Saguaro National Park

We were amazed at how much we enjoyed Saguaro National Park! Getting out among the cacti was an incredible experience, as it allowed us to truly recognize the diversity of life that exists in the desert.

White Sands National Park

Although White Sands wasn’t quite yet a National Park on our visit, we’ll still count it! We had a great time meandering through the white sand dunes and soaking up the 360 degree sunset views.

Unique Santa Fe, NM

Although we had a number of great experiences in Santa Fe, one stood out against the rest: Meow Wolf! It is an amazing artistic experience we are thrilled we were able to experience (#2 in our Top Experiences thus far).

The majestic Rocky Mountains! Our time in the Rockies was filled with fun, family time, and soaking in the glory of the Elk Rutt (our second favorite experience on the road…thus far!).

Midwest Scramble!

Between visiting friends and family, working to sustain the hull integrity of our RV, and getting familiarized with a new job, we had quite a set of challenges on the road this summer! In this long-overdue post, we will take you on a journey though the mad scurry that ensued.
