Moving east, we set our sights on Tucson.  But, the drive to Tucson was a little too far for one day (we move sloooooow, remember?).  Billy has a cousin who is a pastor in the little snowbird town of Benson, AZ so we decided to stop there for Saturday night.  This was...

Stop #31 – White Sands, NM

We decided to be in San Diego for Christmas, since Carrington could easily fly into the airport there from Richmond.  We thought it would be fun to then drive to Los Angeles, especially since her roommate lives there and would be home during their Christmas break! ...

Baseball (and more!) Town

Baseball (and more!) Town

Cooperstown is home to Cooperstown Dreams Park, a huge Little League mecca.  We're not all that into baseball, but we like it enough, and we had fun walking around the park one evening. We also toured a local cider mill, which was fun.  After some not-so-subtle hints...

Hershey Park

Hershey Park

Oh we do love a good amusement park.  We snagged two-day tickets, and Billy took Friday off, so all that stood between us and "The Sweetest Place on Earth" was a thirty minute car drive. Oh but we had to stop around the halfway point because we had forgotten to put...

Caverns That Are Endless

Caverns That Are Endless

Endless Caverns (and Endless Caverns Campground) is named so because of the caverns that are right on site.  With all the other stuff we did during the week, we almost missed all of our chances to see them.  We made the very last tour on Friday, and we had an awesome...
