Grand Canyon

On our way to Las Vegas we took a detour to the Hoover Dam.

We walked along the bridge that put us in both Nevada & Arizona within one stride.
I’m not much of a history buff, but I do like to see things I learned about in school.

A few days later we took a tour from Vegas to the Grand Canyon!

It was a bus ride to the West Rim, then a helicopter ride to the bottom of the canyon & then a pontoon ride along the Colorado River.

If you do nothing else, TAKE THE HELICOPTER RIDE!! It was so cool to see the canyon up so close & to feel like you were going into a whole new world.

The pontoon ride was pretty cool too. It was a little bit of a hike to the dock— which I enjoyed.
Pretty much the whole time we were down there I was in awe of God’s beautiful creation!

Then they took us back up just in time for a crazy rainstorm. We had lunch under a tent & when it finally let up a bit we hike up Guano Point.

Being that it was raining off & on, it was SLIPPERY!
But we were determined to make it to the very top point.
Here’s the view from the top looking back to where we came from:

We eventually made our way over to Eagle Point where we took some more pictures, of course!

Because it had rained we were unable to go on the skywalk— but that leaves something for us to do when we return!

Let us know what part of the Grand Canyon you’ve been to or would like to go to in the comments below!

Homeschool Preschool

 Let me start out by saying, I am no teacher. I am a mother of two children (7 & 4 years old) & was homeschooled most of my childhood (3rd-12th grade).       Side note: Homeschool is really spelled home school. But literally everyone turns it into one word (& if you don't, you haven't been homeschooled 😂) Back in March, I was working part-time as a business manager for a charter bus company. When all our trips were getting canceled it was all so confusing as to why. Everything was open, people weren't getting sick around us- yet.  I got an email from my children's school saying they we were going to be doing remote learning for the next two weeks. Ok, so two weeks remote learning & remote working.... I could handle that. WRONG! My kids never went back to school & I never went back to the office. Buses parked. Kids forced to stay home. People panicking, getting sick. Cleaning more than we needed to. Someone bought all the toilet paper. P...

Summer 2020

 I realize I have been not keeping up with blog posts, but I promise I'll try & make up for the silence in the last couple of months. We have been on and off traveling. Whether it be day trips or overnight trips, we have been quite a few places this summer. I've already told you about a few of them. If you follow my instagram account ( @adventurezofthislife ) you already know where we've been. If you don't, go follow me now!! It is where I keep everyone the most updated on our day to day activities.  Over the summer I asked you all, "What would you like to see more of on my insta?". The results were more RV overnights. With COVID-19 a lot of our plans were canceled because of work situations. We took 4 overnight RV trips & have at least 1 more planned for this month. At this point, trips are planned very close to departure. We have been unable to make secure plans far in advance. But we have been trying to use the time we have "parked" findin...

Take a Hike

 As I said in a few posts back, George & I have taking up hiking. Although we've only gone about 1,400 ft. high & 6.5 miles in one day, we are working our way up to even bigger in the future. I can say, that I am not in the best shape- read: terrible at steps. haha It seems every hike we've gone on has steps or a step like obstacle. I'm going to try & implement a steps workout into my day to day exercise so when challenged with this on the mountain side, it will be much easier. With that said, where have we gone so far? I'm glad you asked! My first hike this summer was actually with my younger sister, Emilie. We went to Grace Lord Park, Bontoon, NJ, to see the waterfalls. Then we hiked Turkey Mountain. Grace Lord Park was a nice one for kids if you are taking them with you. When hiking Turkey Mountain, we weren't exactly sure where we were going but we did find a nice stream & saw some cool views from the top. The kids & I went on a nice hike in ...
