—RESTRICTED ACCESS—FOR KIDS ONLY!!! Don’t try to read this if you’re an adult or something. This is not for YOU! Teachers are always curious about their students’ summers. Why??? Didn’t they do something fun? Did they just go to teacher camps all summer? This is how I spent the weeks before school started, seeing […]
Lola’s Southern Goodbye: Georgia and Florida
We continued to move quickly through South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida to reach our delivery date, Wednesday September 21st, at the Port of Jacksonville. Although the ship would not be leaving until October 4th, we were able to drop her off early so that we could spend a little time in Guatemala being tourists before our language course […]
Sprinting Down to South Carolina
We have been on the road for almost a month! Granted a lot of this time was spent with family, we have spent most nights sleeping in Lola and figuring things out how she works or how we’re going to have to work with her! ——- We crossed down from New York to Florida Sept […]
Driving Across the Grand Midwest
Todd has driven across the US twice before, I’ve done it once before. So you would think we have a grasp on the size of our beautiful America….we drove from South Western Wyoming to South Central Michigan and it took 3 full days of driving. No sightseeing, just driving. Wow, you could go to your job and […]
TETONS & JACKSON: a HOLE lot of fun!
Our time in Wyoming has been well spent. Jackson is extremely touristy, but its fun to see people’s rendition of The West. Sadly, there is little to no mention of the history of Native Americans. Its as though the white man just appeared here and the land belonged to him. I’m going to […]
A quick dash through Idaho
We didn’t spend a ton of time in Idaho, but the time we spent there was pretty quality and definitely has made us want to come back. From Burns we made a run for the Sawtooth National Forest. On the way, we passed through Boise and restocked the larder. Food, fuel, and a few supplies […]
The Steens: The mountains that too few know about
Pretty incredible. These words describe our time in southeastern Oregon this past week, desertous and dry. The sky is shining blue. The beauty of this area is astounding. If you haven’t visited, I highly recommend a trip of at least a week. There’s plenty to do and not too many people out here to bother you. […]
Quick Update: Jackson
We are in Jackson Wyoming enjoying the city life and taking care of business on the interwebs.
So You’re a Teacher?
Many children and many adults are starting school today, September 1st, it’s a new beginning a fresh opportunity…it’s a perfect time to reflect on my teaching life. One of the ways I convinced myself it was OK to take a break from my teaching career was because I’m a special ed teacher. In my career, […]
Klamath Falls and Burns
After departing Ashland we drove towards Klamath Falls, where we met Todd’s grad school buddy. He is a professor at Oregon Tech, he’s pretty amazing. He’s the resident geotech professor at this small college. And he’s probably the resident geotech within a 200 mile radius too. The school is a teaching college and that is his […]
