If you have read my past entries, you know that being on the road has it’s own special challenges. However; sometimes the stars align and life is very good indeed. This week we have spot right on the bluffs, and work has been light affording me time to really enjoy the location. When we wakeContinue reading “Roses and Rainbows”

Bragg about it
Last week was a blur for me. The culmination of a year of effort at work resulted in a lot of over time as we finalized for launch on Monday. That meant I ended up doing very little other than working and didn’t get to enjoy the location as I typically would. We spent throughContinue reading “Bragg about it”
Ocean View
Welcome to the post formerly known as Viva Las Vegas. We spent last work week at Lake Meade and visited the strip one evening. It was amazing and disappointing at the same time. I’ve never been to Vegas before so my expectations were set by movies. I was expecting flashy lights, cheap drinks, cheap food,Continue reading “Ocean View”
Two pounds in a one pound bag
I missed a week and feel a little overwhelmed with covering everything in one blog entry. The time involved switchbacks into the mountains, a rattlesnake, old friends, hiking, Phoenix, Old Town Scottsdale, Joshua trees, Boulder City, Lake Meade, Vegas, a React conference, and more. So I guess, start at the beginning. We stayed in CatalinaContinue reading “Two pounds in a one pound bag”

Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.
For the first time in our travels, I had a complete tourist geek out. When I was old enough to drive my best friend and I would listen to music far louder than we should have. One of our favorites was The Eagles Greatest Hits. I don’t even have a guess how many times itContinue reading “Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.”
Joyful Journey
In the high desert of Colorado, nestled between mountain ranges, is a lovely little hot spring named Joyful Journey. This is the sort of fairy tale setting everyone dreams about who wants to pull up stakes and hit the open road. The air is fresh and clear, the sunlight sharp, and the views breathtaking. ForContinue reading “Joyful Journey”
It isn’t all roses and rainbows
After five years of planning and six months of trying out life on the road we took the leap. On August 20th 2019 we sold our house and became official Xscapers. The process of downsizing and preparing the house for sale while working full time was intense, both emotionally and physically. It took us overContinue reading “It isn’t all roses and rainbows”
