Day 9 – Rafting & Dinosaurs
For the past two days we have been at the same campsite, just outside of Arches and Canyonlands NP. It is set in the desert and the fine sand makes everything dusty, but it also makes it feel very “authentic wild west” – the little wooden church at the entrance helps with that too, IContinueContinue reading “Day 9 – Rafting & Dinosaurs”
Day 8 – Canyonlands
Today we let Arthur pick the day’s activities. This is a nice vacation hack when traveling with impatient boys. Give them a concrete idea of what’s involved in planning a vacation day and reap the rewards of them tolerating some activity you yourself have planned. Leo is on tap to choose activities one day atContinueContinue reading “Day 8 – Canyonlands”

Day 5 – Alien encounters (terrestrial & extra-terrestrial)
Today we experienced two completely alien worlds: the underground marvels of Carlsbad Caverns NP and the alternative reality of Roswell, NM. First up – Mother Nature’s Treasury. We decided we would walk into the cave – a mile-long hike that takes you down 80 stories (or 800 feet) below the surface. While prepared for theContinueContinue reading “Day 5 – Alien encounters (terrestrial & extra-terrestrial)”
Day 4 – Feelin’ Groovy
Spent a loooong day driving from Weatherford, TX (outside of Dallas) to Carlsbad, NM to get to Carlsbad Caverns in time for the impressive 1.7 million-bats-belched-out-of-cave show that begins at sundown. There was an hour-long setup in an amphitheater right outside the cave. How much info about bats is too much? We were right thereContinueContinue reading “Day 4 – Feelin’ Groovy”
Day 3 – Hot Springs
Hello, my name is Leo. At the campground we went bike riding in the morning. Then we went to Hot Springs National Park. It has fountains that are 140F. Some fountains were cooler than other fountains, so you could touch the water. Hot Springs also had lots of candy shops and we bought some candyContinueContinue reading “Day 3 – Hot Springs”

Day 1 – The Adventure Begins
We are finally on the road!!! Blogging tonight from McFarland Park Campground in Florence, AL, within sight of the famed “shoals” that gave the name to the neighboring Muscle Shoals (better known among music lovers for the Fame Recording Studios). After a long day of finishing up packing and driving for 7 hours, we strolled theContinueContinue reading “Day 1 – The Adventure Begins”
