I dropped my son off at the airport this morning. He’s on a 10-day adventure and I’m left with a funny feeling. It marks a change in my life. A shift. Some people call it the empty nest syndrome. Whatever… I called my brother. He has three daughters, the last one just graduated from college … Continue reading That Funny Feeling
We’re in Park City now. Yesterday, was a whole bunch of rain showers as we travelled from Avon, CO to Dinosaur. Saw some nice lightening, too. It wasn’t cold, so we just did our thing which was driving around and looking at stuff. I’m glad that we didn’t visit the Monument in the summer months. … Continue reading Dinosaur National Monument
Tomorrow, we’re fishing again. Jeff, our teacher/guide, will be taking us somewhere to catch some small mouth bass. I know, I know, we should be catching trout, right? But Mr. Al has a love affair with bass catching and I’m not one to judge since catching anything at this point will be a major event … Continue reading Chillaxin’ In Colorado

Crunchy, dusty dry with a warm wind that blows pretty steadily. We arrived around 3:00pm and had just enough time … Continue reading Welcome to Elko
Good morning, Peeps! Have you been enjoying your Memorial Day long weekend? Mr. Al and I’ve been making lists of things-to-do-before-we-leave. Have you noticed that the closer a vacation gets, the more you realize how badly you need one? I’ll tell you what, I have definitely earned this one. Big Time. Yesterday, I pushed the … Continue reading Countdown to Travel
Note to self: If you’re ever going to be seeing as many National Monuments and Parks as you did on this trip again, spend the $100 and buy an All-Park-Pass or whatever it’s called. Yes, we did go to Crater Lake, after all, and the view was spectacular. Here, take a look— And even … Continue reading Crater Lake National Park
