I’m not a person for living in big cities.
I often regret missing the opportunities and options for activities and cultural events, especially where the children are concerned. But we can go visit those if we choose, like our visit to Roboworld in Pittsburgh just before we went west. (Being able to touch the Lost in [...]

Why o Why Wyoming?
After the stunning day at Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, we continued the magic, as we pressed east into Wyoming’s Bighorn National Forest. The land was every bit as diverse as the website says:
Then we also saw this interesting pyramid-looking rock called Copman’s Tomb:
No wonder the guy wanted to be buried [...]

Letting go
Today I had a plan. We were going to get up, get to point A, continue to point B, and be ready for several other events at yet a third location.

Part of a story I wrote a few years ago is [...]

I think it would take me a long time to get [...]

This is my country–pimples and all
The first several days of this trip were geared for speed and efficiency, not fun. So we zoomed across the first several states–or tried to, until we hit Illinois, the State of Highway Renewal.
For a 200-mile stretch of highway, there was a work area about every 15 minutes, and we actually went five miles in [...]

On the road again
The older I get, traveling seems to be one of my favorite occupations. Not that I get to do it that much. But each summer we seem to try to fit in more and more places to see.
This summer we’ve agreed that the Captain needs some time away from us and vice versa, and he’s [...]
