From a recent road trip through our state of Arizona and neighboring New Mexico. I’ve heard people say how desolate some of the landscape is in these two states, but all I see is magic. Petrified Forest, Arizona Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico People lived here once, some 11,000 years ago. There was snow too,… Read More Magical landscapes – Arizona and New Mexico
This summer we were able to get away from our scorching desert heat and fly away to Kona. We’ve been there before, some 3-4 years ago and enjoyed it so much we had to come back to explore more. Where we stayed. We stayed at this cute, little eco-cottage, tucked in lush greenery that had… Read More Travel Adventures – Hawaii, The Big Island
I am in love with desert plants. I love drawing them, painting them, sewing them….and aside from the thorns they are pretty easy to take care of. Very forgiving, for someone forgetful like myself, they don’t die on me if I forget to water them. Actually I don’t water them. I like turning my photos… Read More The desert in black and white
Spring break this year: road trip to New Mexico and flying to Oregon exploring the coast. Here are some photos of both of our adventures. Eastern Arizona: New Mexico: Silver City White Sands Oregon:
One of our favorite things to do as a family is go on road trips. These are often day trips to places and small towns near by.

Working for an airline makes it easier to visit places near and far. So last week… Read More Costa Rica adventures
I had to return an overdue book at the Scottsdale library and since I was alone I decided to stop and checkout the Soleri Bridge (past attempts to do this with kids has resulted in comments that this would be boring). The bridge was designed by the late Paolo Soleri, an Italian architect who worked… Read More Exploring Scottsdale – Soleri Bridge
We like the outdoors and we are always on the lookout for new places, although we have favorites that we visit over and over. We were set on Mt. Lemmon last year, but about half way up, our car was struggling and we didn’t want to push it. There are many many many stops along… Read More Exploring Mt. Lemmon
I went on a day trip to Omaha. It was unplanned. My mom asked if I’d go with her to check on a house she was renting out. The tenants left a few months back and we weren’t sure what condition they left the home. I am trying to remember the last time I was… Read More A day trip to Omaha
A couple of years ago my husband and son were trying to catch the best flight from Chicago to get back to Phoenix. And they did so through Anchorage. When you work for an airline and travel around using your benefits, the best flight may be in totally opposite direction. They spent the day in… Read More Alaska in one and a half day
