When It Rains

Scorching heat by day, thunderstorms by night. Got caught out in the rain on our last evening in ABQ. Good times.

Summer Fest 2009

Some of the best times we’ve had on the trip have been complete surprises. We just had Albuquerque as a rest point before we started the rough stretch through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Tennessee. We had a great time at The Library, had a great meal at Tucano’s Brazilian BBQ, and surprise, surprise, [...]

Welcome to New Mexico

Seeing this sign marks the beginning of the most grueling part of our trip. Going from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and passing through Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, to reach Memphis, Tennessee. It won’t be one straight drive, we’ll break it up in pieces and stopping for the evening, but it will be the most [...]

More Grand Canyon Photos

We’ve posted additional photos during our stay at the Grand Canyon. Be sure to check them out at our gallery page. It really is hard to describe to you how massive the Canyon is. See those green specks in the picture? Yeah, each of those is a full-grown tree. Not [...]
