On our way back from the Grand Canyon to rejoin with Route 66, we took Highway 180 south in to Flagstaff, AZ. It was a beautiful drive, and on the way we spotted an interesting little building off to the side of the road. We turned around to take a peak, and discovered it was […]
Video Edition: Grand Canyon
We made a last minute detour up to the Grand Canyon off of our Route 66 tour. We found available camping on the South Rim at Mather Campground.

Traveling Full Time To Increase Quality Family Time – Excuse #4
Family, biological or intentional, are a mighty important part of life – whether you are focused on staying connected to them, or sometimes trying to stay as far from them as possible. And we often hear that placing a focus on family is a reason that people don’t travel as much as they would otherwise like.
