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...

RUN RUN TURKEY – A Thanksgiving-themed game created by the Martin kids!

Introducing RUN RUN TURKEY!  Ellie, Finn, and Deacon have been working hard to create a game using Scratch, a coding program designed by MIT.  Together they designed and created every image you see, and used code to make everything move.  Click the green flag twice to...

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! ...

Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Our awesome campsite was only ten minutes from the Carlsbad Caverns NP entrance! I was a little worried that another cavern would be kind of boring, since we'd already been to Luray Caverns, Endless Caverns, and Mammoth Cave.  The ranger insisted, "You've seen the...

Guadalupe Mountains National Park

We were about half an hour away from the Guadalupe Mountains NP entrance, so it was an easy drive, and we got to cross back into Texas for a hot minute!   Karlee gets into her crate under the bus in the bay when we leave, plus we were gone during the day (and not...
THE BULK BARN

THE BULK BARN

You guys.  The adjectives do not even exist to give this store its due praise.  We went at least four times during the week. Seriously, I can't even.  They had everything.  I would live here if I could.  Can you imagine living near a place like this?! This concept...

More Kingston

More Kingston

The rest of the week was filled with more fishing and relaxing.  There weren't any additional skunk visits, but there was still plenty of wildlife hanging around. We took the ferry to Wolfe Island one day.  It was cool to see the wind turbines all over.  There wasn't...

Au Revoir, Quebec!

Au Revoir, Quebec!

We spent the rest of the week shopping (excellent conversion rate, woot woot!), doing random bus projects (remember the door/ratchet strap picture?), and checking out the Hergé exhibit at the Musée de la civilisation. We had to talk ourselves into leaving at the end...

Welcome to Europe

Welcome to Europe

Walking in the downtown area of Quebec City is like stepping directly onto a street in France.  Billy and I have been to France but the kids have not, so this was even more special for them.  Prepare yourself for picture overload. We strolled up and down the streets,...
