As fun thing for our family to do together we decided to join the ‘painting rocks movement’. We thought it would be fun to paint rocks and leave them in places for others to find. And since we are a traveling family we thought it would be a lot of fun to leave … [Read more…]
The other day we decided to go check out Huntington, WV. I’d been told that this was a neat little town. We decided we’d go check out some of the parks. One of these was Ritter Park. This park definitely goes on my list of favorite parks. The first part of the park we visited … [Read more…]
About two weeks ago we decided to head to Beckley and check out one of their attractions- a real life coal mine. That’s quite the novelty for a couple of South Carolinians that have no coal mining experience. The tour when we first arrived was full and they actually gave us a discount to join … [Read more…]
We headed about an hour and a half away to visit the New River Gorge Bridge. It was built in 1977 and, at one time, was the longest arch bridge in the world. Today, it is the second largest arch bridge in the world. Pretty neat, right? Our first stop was the New River … [Read more…]

When I meet people and they find out that I’m a travel nurse, traveling with my family, they have two main questions. What does your husband do, is he a nurse, too? And, what do you do about school for your kids. I’d say those are two very natural questions and I never have any … [Read more…]
Our Visit to Montezuma Castle National Monument One of my favorite things to do while traveling is to visit the National Parks an Monuments. Today we visited Montezuma Castle. The main attraction is a 5-story structure that with 45 rooms built into the side of a cliff. Early American settlers mistakenly thought that it was … [Read more…]
Well, here we are in Arizona, doing something I never thought we would be doing. We have left our home, family and friends to set out on adventure. We packed ourselves (my husband and I), my two children, our dog and turtle and traveled over 2,200 miles in our new 32-foot bunkhouse Class C RV. … [Read more…]
