After we left Silver City, we drove to Safford, AZ, where we planned on overnighting at WalMart because we would be pulling in so late. When we got to WalMart about 8:30, we found that our generator wouldn’t start (we had run the batteries too low, and I think that we need new ones). It […]
How to get to the Gila Cliff Dwellings…
By 2 Comments
The drive to the Gila Cliff Dwellings begs it’s own post; it was an experience in itself. We were parked in Silver City, so we decided to take highway 15 to the dwellings since it goes between Silver City and the dwellings, while the alternate 35 is about 8 miles east of S.C., and miles […]

After leaving City of Rocks, we mosied on down the road to the WalMart in Silver City. It was too late to go to the Gila Cliff Dwellings yet that day, so we spent the night in the parking lot, and the next morning took the van to the dwellings. Since the crazy, beautiful drive […]
Goodbye City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico…

After we left Leasburg Dam S.P., we decided to camp at City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico. We had visited on a day trip last year and spent a few hours climbing on the rocks, and decided that it would be a super fun place to have a few down days. Vaughn found […]

After our most fabulous building weekend, we went a bit north into New Mexico. We stayed at Leasburg Dam State Park where we met the super friendly and helpful camp host, enjoyed their very clean shower houses, and played non-stop on their Peanut-approved playground! It is a very nice park, but (note to self), next […]

I’m a firm believer that all families need to have a ‘thing’. Something that helps to shape their identity as a family, something that they do as a team. Before we full-timed, our ‘thing’ was camping. We all planned for it, worked on it, and enjoyed it. Everything Together. Now that we full-time, ‘camping’ isn’t […]

Wednesday afternoon, we dropped off Lydia (Hannah’s friend), and hit the road for El Paso. Since it is a 10 hour drive from DFW to El Paso, it would be a bit longer for us, and we didn’t want to do the whole thing in one day. We got several hours down on Wednesday, and […]
Fort Worth Zoo…
On Wednesday, we picked Lydia up from school and went to the Fort Worth Zoo… The little girls had been so very anxious to go to a zoo. We hadn’t done a single one this whole trip! We were planning on going to a zoo while we were in Waco, but didn’t make it. Molly […]
family friendly stops in Fort Worth, Texas…

Last Tuesday, after going to the stockyards and lunch, we had really wanted to go to the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing. It is the only other place in the US, besides DC, where they print money. You can take a 45 minute tour, but during lunch I did a little more research, and […]
more family friendly Fort Worth at the stockyards!
We had such a great time with Hannah’s friend Lydia this week! We got her to spend the night with us on Monday, and no, she didn’t have to sleep on the floor 🙂 the couch is a hide-a-bed! On Tuesday, we drug her all over Fort Worth. Our first stop was the Fort Worth […]
