We were all looking forward to arriving in Tucson and just relaxing. We had plans to just sit by the pool and veg basically for the two weeks over Christmas and New Years. But as you all know this is the year for crazy weird weather all over. So we only spent a few days by the pool, and then quickly ran home for some hot chocolate. Continue reading

Oh how we loved Austin…..
We arrived very early so once we were all unpacked and set up we went into town to get some lunch, we were told to check out Torchy’s Taco’s and boy were we glad we did, they were so good. After that we went for a nice leisurely stroll through the Botanical Gardens. The kids really enjoyed the ponds and watching the fish. Continue reading

We stayed at the Bayou Segnette State Park, it’s a really nice and quiet state park and only about a 20 minute drive to downtown and the French Quarter.
We arrived the day before Thanksgiving and we were so thankful to connect with old friends who just moved to the area in July. They were gracious enough to welcome us into their home for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a great night all around.

This week we stayed just outside of Vicksburg which is right on the Mississippi. We only stayed for 5 days, needless to say they were jam packed full of touristing goodness. Continue reading

We have been going hard basically since we left Canada so by the time we got to Memphis a couple of the kids were getting the sniffles and were overall just tired. So we did a little more relaxing this week and a little less touring.
We had a very nice relaxing stroll along the Mississippi and a picnic lunch. Continue reading

We didn’t really know anything about Missouri when we drove in and were taken aback by its beauty, especially the more south we went.
Our first day we spent checking out Dewey Short Visitor Centre on Table Rock Dam, and the Shepard of the hills fish hatchery at the base of the dam. Continue reading

We were in South Dakota for about 6 days, and they were jam packed as there was so much to see. The first day we went to go check out Mount Rushmore in the morning and The Crazy Horse Memorial in the afternoon. Mount Rushmore was pretty phenomenal, you see it so much in movies but to actually be standing there staring up at the mountain was something else.

When planning for our trip and mapping out our route, the Devils Tower had been the first big stop on our way. So we were all so very excited. The drive up was a bit of a tease, every time we came over a hill and got closer to the tower we would look off into the distance to see if we could see it and we never could. It wasn’t until we were only a couple miles away that it came within range. But when it did the kids went wild with excitement.

We all woke up very eager to go on our ‘first’ real adventure. So far up until now we have been driving pretty well for the past 3 days only stopping to sleep and get groceries. Needless to say the kids also had a lot of pent up energy to burn off. So we set off to the Bighorn National Forest, it was a pretty grey day with some clouds around the tops of the mountains. Continue reading

During our first chaotic week of being in Cochrane I went on the hunt for something fun and local for the kids and I to do. We were doing laundry and I found a few local magazines and brochures. In one of the magazines was this lovely painting and write up about “The Grandfather Tree”. Im a sucker for a good nature walk so I thought it would be perfect and exactly what we would need.
